Do You Believe in Minor Technicalities?

USA vs Russia in olympic hockey! Remember how that was a crazy important match-up 34 years ago? Tight. Well it happened again. Russia appeared to take a 3-2 lead when this goal was disallowed due to Jonathan Quick knocking the goal slightly off the PEG.  America went on to win in a shootout. In Soviet Russia goal scores you!  (proud of that one).

Return of the Mac?

The pseudo-tragic tale of Tracy McGrady continues! The 7-time all-star and 2-time scoring champ is undoubtedly one of the best scorers in a generation. Unfortunately his rightful place in the NBA pantheon was stolen by a litany of back and knee injuries. Perhaps the most tragic moment for Mac fans came when he was seconds away from coat-tailing it onto a Spurs championship only to have it poached by a Ray Allen trey. Well the legions Mac fans (looking at you china) can rejoice! He is making a bid as a pitcher! Mac tried out for a minor league bid and apparently was able to clock in around the mid 80s with a fastball. Reasonably decent. If he makes it on the mound his 6'8" frame would definitely be intimidating, you can also tell from the video that he is well on his way to adding all that weight that CC Sabathia lost.

Olympics why not?

That's right Ashley Wagner...it is bull shit. Thus far the US skating team has not been crushing it in Sochi. Apparently this is the first time in years that the US team is not expected to score any medals on the ice. Our best hope seems to lie in this ice dancing duo:

They seem up to the task. No follow up questions. At least we still got snowboarding on lock right? In Soviet Russia ice skates you.
