Rickey Henderson still loves the olympics
Has anyone else been watching the US women's alpine team? They keep coming down the hill with these hilarious little accesories--fake pearls necklaces, tiaras, tiger ears attached to their helmets. They aren't overstated and the crowd doesn't know. it is clear they are just having fun. And the ski commentators keep busting thier chops for it with statments like "that just disrespects the sport of skiing." and "They need the results to back up stunts like that." I salute you, US team, for having the courage to have some fun for yourselves, and not in a way that places you above the event or brings you a lot of attention. That is what the olympics should be about. and they even got a gold medal in GS out of it. nice job, Julie.

Congrats to the US men's curling team for the first US curling medal ever. Believe it or not, the men's captain is from Bemiji, MN as well, killing the dream that Bemiji is only populated by hot female curlers.
I wonder how much the cat ears add wind resistence. Hey, as a gimmick, it beats skiing drunk.

This disproves my theory that Olympic Athletes never "have fun out there". I thought that was just something that announcers said. How on earth could Sasha Cohen have some haha fun during the four minute jumping footwork-fest that is the long program?
