As regular readers should know, my years of living in Kentucky turned me into a UK Basketball fan. I knew the John Wall dance had gotten big, but I didn’t realize it was this big.

Baseball season has started. I ran across this really cool map. It looks like this is from a Nike ad. I’m curious is there is something like this for other sports.

Normally I try to leave the Sports Blogs to other, more qualified people. I’ve been watching this page all day hoping twitter would be the way I found out the news. Of course, the news had to break while I was on the phone so Hamby was the first person to inform me. Here is the buzz from twitter right now:

Pretty cool stuff. Rumor has it Donovan is coming to UK, but only time will tell.

Some NSFW language and I am not sure if this is a joke or what.

With the Super Bowl being played by two teams I don’t care for I went looking for other information about the big game. The Smashing Pumpkins will debut a new song during a Hyundai commercial, Transformers 2, G.I. Joe, Star Trek and Land of the Lost will debut exclusive trailers and of course The Boss will perform at half time. Other than that here are some lists to read through until the game begins.

Most people know I’m a huge Chiefs fan. Obviously they are not doing very well this season and I will leave it at that.

This test will take 3 minutes. Once you click here it will begin. Instructions are simple and are at the top of the page. My first attempt was 22/32, I thought I would do a lot better.

• What happened when Bush and Bill Gates met at the Olympics
• Not even China is safe from the Blue Screen of Death
• Spanish Basketball Team making inappropriate gestures
• Bush’s antics as a spectator
• Russians still destroying Georgia while the world watches the Olympics

Hopefully most of you saw the Opening Ceremonies and read Gate’s hilarious post about the subject. If you are like me and you missed them, then here is a recap in pictures.

Unfortunately not everything went perfectly. North and South Korea did not march in together like they have done in the past and Russia invaded the country of Georgia leaving thousands dead.

Normally I try not to post stuff like this, but it was just too funny to pass up.

Finally, here is a list of all of the events and when they will take place.

Discuss: If anyone has good video of the opening ceremonies, post it in the comments please.
