Olympics, NBA Trade Deadline, And Tiger

Speed skating short track is so much more impressive than the distance skating. Even the longest distances on the short track are exciting. The jump at the gun is such an adrenaline-filled philosophical event - in 5 seconds.

Apollo Ohno just had an incredible race. But every race is a good race - and they're going at it 4 on 4. Lanes? Ehh...



The Cavs got Antawn Jamison from Washington. Serious help not named Stoudemire for King LBJ. Caron Butler was sent to Dallas, too. With Gilbert Arenas in at least a years-worth of serious legal trouble ahead of him, the Washington Wizards are now officially in rebuilding mode. Overstatement of the year, and it's only mid-February.

Dallas will continue to push the top teams in the West. Cleveland will continue on their way to a certain series for the finals. It won't be as easy as they think, though.




Pay attention Friday at 10am Central time. Tiger's gonna "break his silence".

That's in quotes because it's going to be so different than everyone expects. The media's claiming "select media" and "no questions allowed". Are you kidding me? Tiger can do nothing better for himself now than to make himself available to whoever wants to be present, and for whatever questions may exist. A limit? Of course... reasonable, like an hour.

Surely by now being the person that he is, he will have gone over this in his head a thousand times, and should be overly prepared. If he implies in any way that he still "owns" that aura he had before in his interviews, he's sadly mistaken.

My streak is at 11 right now..
