Issue number three: OLYMPICS

Canadian pair gets screwed out of gold medal. Everyone who's surprised raise your hand.

A co-worked summed it up best when he noted that figure skating is to the Winter Games what boxing is to the Summer Games. Someone has to get screwed.

Then again, a screw job may be what it'll take for this guy to win gold.

Americans sweep men's halfpipe. Isn't that what they all share after the event?

Picks for tonight: Germany v. Latvia in hockey (CNBC, 9 PM) to see who goes on to the elimination round, men's 500 meter speed skating (starts 3 PM EST, but will air on NBC prime time at some point today), and men's figure skating short program (also lumped in to prime time coverage).

And props to the US men's curling team for their 10-5 takedown of Sweden.
