I think that I will watch some of the Olympics; my wife is nuts about the Olympics, so I may end up watching more than I planned. I feel the Olympics has just gotten way too big and commercialized, which takes away some of the fun for me.

That being said, I am really looking forward to watching the curling and the hockey. Olympic hockey, when the NHL players are involved, is always great to watch because it truly is the best of the best from each nation (unlike the regular world championships which just feature NHLers that didn't make the NHL play-offs).

The curling will also be a nice change of pace; Canada has a very deep field of curlers, which is why a lot of other countries come here to train and compete. And while it's fun to see the top Canadian teams go head to head (which is the same caliber of curling as we'd see at the Olympics), it will be nice to watch some teams I don't see as often (like Team Murdoch from Scotland, for example).
