Cross Country Checkup No air time, no style points, and gravity is not your ally. If you're a fan of the X-Games, this might not be for you. But if you want to see some of the world's fittest athletes go head-to-head on skis, head on out to Prageleto, site of the cross country skiing for 2006.

How about a Men's Olympic Hockey pool. The schedule is set and we know the teams playing. I learned a new system that might work well with this tournament. Details inside.

Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ... Robert Kraft's on the phone During a recent meeting between American business leaders and Russian president Vladmir Putin, Putin pocketed Kraft's 2005 Super Bowl ring. Did Kraft mean for Putin to have it? Did Putin think it was a gift? And how does ask a president for a ring back? Bling bling inside.

He doesn't need more than one ring, though, does he? I mean, really.

I wish they would show more of the race. I think cross-country skiing is difficult to watch because of how they televise it. You see two points: the start and the finish. You gain no perspective of how hard the athletes are working other than watching all of them collapse at the finish line (as I saw on many highlight reels today). That being said, I cross-country ski myself, so I know it's difficult. So why isn't it watchable? Why is it less compelling than other race sports (e.g., long-track speed skating)?
