At first I was astonished to hear the outcry over the members of the women's Canadian Hockey team having the audacity to celebrate on ice with beer & cigars? Then I realized what a hypocritcal, anal, self righteous moronic society we've created. The surprise quickly vanished. Obviously my opinion that it was no big deal was cemented when I heard Skip Bayles, one of the biggest idiots in the history of history say he was put off by their actions. We saw an athlete die in these games & we're worried about beer. Anyone who uses the term "Olympic Ideal" should be sadistically beaten about the face & neck with a wet noodle. For decades Eastern Bloc countries used their athletes as human guinea pigs. America flushed that down the drain when we began sending our pro's in the form of a Dream Team to Barcelona in 1992. The NHL started shutting down every 4 years since 1998 to send the best players on the planet to take part in the Winter games. Who is kidding who?
I know it's not the most macho of sports to admit liking, but the performance of South Korean Kim Yu-na in winning the gold last night was nothing short of dazzling. She is an amazing athlete and a sensational performer. I will actually use the word "breathtaking". If I met her, I'd drop to my knees and kiss her feet. Goosebump City!
Nice outing by the Oregon men to get a much needed win at USC. Showed some grit and played dynomite defense. The Duck women lost a killer at home to SC. A victory would have been a huge step in impressing the selection committe for an at large bid. The Trojans were 37th in the power rankings, but opportunity knocks again tomorrow afternoon with #25 UCLA in town. A win followed by a successful season ending road trip to the Washington schools would likely punch their ticket. Okay, I have a couple of $25 certificates to Mekala's Thai Restaurant in Eugene to give away. E-mail the correct answer to stevetannen@live.com to get in this afternoon's drawing.
When was the last time the Oregon Women were in the NCAA Tournament and what was the result of their final game? Good Luck!

Kyle,
Dude get a grip. I have seen your type before, you are generally enamored by seeing and hearing your own words.
You probably went over your rant with a fine comb, before finally pressing that publish button, upon which you sat and stewed thinking what could I have done better.
Relax. Try not to take too much time each day stewing in the presence of your own glory.
Build your own platform with which to speak from.
