Post #26: This is Method Air

Yesterday at work I was able to get a screen capture of Lindsey Jacobellis now infamous tweak. Two seconds later she was on her back, and on her way into the history books. According to some NBC commentators, there is no other fuck up like this in recorded sports history.


I'm paraphrasing of course :>.




The closest thing to this was Leon Lett of the Cowboys a few Super Bowls back. Just before crossing the goal line he began to showboat. Don Bebe of the Bills caught up to Lett, caused him to fumble, and loss the ball. The difference was the Cowboys were winning by 35 points.

Do I feel sorry for Lindsey? No! If it was me, I think after the disappointment of falling set it, I would enjoy the fact that I lost the gold tweaking a method air for the crowd.

Post #25: How much does a method air cost?

Well it costs Olympic Gold for Lindsey Jacobellis. On the second to last jump, with a 3 second lead in Women's Snowboard-Cross, Lindsey goes for the cherry topping by tweaking a method air. She wipes out on the landing and the second place snowboarder streaks past her for the gold. This article gives a great recap. She first claimed that she was trying to stabilize herself in the air. Later she came clean and said she got caught up in the moment. Too bad I couldn't find a picture of her doing the infamous method air. F#&%*@& Americans!

Post #24: Blizzard of '06

Louie's face says it all. It was cold and windy! You couldn't see farther than a block away. The asphalt was so cold, it bothered his little feet. We had to carry him a few times in the days following the storm. Even though this picture is from my camera phone, you see the snow on his snout.

This picture taken at 7:45am. We woke up and decided to walk the dog since our landlord Bill just plowed. As you can see the clean sidewalk didn't last for long. Shortly after this, I had to walk into the wind toward Fine Fare, to pick up groceries. That 2 minute walk took me 10 in knee deep snow in some parts. I ended up walking on the Concourse since no one was on the road. Now flash forward to today, and almost all the snow is gone. This is by far the weirdest winter yet.
