The morning links, quick and painless as we clear the decks for today's gold-medal hockey game live texter:
Cindy Klassen is living up to the hype at the Turin Olympics, with more to come -- the same couldn't be said for the CBC yesterday. Team Canada's hockeyists, male division, are not.
LeBron James is the NBA All-Star MVP, which we'll all have forgotten by tomorrow -- except maybe for Chris Bosh. (Oh, dear. Controversy in the slam-dunk.)
Ricky Williams tests positive.
Bad weekend for broken footballers: Alan Smith and Francesco Totti.
It's a Champions League week, with Chelsea-Barcelona the best matchup from among the final 16.
Barry Bonds says he's retiring at the end of the season. Er, maybe not.
Barry Bonds should stick around until he hits that magical home run to break Hank Aaron's record and then walk right out of the stadium never to return. Just cross the plate and keep trotting right to the parking lot, into the limo and gone. If his team is in the middle of a pennant race, all the better.
That would be the ultimate way to show the fans what really mattered to Barry throughout his entire career.
