US Hockey beats Canada!

View descriptionShare

What a weekend! After digging out on Friday after work, I took my sore back downtown & watched the US Men beat Slovakia to advance to the Gold Medal game, which they also won!

Talked a lot about the Olympics wrapping up this weekend, including a final medal count & some of the bigger stories from the last few weeks in Italy.

Elsewhere in the news this morning, the latest on the violence in Mexico, an update on the search for Nancy Guthrie, and a look at the blizzard hitting parts of the East Coast.

In sports, the Bucks won on Friday after a long break for the NBA All-Star game, but lost yesterday to the Raptors. The Badgers took care of Iowa yesterday afternoon, Tyler Reddick won his 2nd consecutive race, the Brewers are struggling in Spring training, and Vikings wide receiver Rondale Moore died over the weekend.

Let you know what's on TV today/tonight and recapped "Dead of Winter" which the wife & I watched this weekend.

Unless you've been living in a bunker recently, you know about Punch the Monkey. He's going super-viral after his mother refused to care for him at a zoo in Japan. And now IKEA is helping out after the zoo used a stuffed animal to help Punch.

In other sports related items, Conor McGregor apparently wants to fight again, Pirates legend Bill Mazeroski died, and a fan ran onto the court of a college basketball game and tried to block a player's dunk.

Check out these guys who set a record by playing Pickleball for 28 hours straight! And ICYMI, a dog that was abandoned at an airport has now been adopted by one of the airport officers who responded to the call of his abandonment! And a guy in Chicago is a hero after jumping into the freezing waters of Lake Michigan to rescue a baby who's stroller was blown into the lake by a strong gust of wind!

Apparently, Mr. Clean is "retiring", and Dunkin' Donuts is testing a giant coffee bucket in some New England locations. Plus, tomorrow is "National Tortilla Chip" day, so Chipotle is giving away free chips & queso!

And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about people pooping on the L.A. buses, a software engineer who somehow gained control of several thousand robot vacuums, an elementary school teacher in North Carolina who had a bad day at a Sam's Club, a Circle K in Arizona that sold a winning lottery ticket, a medic in Pittsburgh who was stealing rubber gloves from work & trading them for free pizza, and an auto repair shop in Iowa that made some questionable commercials.
