Place your wagers here

As we all know, the Winter Olympics have opened in Turino ,Italy
And one week before the games opened,the NHL betting scandal broke. I am suspicious of the timing.
I hope you remember who took the Hockey Gold home in Salt Lake: Canadian Men's and Women's,we kicked butt. Now some of you may think that it was because of the canadian coin secretly placed in center ice. I'm sure that the plotting started right after Salt Lake. How can we get those damn Canadians at next Olympics? But you went too far! You made Canada's Golden Boy of Hockey cry. Right before he left to coach Canada to the next Olympic Gold.Now Canadians put up with all kinds of disrespect and abuse from the world, but: YOU DON"T SCREW WITH WAYNE GRETSKEY
It's not gonna work, and I'm willing to take any and all wagers that come this way.

Here's what's up for grabs:

U.S victory: I will personally visit each of your blog sites each day, and leave a witty comment about your topic of the day.This will happen until the next Winter Olympics

Canadian Victory: You will turn yourself in to local authorities for Illegal International Betting on the Internet.
And leave me one comment: Hope,You were right, you always are.

If you'd like to sweeten the pot, I'm open, but be careful, cause I know as sure as the sun's comin up tommorow that Canada's ready to once more kick hockey butt.

If you want in, just leave a comment.

warning: this site may being monitered by law enforcement agents from both countries.

Hope...its a sucker bet. Most of the hockey players we have in the NHL have French names. That's no coincidence....they're all from Canada. How bout you bet me on the next Summer Olympics that the US basketball team won't take home the gold....you'd be equally as foolish...

Hope, Hope, Hope how can you have the attitude you do. We know it was a fluke that Canada won in hockey. (Boy am I going to get it for that comment.) I don't pay a whole lot of attention about the betting thing. There are people who have nothing to do but find fault no matter what the issue. I like Wayne Gretskey he was one heck of a baseball player.:)

irish:
glad you at least get the gretskey thing. I agree, with him on third and Mantle pitchin, the New York Braves, couldn't be beat.

WWW I knew that! Did you have to tell EVERYBODY else? I was hoping to get a few people to commit to turning themselves in to deflect from the real scadal. Isn't that how you guys do it down there?
Basket ball was invented in Canada, but that was in the summer, cause the rinks are to slippry and a frozen ball doesn't have a very predicable bounce. Interested in a wager on some snowshoeing or dog sled racing?

PS is there a way to take your comment off? I really think this idea could work.

Snowshoeing?...what the...you guys sure must get bored up there. People don't think straight when it's below zero. I can't think of but one single thing to do in freezing weather and that's get the hell out of it.

Don't care where it was invented...we 'bout got basketball all sewed up. It's not even fair anymore....and you can't have it back. After all, look what you did to football....screwed it all up. Least you ain't gone and changed baseball....we'd have to go to war over that.

Snowshoeing?????....damn.
