Shaun White. 'Nuff said.

Shaun White (snowboarder) withdraws from Slopestyle Course - too dangerous

White cited continuing concerns about the course in his reason to preserve himself for the halfpipe. As is custom with most snowboarding events, riders met with course officials after testing it out.

White was the only American to even attempt to make both teams and struggled with injuries throughout qualifying for the U.S team. A sprained ankle he suffered in the halfpipe forced him to pull out of the first slopestyle qualifier

"With the practice runs I have taken, even after course modifications and watching fellow athletes get hurt, the potential risk of injury is a bit too much for me to gamble my other Olympics goals on," White said in his statement.

The athletes really can't concern themselves with any of that. If they do, that's when injuries happen. They have to trust that there is enough security to keep everyone safe. And besides, the terrorists want the athletes to be scared - it's their M.O. They were hoping that they'd scare people enough to cancel the games, but that obviously didn't work. It doesn't mean they still won't try something, but still...just like those of us here in the States, life does go on.

I think it has more to do with enjoying the outdoors. I lived 12 years in Sweden and have friends in Norway….they spend very little time in front of a TV and computer. As for cold, the winters are harsher here in Colorado than Norway or Sweden, except in the very northern parts of the countries…and most folks live central to southern.

I stand corrected then, though I did figure they love the outdoors. We used to love the outdoors here in 'Merica, but McDonald's and reality TV ruined that. I'd throw video games in there, but we had Atari and Nintendo in the 1980s and we still spent a lot more time outdoors than we do today.

Things have surely changed, Eric. My wife is an R.N. in pediatrics and she has found a steady increase of TV/computer time in children from 2 years old to teens. Children 2-4 years old are in front of the screen 2-4 hours a day. It increases from ages 4-10 to 4-8 hours a day and goes even higher in the teens. When my wife asks children what they would like to do more of, they say "to play outside more". It seems the parents are a big part of the problem.

Finland upsets Russia, 3-1. The Russians showed absolutely no chemistry throughout the tournament, and even more so today. Malkin was just brutal. He'd better keep that shit over there, because the Pens can't have him floating and flopping around like a fish.

Maatta, on the other hand, was just studly. Best defenseman on the ice by far...and he's only 19. Give him a long-term deal right now.

Russian Olympic Hockey Coach: 'Eat Me Alive Right Now'

In a scrum with Russian reporters after the news conference:

Q: You said that the analysis will come later. But what mistakes can you talk about now?

A: There were individual mistakes. That's why we couldn't affect the result even though we had twice as many chances as the opponents. We just couldn't score.

Q: What future, if any, do you see for your own work and for your coaching staff? Because, you know, your predecessor was eaten alive after the Olympics—

A: Well then, eat me alive right now—

Q: No, I mean—

A: Eat me, and I won't be here anymore.

Q: But we have the world championship coming up!

A: Well then, there will be a different coach because I won't exist any more, since you will have eaten me.

Q: But you're staying, aren't you?

A: Yes, I will remain living.

I'm not surprised to read this, because both Malkin and Ovechkin played with little to no passion. Both of them looked really unhappy being there. Hopefully Geno channels that anger into strong play for the Pens down the stretch.

In other news...USA beats the Czechs 5-2 and Canada barely squeaks by Latvia 2-1, setting up a rematch of the 2010 Olympic gold medal game, with the winner meeting Sweden/Finland for the gold.

You may as well delete that picture, because once again, Dan Bylsma proves that he isn't worth a fuck as a head coach. Yeah, the Canadians were the better and more talented team from top to bottom, but to not even manage a goal and be completely dominated like the Americans were was vintage Bylsma. Doesn't get shit done when the games matter the most. I swear I thought I was watching one of the playoff games against the Bruins from last season. Should have given the job to Phil Housley instead.
