Monday Poll: Winter games.
Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints and all the former Washington Redskins on the team. The MoodyTunes Super Bowl poll ended up as a 4-way tie. I think that sums up the overall mood of the United States in 2010 — we can’t even decide if we like Sarah Palin or not — so I hereby certify the results as official. Now we move on.
There’s usually a nasty post-Super Bowl hangover for sports fans. The NBA’s interminable season doesn’t get interesting until May or June. March Madness zips by. Professional hockey shut down years ago. Baseball starts in April. Fortunately, this year we have the Winter Olympics. This week’s poll asks you to select your favorite event from a list of all the events I could remember without taking the time to Google them. If I missed something important, let me know and I’ll add it while it’s still early in the week.
Favorite event of the Winter Olympics?
- Figure skating (42%)
- Bobsleigh/luge (33%)
- Skiing (17%)
- Speed skating (8%)
- Curling (0%)
- Hockey (0%)
- Skeleton (0%)
- Snowboarding (0%)
Total Votes: 12

Somehow (at least when I view the poll), with 8 votes cast, speed skating has a tally of -1%. I think that’s karma…they shouldn’t be milking the Dan Jansen thing — still — in 2010. That’s the only Olympic commercial I’ve seen.

Speed skating fans, unite!
I should have added biathlon, because that’s skiing and shooting combined, which might be appealing.

I just checked the official Winter Olympics web site, and can report that we all forgot about snowboarding, cross country skiing and something called skeleton, which looks like it could also be called belly lugeing. Also, bobsled seems to be officially termed bobSLEIGH. Fancy, schmancy!

Hmm…I shall have to modify the poll slightly based on this new information. All hail skeleton.
