Sports Musings

This is the worst time of year for sports. It's right after the Super Bowl so football has officially ended. March Madness hasn't started yet and baseball is far from starting. Tiger Woods is indefinitely gone from golf so the sport holds zero interest for me. That means the only big pro sport going on is the NBA. Whoopty-do, let's celebrate guys whipping out guns in the locker room and boring games filled with guys trying to go 1 on 5 on offense.

The Winter Olympics are coming up soon. Excitement level so-so. I'm psyched for the snowboard cross and newly added ski cross. They're basically a race between 5 or 6 snowboards or skiers down an icy course filled with jumps. Snowboard cross is sick because normally there's lots of big wipeouts and the idea is so simple.

I've been hearing that the weather has been really warm in Vancouver and it's been giving Olympic officials trouble. Vancouver's had its warmest January ever and snow has been shipped and flew in.

The Warriors won yesterday against the lowly Clippers and rookie Steph Curry was on fire shooting and posted a triple double. But with Monta Ellis out, the future looks bleak. Before last night's win the Warriors had lost 9 straight and I don't see things getting much better after losing their star player for maybe the whole season. But who knows, maybe the Warriors will play more unselfishly and better team basketball as a whole in #8's absence.
