Good for him, very courageous move on his part given the timing. This survey of anonymous NFL front office people isn't very positive to say the least. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/college-f...am-draft-stock/

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Feb 9, 2014 -> 06:09 PM) When you attend your first sporting event you are going to be horrified. Duke fans chanted "wheres your daddy?" to Steve Kerr after Kerr's dad passed away. Telling a 20 year old he's a piece of crap is stupid, but Orr apologized to him right after he said it. I have Bears season tickets in the far reaches of the upper deck, I am fully aware that sports fans are assholes. That doesn't mean I have to like it. I don't see how a horrific chant 20 years ago justifies this incident. When a college athlete falls in the crowd, I don't see why a grown man should be unprovokedly insulting him to his face, but I guess I'm just a prude.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Feb 9, 2014 -> 05:47 PM) lol, lets not get carried away. let's not cast this guy as an awful person because he got carried away but calling someone a piece of s***. No, I stand by what I said. You are a 40 year old "superfan" at a college sporting event and an opposing athlete ends up in the crowd, so you call him a piece of crap? Yeah, you suck at life and should be banned from attending games for a while. IMO he comes off looking much worse than Smart.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 9, 2014 -> 05:22 PM) So video came out. Smart was called a "piece of crap". So much for that. What an idiot. So Orr is not a racist, just an awful human being.

Poland with a gold medal!

It's very weird how the ski jump hill has a track for the skiis, as opposed to skiing down a snowy hill and jumping.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 9, 2014 -> 09:31 AM) He deserved a nice punch to the face. Fans think they can say and do anything since they have a nice barrier between them and players "can't" do anything. Not much will happen to this guy. Money talks. They aren't going to ban this guy or anything. Agreed. In an "amateur" competition involving "student"-athletes, somehow the fan is given the benefit of the doubt because he paid for a ticket? Not that this behavior would be OK at a NBA game, but it's a grown man yelling God knows what in a teenager's face.

McGary and Smart are poster childs for why you should always go pro when you have the chance. I'd like to hear what the fan said before I throw the book at Smart. I'm sure these players hear awful stuff all the time, but rarely is it by someone standing face to face with you in the heat of the moment.

Max Pacioretty (USA Hockey) went down with back spasms today. He is traveling to Sochi tomorrow, but isn't sure if he will be able to play next weekend. Don't make any serious plans Brandon Saad. Or I wonder if the Bobby Ryan relationship is repairable.

The biathalon is kind of awesome. That skiing has to use so much energy, then you have to calm down and shoot a rifle. The Gus Johnson-esque announcer helps too.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 8, 2014 -> 04:51 PM) Solid game for Melvin Ejim 71.1 Fanduel points! Of course I didn't roster him

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Feb 7, 2014 -> 11:19 PM) SANTANA IS A MEDIOCRE RECEIVER AT BEST. He was better than medicore at his prime, but at this age I agree 100% about Moss.

Such mixed emotions from that pic!

The history of Russia presentation pretty much skipped the entire 20th century.

Those poor people in the snowball/ marshmallow costumes, dancing in place for like 45 minutes straight. Kind of wish NBC kept one camera just on them the whole time

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 7, 2014 -> 04:46 PM) Wow. I am shocked to be honest. I think he's worried about losing the rest of his contract. Better to sit back quietly and hope they still pay you the money due for 2015 and on.

Lady who lit Olympic torch tweeted a racist picture of the Obamas

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 7, 2014 -> 12:53 PM) MSNBC (video) Maybe it was just a disgruntled athlete who just missed qualifying for the Olympics?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 7, 2014 -> 11:32 AM) Whoa Pittsburgh Penguins ‏@penguins 57m NEWS ALERT: Penguins defenseman Kris Letang will miss at least six weeks after having a stroke last week http://pens.pe/1jkmxmE That's so crazy, at such a young age in such good physical shape. Good that he should make a full recovery.

The Bears do something very similar. If you pay for your full season ticket package in February instead of waiting until April, they have daily contest giveaways of a whole bunch of free swag.

Packers hire Ron Zook as OLB coach.

This morning when I went to the gym my phone said -5 degrees outside. All I thought was "That's not too bad, it could be worse". That's how f***ing cold this winter has been.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Feb 7, 2014 -> 08:44 AM) Mogul skiing looks brutal. As a child skiier, the first time I found a mogul run, I thought they were all little jumps and that you just kept catching air all the way down. That was quite the run.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 7, 2014 -> 08:00 AM) You can at least watch The Big Bang Theory, and some are really good IMO. I don't know how anyone gets through an episode of How I Met Your Mother. I tried to watch it, and tried to like it, but it is turrble. I've seen parts of Big Bang Theory and I've yet to laugh once. But if you want to see really awful CBS comedy, watch 2 Broke Girls. I forget to change the channel after HIMYM sometimes, wow. It's 25 minutes of being as raunchy as possible with zero comedic value.

Before these Olympics, did you ever expect to hear Bob Costas say "p**** Riot"?
