First of all, welcome, battery chuckers from Niners Nation and thanks again to Ninjames for the attention. I awoke to glorious news today, friends. The men of U.S. curling rode the momentum of yesterday's win for another last end victory today over Sweden. The women go at 2:00 PM PST against Great Britain. Today's links; six broken ribs plus one punctured lung equal one bronze medal, Canada promised to own the podium, but the U.S. is doing a lot of squatting, Scotty Lago has fled Vancouver because of racy pics, a video on how to sweep ice, and catching up with Michael Phelps.
- Storybook finish hurts
Majdic, 30, won the fifth Olympic Winter Games medal in Slovenia's history on Wednesday -- a bronze -- in the women's sprint final. She would have been one of the favourites in today's pursuit race, but six broken ribs and a punctured lung will force her to remain under care in a Vancouver hospital. - America's Surprise Vancouver Olympics Rout - WSJ.com
Canada's own the podium plan is falling short so far as the U.S. dominates, but 60% of medals remain to be awarded. It might not last, warns a rival coach. - Scotty Lago Racy Pics Controversy (See PICTURES) | Bitten and Bound
Olympic snowboarder Scotty Lago is packing up his bronze medal and leaving Vancouver after racy pictures surfaced online. See PHOTOS - Video | How to: Sweep ice | NBC Olympics
Why do curlers slave away with a little broom in front of a sliding piece of granite? What are they yelling to each other? How much does it cost to become a sweeper? Those answers and more in this video. - Vancouver visit inspires Phelps ahead of London 2012 | Reuters
A flying visit to the Winter Olympics has provided Michael Phelps with fresh inspiration to stay ahead of his younger rivals in the build-up to the 2012 Summer Games in London.

I've been watching curling but I think I'm behind the broadcast
That women’s curling between Canada and Denmark was really good last night. Went into overtime.
Saw that one
It was a nail biter, for sure.

when you're an olympic curler...
do you get broom sponsors? like wouldn’t swiffer be a natural sponsor? do the olympians think such a thing is beneath them or do they already do that kind of stuff?
The U.S. chicks lost 5-4 :(
The Eve Muirhead is a femme fatale.

Anyone remember the T.V. Guide channel? Well they still have it, and they’re showing something called Survivor Millionaires: Where Are They Now? Kind of like a lame version of Cribs.

Apollo Ohno has a good move with the bandana
I have a real big forehead too and he’s found the perfect thing to distract from that.
Apollo's post race interview
Jeez. This guy’s full of himself.
“If I hadn’t made that slip… But there’s no if’s ands…”
But you just said “if”, Mr. Ego.
The Koreans hate him so much

What he was really trying to say was
“If that Canadian hadn’t grabbed my ass which caused me to slip…”
That’s why he really held his tongue there.
I'm the first person to admit that I'm wrong about a lot of things, but I'm going to be the last person to admit I'm wrong about what we're currently talking about.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Yeah, I guess I was wrong
He claims to have not known that he was pushed.
