    Doing the Time Warp again.
    What part of “live” doesn’t NBC understand? The Internet has changed so much of the way we watch sports. Mostly it does away with the need for any kind of tape delay. Too bad NBC doesn’t get it. No wonder the whole Jay Leno fiasco happened.

    Thanks for taking some time to take the poll yesterday. Feel free to let me know what’s confusing about the navigation and if you want me to dump a few sidebar widgets. I’ toying with making a few tweaks to the header, so don’t be surprised if you see a new one in the near future.

    Saturday and Sunday Bonus cartoons for this weekend, so be sure to check back for updates

    Olympics: A controversy in the Luge

    Changes were definitely need at the Luge track after the traffic accident on Friday that claimed the life of Nodar Kumaritashvili. There a lot of allegation floating around and apparently the Candians are fuming over their “loss” of home ice advantage. Since when did hosting the Olympics give the hosting country to tailor the venues to provide an advantage for their own athletes. It goes against everything the Olympic spirit stands for. It’s such a shame that it has come to this. Don’t you think?

Word has it that many people complained about the luge track being too fast. Three crashes on Friday, one ending in the tragic loss of a young promising athlete.

    A Tribute to an Athlete Dying young

    What a horrible way to start the games. Word has it that many people complained about the luge track being too fast. Three crashes on Friday, one ending in the tragic loss of a young promising athlete. There will be more on this story but I wanted to share this cartoon from Saturdays Chicago Tribune.

Her story will unfold throughout the weekend and it will be interesting to see the outcome. My predicition is that she will gut it out and compete as best she can. I still think she'll medal. Have a great weekend and thank you all for hanging in there this week with the site. I'll be putting a poll up next week to get a feel for how you like the site and what else I can do to make it worth your daily readership. Drew5February 12, 2010
