Fuck Canada Pt. 3: You May Have Beat Us In Hockey, But Who Got The Most Medals???


Ok, Ok... So the USA Mens Hockey team fell short in their quest for gold in Vancouver against rival and host country Canada. But it wasn't for lack of effort, thats for sure. They tied the game at 2-2 with 20 seconds in regulation. 20 seconds. Then they lost in overtime after a wonderful goal by NHL superstar Sydney "Syd the Kid" Crosby. These were the two best teams in the tournament, both with their entire rosters made up of NHL players. They were the teams that were supposed to be in the finals, and they both played hard. After the Canadian Women's Hockey team beat USA the other night for the gold medal, many Americans were rooting for the men to avenge that loss. But in reality, the Canadian Men and Women were both the favorites in the Olympics to win Gold Medals, and they did. But overall, the USA came out on top of the medal count... and that is all that really matters, right?

Despite the fact that they outnumber Germany 205-153 in the number of athelets participating in Vancouver, Canada came in third overall in the medal standings. The US had the most atheletes competing at 215, and they finished at the head of the pack for only the second time in their history at the Winter Olympics. The 37 medals that the USA did win were also a record for our country, the most medals we have ever won at one Olympic game. Congratulations to all the atheletes from all the countries who competed in these Winter Olympics, and especially to the USA Olympic Teams who repped for our country hard and came out on top. Here is the final medal count:

USA - 9 GOLD, 15 SILVER, 13 BRONZE = 37 MEDALS
GERMANY- 10 GOLD, 13 SILVER, 10 BRONZE = 30
CANADA- 14 GOLD, , 5 BRONZE = 26

Fuck Canada Pt. 2: You Can Pay For School, But You Can't Buy Class

Last week we ran a story about the USA Mens Hockey team winning it's first game against Canada in 50 years. It was in a non-medal prelimenary game, but when you upset the best team in the Olympics you deserve some credit. Today the USA plays Finland & Canada plays Slovakia in the semi-final games, setting up a possible gold medal game rematch if the USA and Canada can win this weekend. But last night, Canada gave us just another reason to hate our little sibilings from The Great White North. It happened on the ice, but it was the womens hockey teams from Canada that has everybody here in the USA mad as hell.
Last night was the gold medal game between USA and Canada, and it was a defense struggle. After two first period goals from 18 year old wunderkind Marie Philip Poulin, both the USA and Canada tightened up defensively and  the game finish with that same score, 2-0 in favor of Canada. The Canadians accepted their gold medals graciously. Then they left the ice to celebrate in their locker room. About 30 minutes later they were asked to return to the ice for photos... and thats where the bad behavior started.

The Canadian women returned to the ice wearing their gold medals around their necks, but they were also carrying booze and tobacco. Yup, on the ice... at the Fucking Olympics. This is not some celebratory champagne done all classy to toast the team. They were swigging Molson outta cans, pounding magnums of champagne like a Lil Wayne video, and puffing on cigars while acting crazy... sliding all over the ice and being rediculous.

 Now, I'm all for celebration... but COME ON!!! This is the Olympics for fucks sake. Swigging beer on the ice wearing your gold medal??? Thats just trashy. The worst part about the whole thing is that they were supposed to win. Granted, the USA is a quality opponent and the rest of the Women's Hockey field sucked. But Canada was the overwhelming favorite going in to the Olympics. Then you have Team Canada's star, Poulin, who is only 18.

While the legal drinking age in her hometown of Alberta is 18, in Vancouver it is 19. So you have trashy canadian ice hockey players doing their best fat-guy-at-a-poker-game imitations, sucking down cans of beer and puffing cigars... and they are doing it with a underage player. Great job.... so much for Olympic pride and sportsmanship. Now I really hope the USA gets to play Canada in the Men's Gold Medal Final this weekend, and I hope they kick their ass again. Canada may have invented the sport of hockey, but they need a few lessons on etiquette after victory. Lets go USA!!!! Kick those Cannucks right in the sack.... Get that gold medal!!!

Here's AN Oldie But Goodie: Drunk Dick Gets Knocked Out By Female Olympian Gymnast

Being that the Winter Olympics are going on, I remember a really great clip I watched on Youtube a few years back. I absolutely love stories like this. Alicia Sacramone was a member of the Silver Medal gymnastics squad at The Bejing, Olympics. She is one of the rare gymnasts who is actually attractive and seems to have some sembelance of a life away from gymnastics. Right around the time of the Olympics (August 2008) a clip began to fly around the internet, but it wasn't of Alicia catching a flip of the horse or doing a floor routine. No, it took place at a party at Brown University. Alicia describes what happens in the clip as typical teenage behavior. Guy gets drunk, says something stupid. Chick tells him she could knowck him out. Guy laughs at chick, sticks out his chin, and says take your best shot. Chick, who happens to be a world class olympian who happens to have a -6% bodyfat, throws a left hook that would make Tyson proud. She connects with guys chin, guy stumbles, and promptly hits the floor... COMPLETELY KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT!!! This is an absolutely real clip... just to prove this, I have also included an actual intro piece done about Alicia by a news reporter before the olympics in which she discusses "The Punch". If you have seen this video before, your welcome for bringing back for your viewing pleasure. If you have never seen it... well, get ready to thank me. By the way, the rest of the news clip shows that Alicia is a mad cool chcik who seems to be down to earth. Good luck in everything you do from here on out. Maybe female UFC???

