all sports post

So I am not going to spend much time about it but last weekend was the NBA All-Star game and there were basically two things that stuck out in my mind about all star weekend. The first was that I was frustrated Lebron James didn't enter the dunk competition after originally saying that he would. He has some of the most powerful in-game dunks I just wish he could show us what he could do in a controlled setting for once. The second is the venue in which it was in. I am a big Dallas Cowboys fan but I may be even a bigger fan of their billion dollar stadium. Just imagine how awesome it would have been to be at that game and feel the energy of over 100,000 fans with that gigantic big screen TV that spans from twenty yard line to twenty yard line.

So switching it up now but still staying on sports, the Winter Olympics started this past week. Things quickly took a turn for the worst when a Georgian luger was killed when he clew off the track and hit a unpadded pole at a speed of nearly 90 mph says msnsports.com. They went on to say that neither the Olympic committee or the luge administration would take blame and said it was the luger's fault. I find this to be pretty ridiculous. both organizations are there to ensure the safety of all the athletes and they failed and now they won't even hold themselves accountable.

On a much better note Shaun White took another gold medal for the mens halfpipe with his new trick the 1260 double mctwist. Here is a video to check it out its pretty killer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHUMoFcZgJ0

The USA also leads the medal race with 6 gold medals and 22 total medals. Well thats all for now. I will post about more tomorrow but there has been so much going on with sports lately that I felt i should all just get it out of the way in one blog. Later
