How about Steve Nash lighting the torch?

He's my favorite Canadian, and my homeboy.

That was cool.

I recognized him by his hair before he even turned around to the camera.

Did Lennox light the torch too? I gotta be honest I didn't watch it. I just knew Nash was there because it's all over Phoenix sports radio.

I like Lennox a lot, and I think he has been severely under-rated by the Boxing community, but I will also admit I have always been a bit biased in favor of Americans when it comes to Boxing.

Yeah, I know he fought out of Britain, but nobody forgot his performances in the Olympics, so he's definitely a Canadian.

That's the reason I still love Olympic Boxing, Wrestling, Basketball, and Hockey. As an American fan, those are the kinds of sports I follow, and those athletes usually go on to, or already do, impact the American professional sports leagues that I follow.

A beast in the Olympics yes, but over rated as a pro in my book....

Over-rated how?

I'm not gonna flame, I just really want to hear your argument.

I'm looking forward to seeing Lindsey Vonn ski and the speed skating. They're is a guy from this area competing in that.

Now people are complaining about the media showing pics, etc.

I saw some of the pics and they were pretty gruesome.
