The Drive:
The newsroom was gearing up for the women’s figure skating long program and the comment was made…“probably going to be some tears tonight in here…”. It made me think—why is this event so tied to emotional responses? Is it the all or nothing feel to each jump, the music, or the background info they feed to you so you feel linked to the backstory of these skaters? Or…is it that this event is so linked with America’s past history in the winter olympics…where frankly…the nordic combined is not? What I know is that you can’t help but get sucked into it. Even if you have no rooting interest, you end up pulling for somebody—don’t you?
The Fairway:
Radford Hoops is making another run at the Big South Championship—the likely two or three seed, they’ve handled Coastal Carolina already once this year, and they lost by one point to them in the return visit—so I don’t see a huge roadblock for them. This is pretty much the same team that was NCAA bound a year ago. Our own Highlander, Chris Whitley, is on the case. If you need your Radford fix, stay tuned. He will keep you—and all of us—posted!
The Green:
OK—Tony..you can’t tell Hannah Storm her top is so tight it looks like she’s wrapped herself in sausage casings…or something of the sort. And you can’t say it with a microphone on! Kornheiser is the Pardon the Interruption co-host and has his own DC radio show. ESPN suspended him from their air for two weeks, while Storm has not commented. Tony has reportedly apologized to her. But commenting on women’s clothing—-ANY women’s clothing…in any walk of life…should come with one of those signs you see before you get on a really fast roller coaster.
The Jar:
Yoga? Really? We’ll see.
