The Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics took place Friday Night with the games beginning on Saturday. I cannot say that I am very excited for the Winter Olympics. I am looking forward to the hockey tournament as Sidney Crosby plays in his first Olympics on his native Canadian soil with all the pressure in the world on his shoulders to bring home the gold. Outside of hockey, however, I doubt that I will find myself tuning into many live events unless history is at stake. I will catch up on the highlights from Sportscenter, watch some of the events that may have a compelling story or name, but in general, there is not too much that excites me about the Winter Games.
Bob Smizik, whose blog on the Post Gazette website I really enjoy, shares my sentiment and expresses many of my feelings in his short rant on the Winter Games. Check out his thoughts here: Smizik's Thoughts.

Glad someone else feels the same way. I mean skiing a mile cross country and then shooting 5 targets with a sniper rifle. Why is that an event? Who cares if the U.S. can beat Norway? Hockey should be fun, would expect Canada to win it all as Crosby won the junior championship before coming to the Pens and has been to the Stanley Cup twice already. Guy's a winner.
