More:
*Chicago snubbed by Olympics. In hindsight: So obvious. Still: Humiliating.

*HS Football: Anyone else watch prep 1 vs. 2 last night? Just me? St. Thomas Aquinas is REALLY good -- when you can light up the No. 2 team in the country, you're pretty awesome. I think I saw that Aquinas has 19 D1-A prospects -- in the senior class. Yikes. (Do-everything Lamarcus Joyner was particularly impressive for Aquinas.)

*Anyone still think the Dodgers have any shot of winning the NL pennant? Cripes: They may not even win their division, at this rate. Someone's playing to win (Colorado); someone's just playing to get to next week (LA).

More later. Time to settle in for a day of CFB-watching.
