He reminds me of the Jamaican Bobsled Team during the 1988 Winter Olympics that were held in Calgary. It was neat to follow their valiant efforts.

Could just as easily have been 32-0, if the girls had bothered to put their newspapers down. God, they looked bored. I hope they don't take that complacency with them into the game tomorrow.

Indeed they did looked bored, but it was a good practice run for the girls because they face the russians tomorrow!
