Anyway check out HBO in a couple weeks for the definitive Olympic Games...Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08373633924087193092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16217666.post-1140195158121777662006-02-17T08:52:00.000-08:002006-02-17T08:52:00.000-08:00I can see your love has gone.

I said before that compelling sports needs rivals. The US and USSR in various events made for amazing theater at times. It was up there with Ali-Frazier, Russell-Chamberlian, and Borg-McEnroe as matchups that when they happened you had to pay attention, especially with national pride at stake. <BR/><BR/>Now, in hockey, you have NHL players on all sides. Teammates during the season are on different teams. How can I expect someone to go hard after a puck if their Flyer teammate, and the leading goal scorer for the team, is going after it as well? Would you check Simon Gagne from Canada into the boards if you were a Flyer playing for USA? I don't think so. It's a crock. <BR/><BR/>I haven't watched one bit yet. I may watch once the hockey medals start. And people like Bode Miller, who act like he doesn't give a rats ass when a million others would love to be in his shoes, piss me off. The Olympic spirit died years ago. And it's a shame.The Revhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04573551553863558468noreply@blogger.com
