Sweden pull off the bronze in the extra end.. would have been a traveshammockery if sweden only lost once in the round robin and ended up getting shut out of the medals.

So, Chivas USA was bought out by MLS today (rumored for only $25 million when they turned down an offer of $70 million last year). So a not-so-fond farewell to probably the most controversial MLS owner (the HBO story on how they were weeding out non-spanish speakers had to hurt)

Today is a sad sad day, as we bid farewell to Olympic Curling for another four years after today. We need the Pro Curling league on ESPN. *nods*

The Philadelphia Phillies won't be getting any discounts from agents.. I wonder if this is going to spread from just draft picks to some of the bigger named players http://deadspin.com/report-the-phillies-ratted-out-two-draft-picks-to-the-1526769641

Canada's Women hockey team does it again, winning the gold medal in OT.

Anddddd... with the very last stone, Great Britain pull off a 6-5 win and take the Bronze Medal.

I would just get FS+ if you can (Especially if you have a DVR service). AFL costs $15/week, $25/month, or $139 for full season.. FS+ has a ton of games, and is only $15/month.

3-3 GB and SUI are tied halfway through the women's bronze medal match

Watching the GB-Sweden semifinal replay on NBCOlympics.com... man, Great Britain really got out of jail, their opponents are sitting 2 with three rocks to play, and just as important, NO GB rocks are in the house.

COME ON YA SWANS! (BTW, either the AFANA's schedule hasn't been updated, or all the games will be on FS+, not Fox Sports 2)

And already the Russians are throwing each other under the bus: Pierre LeBrunCoach Bil of Russia says he can't explain top players not scoring - especially Ovechkin, coach singles him out

Uskotko ihmeisiin? kyllä!!! ("do you believe in miracles??? YES!" in Finnish)

the Russians are starting to get frustrated. If the Finns can hold out for 5 minutes, get a breakaway... it's going to be interesting to see how the two teams deal with the pressure.. If they don't comeback, Putin won't let them out of the country

TUUUUUUUKKKA standing on his head.

We've moved to full fledged in Caps, UPSET ALERT, 3-1 Finland leads, and the Russians change their goalie looking for a spark

Sound the Upset Alert Warning... Finland 2-1 Russia after 1.

Not a great start for GB in the women's semi final.. first some debris on the ice leads Canada to take two in the first end as a Canadian shot switches direction and misses everything, and then by a matter of millimeters, Canada steal one in the second end.. Oh, and if you're up, you may want to catch the men's giant slalom second run. Just saying.

Sweden says "YOUR BRUSH WITH GREATNESS IS OVER, Slovenia".. (1-0 after 2, now 5-0)

PSG have taken Leverkusen out to the woodshed, 3-0 (and three away goals) in the first half

However, remember NBCU has "last negotiating right" (ie, the right to match any offer). Of course, this means that the other companies will put some riders in there that NBC can't match somehow.. but.. it's not over between NBCU/WWE

WOW! Photo Finish for gold in the biathalon. Officially they had the same time!

Great Britain women qualify in third place, while the men will play Norway tommorrow for a spot in the medal round.

Yeah, I start all the threads for the weirdo sports.. It's a gift. The preseason cup (NAB Challenge) are on Fox Soccer Plus, and the season starts next month (probably with games on Fox Sports 2 and FS+ (I sadly do not get FS2 yet). But DEAN will be happy.

It's... er... funky on the women's side. Great Britain is guaranteed a semi-final spot if they win against Denmark. Even if they lose, they're likely in. How likely? The BBC Olympics Live Blog just posted this: If they beat Denmark at 15:06 GMT, they're through in third place. If they lose and Japan lose, they're still through. And if they lose and Japan win, they enter into elimination matches on Tuesday which would be between GB, Japan and the winner of China v Switzerland. And breathe. I'll put the abacus away now (....) According to the World Curling Federation, Great Britain will progress to the semi-finals in 14 of the possible 16 remaining scenarios regardless of the result against Denmark after Japan beat China 8-3.... On the men's side: Great Britain beats China, they'll guarantee at least a tie for 3rd. (China, GB and possibly Norway depending on their result against Pants, I mean Denmark) would all be 6-3, requiring a 3 team playoff for two semifinal places. If they win, and Norway loses, they're in, if they both lose, Norway and Great Britain will playoff for the final semi final place)

In Test Match news: Yesterday. New Zealand just wanted to survive the third day, they were 94-5, still 152 runs behind, and facing an innings defeat to India. Thanks to some tenacious batting from McCullum (281*), Watling (124) and Neesham (96), New Zealand has scored 477 runs for the loss of a single wicket. McCullum could be the first New Zealand cricketer to score 300. Remarkably, for a game that looked like an India win, it begins to look like New Zealand are the only team with a chance to win now.,
