Sochi Olympics 2014

The problem with that is then we are stuck with our amateurs playing against the other countries' professionals, as it was before.

All the sweeter when you beat them...

I can't stand Canadians. They have the little brother syndrome, continually cut down Americans for being boastful about sports yet are exactly the same when it comes to hockey.

Did I say otherwise? Back to your cave hippie.

Nice try at backtracking.

This has been a sucky Olympics. It happens.

Nice try at backtracking.

Point out where I said HuffPo was the only one doing it....I dare you.

USA 1 (Steve Holcomb) is third in four-man bobsled heading into the final run.

USA 1 wins bronze in four-man bobsled, behind Russia and Latvia.

Ignoring the fact it's Russia's home track (4x-5x number of runs), I have to keep reminding myself USA isn't exactly dominate in bobsled (in Olympic history). But it could be worse. Germany didn't medal in any bobsled event.

Just read that Nicklas Backstrom wasn't allowed to play in the gold medal game because he tested positive for a banned...allergy medication. CBC says he took Claritin D.

That sounds about right for the IOC. Judging in figure skating is (allegedly) crooked as can be, Claritin D will get you banned.

Great win over Russia by the U.S. Ice Sledge Hockey Team for the gold medal.

Nice to end the Olympic and Paralympics on a good note.
