Was it our imagination or was that the lamest, most incomprehensible opening ceremony in Olympic history? My kids and I were laughing hysterically at all the people squirming in spandex and clumping around on gigantic skis.

Breaking News from AP: Michelle Kwan may pull out of the Olympics because of a sore groin. Apparently the long flight and marching in the opening ceremonies reaggravated her injury.

Kwan says she may withdraw if not healthy

AP seems to have really good coverage of the Olympics. The local Salt Lake City newspaper is linking to it. AP coverage of Winter Olympics

Watch for the Italian in the last race. He managed to go from 6th or 7th in the earlier laps to 3rd in the last.

The Luge has the most awesome wrecks. Kind of like watching stock car racing without the roll cages...

I'll be watching on NBC. I no longer have cable, so it's good NBC is covering it from 3 PM to closing (1130 PM or 1230 AM), minus an hour for evening news.
