Silver and Gold and LeBrons

Chances are your man isn't losing sleep over Olympic figure skating, but does our every move have to be dictated by the love interest of a man?

Yes.

Then on to a rough and tumble sport we go--hockey.  The Canadian women's team outplayed the U.S. to win gold. Team USA was vividly not pleased with their silver. May we take this time to remind the general public that winning any Olympic medal is nothing to pout about. Competition, we get it, but at the end of the day, someone still deemed you worthy and special and sealed it with a piece of metal. Embrace it and run.

USA's Jeret "Speedy" Peterson snagged his silver in aerial skiing, proving not all tricks are for kids. (See Tiger Woods entries for further support.)

Away from the global snow and ice competition, and in a much warmer arena, Boston and Cleveland matched sweats on Thursday night's NBA game, resulting in a win for "King James" (or LeBron James, if you don't worship humans) and the Cavs. The two are likely to meet again in the playoffs for more chest pounding and demonstrations of swagger.

Oh, and about that figure skating: the Republic of Korea won gold, Japan - silver and Canada - bronze. Sisters are doing it for themselves.