Hahahaha... Fuck You Canada!

Fuck You Canada... Long live the USA. For the first time in 50 years the USA beat Canada in an Olympic hockey match. Even though there was no medals being awarded and the two teams will probably have to play each other again at some point, it is good to finally get over the hump and smack these cannucks up on the ice. The USA and Canadian teams are the only two teams in the Olympics that feature all NHL players on their rosters, and Canada has NHL golden child Sydney "Syd the Kid" Crosby on their roster. We will check back on this rivalry some time in the next week when they run it back, this time with medal ramifications. And on a final note, Canada may not be good for much, but they did give us this photo below, and that is good enough for me. Maybe Canada isn't so bad... If all the chicks look like these two, I'd bet more then a few Americans would make their way to the Great White North...lol!

2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics... Don't Forget To Watch The Opening Ceremonies Tonight

I never understood why people love the Summer Olympics so much more then the Winter Olympics. The Winter Olympics are very exciting and have become even more exciting by including former X-Games only sports like snowboarding into the events. This years Olympics seem to be extremely promising for the US of A, being led by the likes of snowboarder Shaun White and skier Lindsey Vonn. The U.S team will be outfitted by Ralph Lauren for the Opening Ceremonies, so they should look pretty snazzy as well... Below is a pic of the Opening and Closing Ceremony outfits the U.S. athletes will wear during the parades. All Olympic events will be televised o NBC. Check your local listings for specific times. Good luck to all the U.S. athletes in all the events, and lets take home some gold!!!!

Vancouver Olympics 2010 Mascots... Repping The Great White North

The 2010 Olympics start tommorow, and I just wanted to introduce you to the 3 mascots created to represent the city of Vancouver...

Here they are:


Here is a brief description of the 3:

Sumi - is an animal spirit who lives in the mountains of British Columbia. Like many Canadians, Sumi's background is drawn from many places. He wears the hat of the orca whale, flies with the wings of the mighty thunderbird and runs on the strong furry legs of the black bear.


Quatchi - is a young sasquatch who comes from the mysterious forests of Canada. Quatchi is shy, but loves to explore new places and meet new friends.


Miga - is a young sea bear who lives in the ocean with her family pod, beyond Vancouver Island, near Tofino, British Columbia. Sea bears are part killer whale and part bear. (Miga is part Kermode bear, a rare white bear that only lives in British Columbia.)



Here is a cool video introducing the mascots to the world:



Pretty cool kids... check it out!!!!

Brooklyn, We Get Hard... We Get Hard!!!!

Sorry Jay, but I had to change your boast about Brooklyn to fit what will be happening to men all over the country in the next few weeks... The Sports Illustrated 2010 Swimsuit Issue hit newstands on Tuesday Feb. 9th and it features the lovely Brooklyn Decker on the cover. Not a bad choice, the beautiful Mrs. Andy Roddick dons a teeny weeny yellow bikini on the cover of the annual celebration of women and bathing suits put out each year by the sports mag. The issue is often the topic of intense debates amongst the american male population and a good cover shot can make or break a model.

The magazine features tons of chicks in bathing suits... Duh!!! But it also has some really cool themed photo shoots. The first one is a Dancing With The Stars Cast shoot catching your favorite celebrity dancers and their partners in beach attire. Then there is a body painting spread which features a "Soccer Uniforms From Around The World Theme". Twilight's Ashley Greene also has a body painting layout. A few of the American Stars from the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver raise the heat in an otherwise cold weather setting. All in all, a solid effort by the boys and girls over at Sports Illustrated. Thank you for what you do year after year. Mena across America are forever in your debt... Enjoy!!!

Shaun White's Real Name Must Be Clark Kent...

... that is the only way to explain how he came back from this accident to win the gold medal in the Superpipe at the 14th Winter X-Games.



But the real amazing thing isn't that he came back from this face smack... it's that he came back to make his gold medal run 1 HOUR AFTER THE ACCIDENT!!!!!



Thats not even the half of this story. The most surreal part takes place off the half pipe. Shaun is scheduled to compete in the Winter Olympics in Vancouver in 2 WEEKS!!!! 2 WEEKS.... WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is for a GOLD MEDAL IN THE OLYMPICS... and here he is two weeks prior not only competing in the X Games for no apparent reason, but risking life and limb doing it!!! Then he wrecks, luckily doesnt snap his neck in 3 places, and STILL GOES OUT FOR HIS RUN!!!! AND DRILLS IT TO WIN THE GOLD FUCKING MEDAL.... WOW. Fuck Brandon Routhe, or any other actor. This is the guy who should play Superman in the next film Warner Brothers releases...

And then there is this pic of him with All-Time SuperSlut Pamela Anderson, tits popping out of her shirt like crazy... god, I hate my parents for giving me GI Joes and Thundercats instead of a snowboard when I was a kid!!!!


We Salute You Mr. Shaun White.... GO GET THAT GOLD IN VANCOUVER FOR THE U.S. OF A.!
