Mark's Journal

My Red Wings have opened the NHL season 2-0 after a win over the Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks. Also, the Detroit Lions won their first game in commanding fashion.

This phrase from Mel Allen comes to mind about the Lions: "How about that?"

This is from the delegation from Russia. Their president wants their sports officials who prepared their athletes for the Olympics to resign. The reasoning: not winning enough medals. I think that is really stupid on their part. As far as I care, Russia should be happy with the number of medals they won because some countries aren't that fortunate. To me, they are acting like poor sports.
