Enough nostalgia for this morning. I'm loving the Olympics.


I'm living in a haze from staying up so late, every night.

I saw Crosby score the tiebreaker; I saw Nash, too. Where were Stills and Young? I like these guys...amateur hockey players... make their living by singing and play hockey after work. Very old-fashioned. Avery Brundage would be proud.

It is only the NHL that sends pros to the Olympics. Every single Olympic athlete is now a pro, gets paid by sponsors, gets prize money from competition and often the gov't. There are no Olympic amateurs. Not that I disagree with your sentiment, but I doubt they're going to unravel the whole thing.
