NCAA lacrosse started over the weekend. Albany stayed very close to Johns Hopkins, losing 10-8.

Albany's goalie, Brett Queener scored a goal. I had never seen that before and the announcers said that it hadn't happened since 1995.

If you like like colllege lacrosse, you need to get ESPNU and CSTV.

Sweden won the gold medal in hockey by beating Finland 3-2. It was a good game but not great. I think the reason they won is because they brought out what looks like the old Buffalo Sabres uniforms from the 1970's.

Old time hockey!

Somehow, Canada lost to Russia 2-0 in the quarter-finals of the Olympic tournament.

Shocking.

Changing subjects, NBC has managed to ruin the curling curiosity factor by pounding us over the head with it on CNBC and elsewhere.

This is almost as dumb as the attempt to sell events in a pay-per-view format for the Barcelona games in 1992.

I found this picture on the Forbes website. There are many more people in this picture than in my entire town. This picture is amazing.

I had the chance to watch the first couple of episodes of Deadwood on DVD.

The actor that played Jack McCall in season one is the same guy that palyed Walcott in season two.

I can't believe I didn't notice before.

Did you hear about this? Grant Bowman works at Lehman Brothers (I worked at this firm a long time ago) but used to be a professional football player. He got cut by the Steelers last summer. They called him back after they beat Denver because of injuries to other players.

I don't know if he got into the game but he got to dress for it and will get a Super Bowl ring. He said in an interview that we will be back on the desk tomorrow morning.

My wife brought this movie home the other day. I actually saw this in the theater in 1977. It is hysterical but inappropriate for almost everyone.
