The fine folks at NBC are having some problems these days. First the whole Jay Leno/Conan O'Brien/Ann Curry personnel issues. Then they cancel one of their best performing shows (Harry's Law) And let's not even get me started about WHITNEY. Now the Olympics are here, what could go wrong with that?
Power Shopping. Window Washing. Crab Catching. OK I made those up, but there are some odd "sports" that have been a part of the Olympics in the past. Like Club swinging and Tug of War. Really. Tug of War. That would be something for TV these days. Much like the "World's Strongest Man" shows on ESPN, maybe Tug of War WOULD be kinda fun.
After yesterday’s Opening Ceremony, the 2012 Summer Olympics had its first full day of competition on Saturday.
It's not because I don't want the USA to win and do well. Of course I do. Maybe I'm just getting older, but the Olympics used to be more fun when there was a real bad guy. Remember when the Olympics were like WWE wrestling? There was a good guy (Hulk Hogan) and a bad guy (Andre the Giant, god rest his soul) and then there were the bad guys who became good guys (Randy 'Macho Man' Savage' god rest HIS soul).
USA, Russia, Germany. Same thing.

The Griffs and the Red Wings made it official today! The new head coach of the AHL team is West Michigan's own Jeff Blashill! The former Red Wings assistant and Western Michigan University coach is the new head man in the Griffins organization! The announcement broke on Twitter today, and was even a trending topic! Go Griffs!
Hottest day of the summer. 97 in the shade. Lets think about ice, cold, freezing hockey! Ahhhh that's better. The Griffins have a couple of announcements. For starters, the Griffins on Tuesday signed forward and East Grand Rapids native Luke Glendening to a contract. Glendening becomes the first player from Greater Grand Rapids to ever sign with the AHL team.
When a sports team or league decides to retire a number, that usually means no one else will ever wear it. The Tigers retired Al Kaline's number 6, so no Tiger will ever wear 6 again. Same with Gordie Howe or Steve Yzerman with the Red Wings. Jackie Robinson and Wayne Gretzky have the same honor with Major League Baseball and the NHL. Now word is the University of Michigan wants to "reissue" Grand Rapids' favorite son Gerald Ford's number 48 "to honor him". Huh?
