Why would anybody watch the Olympics? I have no F*$%*%&5 clue! So you can see Bode Miller making an ass of himself? So you can watch Johnny Weir skate around in some kind of  ridiculous outfit? Maybe you think the "flyint tomato" is some kind legit athelete?

   In any case, if you are watching this crap you need to get something on your satellite dish other than the Lifetime network, because the winter Olympics sucks! There is no sport involved, maybe art at times, but c'mon, I saw curling on ESPN yesterday!!! Nevermind why I happened to see ESPN during the day, it still should not be televised as a sport anymore than poker or a spelling bee.

   The Olympics, espcially the winter ones have become so watered-down and stupid that you have to be a fan of Hee-Haw to even consider watching them. Shame on NBC for trying to put out a product like this in the era we live in.  Is "Bridezillas" on????

   Maybe Larry Bird should come out of the front office and coach the Pacers again. Either that or I should because they suck so bad it is painful to watch! There are few teams in the NBA that have the talent the Pacers do, but yet they continue to lose in new and inventive ways.

   Depsite the emmergence of Danny Granger in the last few years and the unexpected double-double on a near nightly basis from Troy Murphy, the Pacers just lose and lose. Almost every game I watch they blow a lead and there can only be poor coaching from Jim O'brien to blame. The NBS is a joke in many ways, but it comes down to coaching when the game is on the line late. PLEASE FIRE JIM OBRIEN!!!

 By the way, Mike Dunleavy sucks. Why anyone would try to build around him is beyond me. He may be a nice "Robert Horry' type player on a winning team like the Spurs, but everywhere else he has been, he stinks.

  Enough said.

   In a shocking turn of events yesterday, my predicition came true and the Oakland Raiders managed NOT to lose a football game. The fact that they didn't play may have contributed heavily to this odd circumstance. However, they did make news due to the fact that 63 year old Vince Evans is being brought out of retirement to replace Jamarcus Russell at quarterback.

     In other news, Peyton Manning did his best "Brett Farve" impersonation and the Saints somehow won the Superbowl. Tim Brown, Cris Carter, and Shannon Sharpe continue to NOT be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, although Shannon Sharpe remains as annoying as ever, as evidenced by his commentary in said Super Bowl.

    More tomorrow, after a blockbuster day like that, I have to rest!
