Sure, I will watch the Tiger Woods news conference today. Even if it isn't a news conference - because he won't answer questions. It's impossible not to wonder what he has to say.

- Goaltending is always hockey's biggest "X" factor. Jonas Hiller of Switzerland vs. Canada Thursday night was more proof. Oh, Switzerland came oh-so-close to knocking Canada off its high horse. Then again, it might serve as a wake up call for the Canadians.

- Seems like most of the American favorites to win gold medals are actually winning gold medals.

- Considering how massive Canada is in terms of land space, and how cold most of the country is at this time of the year, why are they hosting the winter games in a city where the temperature is so mild? Bizarre.

- Enough of Johnny Damon, already. Let him go to the White Sox.

Note: I will be doing live chats at theoaklandpress.com every Tuesday at 11:30 am.
