Dear Media:
The gold medal game is not going to be a redux of the Miracle on Ice. What we have are two evenly matched NHL teams, not some scrappy college kids playing the all-mighty Canada. Hype the rivalry, hype "avenging the women" (though I doubt anyone else looks at it like that) but for the love of all things shiny, quit trying to make this Miracle on Ice II. The Gold medal game is Sunday. On Monday those guys will be back playing with their teams focusing on the Stanley Cup. |

I'm very happy for the USA's bobsled victory, but Steve Holcomb in a skin-suit is something I really did not need to see in HD.

By praising the sled at such length, the announcers made the bobsled competition sound like the America's Cup. I'm not sure if the crew deserves the gold or the engineers do.

Four runs down a 1,450 meter track Four Tenth's of a second between gold and silver. Four Tenth's. Drop a pen from 2.5' and it's less than that. That's one misstep, one brush of a wall, one hitch in the steering, one wobbly runner on any of the four runs. I don't think you can separate athlete from engineer. It takes both. Of course only one get's to keep the medal because at the end of the day the Olympics are a measure of the athlete not the science behind them. |
