Olympic Rant

I watched a lot of Olympics with Carrie and Trish this weekend. I enjoy the Olympics though I have to say, that I care little for Men's Olympic Hockey. I wonder, what exactly is the difference between Men's Olympic Hockey and the NHL, or the All Star game? The Majority of the players are NHL. We see them all the time as it is. Or at least in theory considering ESPN would rather air that fast-paced sport of poker instead of hockey. Yes, people say the Olympic version of the game looks more European, moves faster, is more interesting; but if it's a faster more interesting game, watch women's hockey. Though good luck finding more than just the highlights broadcast in this country. Women's hockey relies on speed and passing combinations rarely seen in its more physical, lumbering, male counterpart. Don't get me wrong, I love hockey, but in the realm of an amateur competition, I would rather watch actual amateurs and not multi-million dollar professionals.

As a side note, there's been a lot of talk about Team Canada pulling my baby, Martin Brodeur, and replacing him with Roberto Luongo after last night's loss to Team USA. By all means, give Luongo a shot, but Coach Babcock, when's the last time you've seen Martin Brodeur routed two times in a row? God, I hate how underrated he is!

Helpful Holiday Hints

As the craziness of the holidays rises to a fever pitch, I thought I would give you all a few last minute gift giving ideas if you haven't yet found me the perfect holiday hint.



A scooter...Vespa, Buddy, whatever, as long as it's adorable.






A hockey team. Preferably the New Jersey Devils, but since they aren't for sale and the Phoenix Coyotes are, I guess they will do.








Joel McHale.

Vengeance Will be Mine



Oh how I do love Boston...let me count the ways. The only thing that could make me happier is a four game sweep. Die Carolina, die!
