Cheers: To the Winter Olympics. Now you might say the Winter Olympics in Torino (pronounced toe-rei-no) isn’t that exciting but I beg to differ. I mean the skeleton alone is one of the coolest sports ever. How else can you describe an activity in which a person flings themselves headfirst at speeds that if everything does not go perfectly they will die? Plus unlike NASCAR they don’t have wimpy things like seat belts. I want to see if Bodi Miller can have the best athletic performance while drunk since the Mick. I want to see Norway actually win at something. I want to scream “USA” as the red, white, blue beats the hell of some former communist country that doesn’t even have electricity. Oh yes I will cheer for the Winter Olympics.

Jeers: To those still complaining about the Super Bowl. Seattle didn’t deserve to win. Ravens v. Giants was the all time least exciting game. Stop the whining. The only complaining about refs should focus on the ACC giving all the calls to Duke.

Jeers: To Dicky V’s slurping of Duke. Why does he do it? Nobody likes Duke. They’re soft. They don’t have a bench. I heard Coach K encourages his players to hunt hobos on days off. But on a nearly daily basis Vitale’s chin is being dusted for JJ Redick’s ball prints. Can anybody please explain his obsession?

Cheers: To the count down to Pitchers and Catchers

Jeers: To the SEC. I remember a day not so long ago when the SEC was considered a powerhouse in basketball. You know when Florida is your standard bearer you have issues. I mean porn stars working with Peter North don’t choke that much.

Cheers and Jeers: To a bitter sweet possible final episode of Arrested Development. Unfortunately FOX is axing one of the funniest shows on TV. If you haven’t seen it before, I give it the Mighty seal of approval, so you know it’s good.
