I can't wait for the olympics! This is gonna rock. Canada's men start their quest for hockey gold one week from today. Plus I'll be getting my fill of all those great sports that I only watch every 2 years. Bobsleding, snowboarding, mogul...ing what do you call a moguler anyway? And of course the cross country pursuit, which is being defended by Canada's own Beckie Scott. She was asked to carry the Canadaian flag at the opening ceremony on friday, but she declined, and Don Cherry ripped into her. This was like two weeks ago, but I've been sitting on it til the olympics got closer (okay thats a lie, I've just been procrastinating). Her reason for turning it down was that her event is two days after the ceremony and she didn't want any distractions. Seems reasonable to me. I'll admit I'm biased because Beckie Scott is my favorite Canadian olympian, but if someone has trained for 4 years for a single event I think I'd cut them some slack.
The best part about these olympics is that because they are being held in Italy the time difference puts all the events on live between 3am and 3pm our time. Fortunatley the earliest a hockey game is on is 7am. Thats doable. But if I want to watch Beckie Scott live (which I do) its gonna be a 4am wake-up call, or more likely just me staying up til then. Who needs a regulated sleep patern anyway, right?
Benjie Molina signed on to catch for the Blue Jays, just another upgrade on the old Jays comming up towards the new season. Seriously if you're not starting to get excited I might have to punch some excitment into your face, Jack Bauer style (Steve I'm looking in your direction). If you are starting to get excited and are thinking about how kickassawsome it would be to participate in a fantasy baseball pool this year, I think by now you know who to 'holla' at.
Guess who is back in Raptor land? Antonio Davis! I find this amusing to no end. Davis was probably the most hated ex-Raptor not named Vince. I don't even remember the details about him leaving, but it was something along the lines of demanding a trade because he wanted his kids out of the country before we got them all head-fucked with out Canadian ways. Oooooooh the metric system is comming to get you! Anyway the Raps traded Jalen Rose to get him back in what is nothing more than a money dump to get some breathing room with the salary cap. Man, I would've paid good money to see the reaction he had when he got the news.
Knicks: Uh, hey Antontio, sorry to tell you but you've been traded. Antonio: Ok, no problem this team is fucked anyway. So where am I headed? Knicks: Well there is good news and bad news, which do you want first? Antonio: Gimme the good. Knicks: The good news is that you don't have far to move. Antonio: And the bad? Knicks: You're going to Toronto. Antonio: ...hahaha oh shit, you guys got me good. I thought you were serious there for a second. "You're going to Toronto", haha aight guys I'll seeya tomorrow. Wait, why arn't you laughing? Knicks: *slowly backing away*

This Becki Scott... does she have any interest in being naked on the internet?
I dunno about this Tanith Belbin character, but Beckie Scott and the rest of the female Canadian ski team made an 'artistic' nude calendar before the last olympics to raise money for training and such.
