No medal for you

Yes, we did take yesterday off from blogging – part of the aforementioned Madden day of mourning. How about these sour grapes some are expressing about the Olympic gymnastics competition. While the U.S. women have owed up to their silver medal flame out (not helped by injuries), others continue to grouse about the apparent age impropriety of the gold medal Chinese team. If the U.S. team can't beat a bunch of Chinese preteens or at least reasonably distract them with Hello Kitty backpacks, then they don't deserve a spot on the Olympic medal stand.
