Did everyone see that Wednesday night? Seriously, did you see how Canada completely dismantled a very talented group of Russian hockey players?
At some point during Canada's 7-3 win, did you ever think what the score would have been against Team USA if the Canadians played with the same mix of ...

The 2010 Vancouver Olympics have surprised me in more ways than one. The action has been entertaining despite NBC's tedious coverage (do we really need commercial breaks after every two ski runs?), the fact that I don't understand the scoring systems for half the sports and the interminable alpine delays ...

While the United States continues to dominate the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, everyone paused yesterday so the host nation could play a little hockey against its neighbor to the south. It was lovely of the Canadians to allow the Americans on the ice and show us how to play ...

Sadly, one of the best stories in Olympic history won't have another chapter written this winter. The Jamaican bobsled team has failed to qualify for this month's Olympics.
For the last few weeks, the Jamaicans had been hoping that a spot would open in the field. But the list of nations ...

I know hockey is a niche sport. But if you can’t get excited about Olympic hockey, then I question your sports fandom. It's the best Olympic team sport out there. Far superior to basketball, which is basically a three-team tournament (and that's only a new occurrence).
On paper, the United States ...

I mean sure, the 100 meters world record is what gets you the title of "world's fastest man," but the 200 meters is real GD speed, and this video, friends, is as real as it gets. I bet he's on steroids. That's right, I said it. Now put me on ...

For those of you who shake your head and mumble to yourself every time I put up a hockey post, well, too f**king bad. I enjoy being the lone hockey voice 'round here.

Is it just me or is Michael Phelps everywhere right now?
Sure, we got to see a good deal of him right after the Olympics. There are the Guitar Hero and Rosetta Stone commercials, but like any non-basketball Olympian should do, he seemed to drift into the background a little.
