Just some friendly smack talk. We play on the same team, so we all get along. It's the damn Minnesotans that cause all the problems

To quote the infamous Moe Wanchuk "That @#$% is no good." I'm not a big Kobe fan. I's wager it wasn't even close to the first time he cheated on his wife, but for the prosecution to drag his name through the mud, spend all this money and then drop the case? What the hell were they thinking. And as far as the girl. I feel bad for her. My guess is that she has some pretty deep psychological issues. I've seen Fraser, so I'm qualified to voice my expert opinion.

Myself a bunch of guys from my hockey team went to a bar last night (Atlanta area) to watch the US vs Canada. Half the guys on my team are Canadian so we were pretty loud, talking smack back in forth. The bar softball team walks in midway through the 3rd and one guy changes the channel....blood was almost spilled. Ends up I knew a guy on their team and we calmed everyone down. Talking to the guy I knoew, none of them even knew there was a WC of Hockey and didn't even know the US fielded an international team. I HATE the South.

I have actually found the sevice in Paris to be on par with any city in the U.S. Some people are nice, some are jerks. Most Americans lump the French in one big category, and they most likely do the same to us. Keep an open mind and don't hesitate to talk to people...although I recommend avoiding political discussions in foreign countries Don't know is theesir has left already, but I would recommend a day trip to Normandy (sobering, but the place breathes history) and Mont St. Michel (abby built on a rock island...sometimes ). Also, if you head to the Louve, use the underground entrance through the mall. In my experience the line aren't as bad. Visit Versailles. The gaudiness and richness is dizzying. It gives you a sense of how rich and powerful monarchs were.

A fraternity buddy of mine is a photojournalist for one of the NY area newspapers(don't remember which). He usually covers some pretty torn up areas, but was sent to the Olympics with the US Women's soccer team....however, he did shoot some pics at the beach volleyball venue. Not sure if he actually took these two pics, but he emailed 'em over to a bunch of us. Haven't seen them in this thread so far. I just posted them to a blank page on our hockey team's website. http://www.puckhounds.com/id41.html
