and keep in mind, they have to be 16 in the olympic year, so they can actually be 15, as long as they turn 16 before dec 31st. at least that's how i've interpreted it. i know in a few other events, they've said that a few players have had their 16th birthdays during or just before/after the olympic...

Didn't some of the US track athelets get in trouble for wearing dust masks? If I remeber correctly they wore them to protect against the smog, but it was viewed as a politcal statement rather than a health one, so they were forced to apologize. But this picture is defensible? What a crazy world.

I think it was either 1996 or 1997.
Thanks, that is the time frame I was thinking. Just can't remember if I had already graduated college or not.

Check out the third paragraph if you want to find out. So the 1984 Olympics in LA were labeled as the most Jingoistic since the 1936 games in Berlin. How are those same people going to classify this opening ceremony?

Why would they want Favre? They're a lousy team and he has nothing left. This makes no sense at all. I am not sure that he has nothing left. He is still a better quarterback than most others in the league. He maybe old, but he is still a threat. Personally I would have preferred to see him go to Ta...

I've said it before - if you're planning a once-in-a-lifetime trip do it soon. Air travel will no longer be affordable in a few years. I agree with the basic premise that air travel as it exists today will not be affordable in the near future. But that does not mean that there is not a travel niche...

Re: CHOKE

I have to agree with Flock on this one..... The Pats were BIG favorites in that game the fact that it was a great game at the end of a great season doesn't change the fact that the Pats failed to win a game they were supposed to win easily Hence: CHOKE How can anyone say that?

Great point. If they had printed to rebuttal it would have just been one more salvo in the campaign war. Now it has blossomed into this major event. Interesting.
