I agree that Canada vs Switzerland was great on CNBC. I was surprised at the overall talent level of the Swiss and was it just me or did Brodeur look below average.

That game was bananas. Hiller played out of his mind. Marty didn't look to be up to his usual Marty-level of playing. But he apparently is going to get the call on Sunday against the USA. Miller and Brodeur usually bring it when they play against each other, so it's bound to be a good game.

And you would think that with the widespread acceptance and use of HDTV, that the figure skaters would learn that setting the makeup gun to whore isn't necessarily needed anymore.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- American halfpipe bronze medalist Scotty Lago volunteered to leave the Olympics on Friday after risque pictures of him showed up on the Internet.

Lago, who was awarded his bronze medal Thursday night, was at a party, wearing a Team USA T-shirt when somebody snapped a photo of a woman kneeling below Lago's waist to kiss his medal. That picture, and another showing him sticking the medal in the woman's mouth while teammate Greg Bretz looks on, appeared Friday on the TMZ Web site
Lago apologized to officials at the U.S. Olympic Committee and the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association and decided to go home.

He seems more humble and contrite this go round compared to Torino...as well he should after that fiasco.

WHISTLER, British Columbia -- Carlo Janka of Switzerland led the first run of the Olympic giant slalom race Tuesday, while Bode Miller skied out in his pursuit of a record fourth Alpine medal.

Janka, the world champion in GS, was timed in 1 minute, 17.27 seconds with a second run to follow in the afternoon.

Miller almost crashed in the top half of the course and then couldn't correct his line coming out of a right-hand gate in the second half.

:p

:laugh: which is why he gets on so well with everyone on the world cup tour, because he's such a blowhard

if he had that union jack hybrid of AUS on his GS outfit you'd be posting on about what a great humanitarian and saintly figure he is :gomer:
