What's the story?

Let me, let you, in on my life. I have recently discovered how much I love business. Not just any business, but the business of sports. It is quite unbelievable how business works in sports. You have partnerships, corporations, marketing, advertisement, sales, and even naming rights. It could not be a more difficult process to actually fully understand each and everyone of these things, and I'm not about to begin telling you about any of them. If you are interested, you can look it up on google, or bing, or whatever other search engine you choose to use. The business within sports is such a fascinating thing. Not only do you have the stuff like marketing that is more behind the scenes, you actually have to run a team. You may have to dump salaries to free up some cap space to sign a good player. Or get rid of a good player to release the money to rebuild the team. The decisions made within a team will most times be questioned, but remember, even though your favorite player on your favorite team just got traded away, MOST times, it's only to benefit the team.

I'm not sure what's more surprising, the fact that Jamaica doesn't have a bobsled team in the Winter Olympics this year, or the fact that Chat Roulette is slowly grabbing the hearts of the world and sucking them into a wild abyss of nothing. Chat Roulette is just a weird concept. It hooks up everyone who goes to the website to random people all over the world who have webcams. Then you just talk to random people. I've had one run-in with Chat Roulette, and I will most likely never use it ever again. Some people use that to do some really sick things, so beware!

What will be the story of the Olympics this year? No one knows right now... Will it be: Canada not winning a gold medal in any event for the 4th time they've held the Olympics. That's right, Canada has never won a gold medal when hosting the Olympics. Will hockey win the hearts of the world, making it the event to watch? Will Shaun White win gold? Which country will win the medal count? So many stories, and only less than 16 days to hear them....
