agreed. even though i, like all of you, am a long-time-suffering canucks fan, there is just something to be said about the collective voice of 27million people (or however many people watched the game) all cheering for the same team.

John Furlong's reputation has definitely taken a hit over the last couple of days. Basically, VANOC was aware that the bobsled track was unsafe, but they elected not to make substantial changes to reduce the speed. To be fair, the FIL approved the course in the end. Globe and Mail story here: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/...rticle1898220/

Jeff Lee, a blogger over at the Vancouver Sun, has alleged that while the CBC was uncovering this information, VANOC leaked the e-mails to CTV and Global to blunt the criticism. Check out his blog here: http://communities.canada.com/vancou...criticism.aspx

CBC's The Fifth Estate is airing a feature about the bobsled track on Friday at 9.

CTV will be airing the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games Anniversary Special at 7pm on Sunday.

Media spin.

Don't want to subject yourself to danger? Go do curling then.

I dunno man, those rocks would hurt if you got hit by one, and I'm sure it's happened

Yeah but what are the odds of a freak curling accident?

Saw news article on Gregor Robertson and how he swindled his way into the opening ceremonies. Ego maniac that he is..............

It was mentioned in Furlong's book.

Robertson is such a media whore.

Xnova86 02-09-2011 10:30 PM
