Ice Bowl is one for the ages: The consensus about the Ice Bowl, aka the AMP Energy NHL Winter Classic? It was cool.

I've been in Tim Hortons a few times during my time in Columbus, OH, however since I do not drink coffee, I managed to escape their promotions.

My favourite part of RUTR is when someone buys 9 coffees in a row, hasn't won, and then claims "I should have won by now!".
How much time do you guys spend in Tim Horton's??

Didn't Disney make a movie like this?

Thanks, bperk, I think you have carried along at least some of what I was trying to or wanted to say. I'm not a woman, but I think I would be offended if someone wanted to assert that the high water mark in women's athletics was a woman winning a bowling tournament. Great moment for her--sure, but greatest moment for women--not so much. I also wasn't sure which accomplishments to place at the top, but I think the 1999 World Cup is a solid example.

This is the equivalent of "Man Gives Birth!"
So it belongs on the front page of a supermarket tabloid?
After reading that synopsis, I perused the article expecting it to be a string of jokes, but it appears to be serious. Look this is a great accomplishment for her as a person (or at least I assume it is--I've never heard of this event before) and she certainly deserved to be proud of it, but to assert that this is "The greatest moment in women's sports" is absurd.
Bowling barely cracks the long list of mainstream sports, and I fail to see how men enjoy any significant advantage over women that a woman winning a major bowling event is significant on a gender level.

Anyone know if it will be possible to watch today's USA-Finland hockey game on the interweb?

I agree with live. I like live. However, the 2014 games (the first one ESPN is going after) are in Sochi, Russia, which is 8 hours ahead of the east coast and 11 hours ahead of the west coast. Even the latest events will only just be ending in mid-afternoon on the east coast and noon out west. ESPN has picked a tough spot to plant their 'live' flag. If they want to have any substantial audience at all, they're either going to have to air live and reair in the evening or tape delay.

@ owlhouse
Alright, I'd go see that.

How many banks "crawling with security" have been robbed and customers threatened/shot? How many attacks have occurred inside of police stations crawling with armed officers?
That might be a fair comparison if they only allowed bank employees into the bank. As for police stations, how many attacks have there been? I haven't heard of any.

Oh, and it's that time of year again. Go the Uppers!
I read the description and watched the videos, but I still don't get it. It appears to be a mass of people milling around and a ball that occasionally pops out with people chasing it. The description was somewhat amusing, though. Do you have anything more on this?

I'm with bperk and cjets. Of course it was prepared and rehearsed, but what was he supposed to do, find a random cameraman on the street and spontaneously pour his heart out? He doesn't owe me anything. He apologized to the kids and the parents and said he's trying to make it up to his wife and family. The apology is plenty, and what happens from here forward in the Woods household is their business.

What?! They didn't use Zambonis? Well there's your problem right there. I didn't even know there was another manufacturer.

I'm sure this has been reported a lot (presumably in the Canadian press in particular), but I was not aware that no Canadian won gold at Calgary. Did anyone come close?
I wasn't aware either until I heard it 12 million times since Friday. Good for Canada, but I can only hope that I don't have to hear about it anymore.

SportsFilter: The Wednesday Huddle
I'm having trouble finding a link to show it, but Ohio State students saluted Buckeye blogger Mark Titus with 'Club Tril' shirts and inflatable sharks at senior night en route to a 73-57 romp over the Illini and at least a share of the Big Ten title. The Shark rewarded them with a trillion in his final home game. Three other Buckeyes (and one Illinus) also joined in on the trillion fun!
