The 2006 Winter Olympics are happening right now in Torino, Italy. Today was the first day I actually sat down next to the TV and watched some of the coverage. The hockey game was on, in which Canada lost to Finland 2-0. Coverage of the hockey game is pretty good, the olympic format doesn’t have [...]
