Another particularly informative read about the Sochi Olympics in particular, and Russia in general:

Absolutely epic hockey game btw USA & Russia.  USA wins it in the 8th round of the shootout.

TJ Oshie carried the US on his back there. 4 shootout goals.

Just absolutely full of drama. Huge no goal call against the Russians in the 3rd. 

This is why I love sports.

Epic is right.

I was jumping up/down and yelling so loud during that shootout that my throat still hurts.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

i love the summer olympics and want to love the winter games, but i just struggle to do so.  i respect the athletes and their sports, but i just cant get into it or watch for more than like 20 minutes at a time
