Many Olympic problems are being blamed on warm weather melting the ice. So maybe THAT’S what’s been happening to the Sharks in the playoffs.

U.S. figure skater Johnny Weir has been receiving death threats from some PETA members and other animal rights activists because his original costume featured fox fur. Now, I personally hate fur but I hope no one tells these activists that most of Weir’s competitors will have their feet covered in leather.

The City Council of West Hollywood has voted to ban stores from selling dogs and cats, even though there are no pet stores within the city limits. What’s next, a resolution commending women who haven’t had plastic surgery.

NBC ran a promo for Jay Leno returning to the Tonight Show during the Olympic telecast. Which probably marks the first time most people have seen Leno in prime time.

Watching the half pipe athletes playing with their phones before and after their runs: If they want to add both degrees of reality and difficulty, how long until the sport gives boarders extra points for texting DURING their runs?

Actually “half pipe” might be a bit of a misnomer. Because it seems that if before you’d be brave and/or crazy enough to attempt the event, you’d have to smoke a full pipe.

Bobby Bowden said he didn’t want to retire from Florida State, but he didn’t want to be a “figurehead football coach.” Besides, if he had been interested in a position like that he would have made more money with the Oakland Raiders.

San Francisco mayor and former candidate for governor Gavin Newsom has now announced plans to run for lieutenant governor. Makes sense, if elected, the position will give him plenty of time to run his campaign for his next office.

Carrie Prejean is complaining again about losing her Miss California title, saying the pageant people WANTED her to pose for Playboy. Is that really likely? Now she COULD have been encouraged to do so by the Republican party….in preparation for a future Senate run in Massachusetts.
