Junkie

I am a certified sports junkie (not that you needed me to tell you this if you are a Loyal Reader).

For those of you who may think that I only pay attention to the male sport, today I had the USA women's basketball team beating Russia on the work TV (yes, I have a TV right next to my cube at work and I am the lord of the remote that controls it), and I found the women's gold medal soccer match on justin.tv (the work TV does not get USA Network).

Are there differences between the men's game and the women's game? Of course. But at its best it is just as exciting and the play is just as compelling. Both teams won. The basketball team now meets Australia for the gold medal and the soccer team wins another.

As an aside, justin.tv is one of the greatest websites. You want to watch boxing or wrestling pay-per-views or catch a great soccer match that you can't see on US television. Dial up justin.tv and watch in all its glory. Margarito-Cotto, saw it on justin.tv. Summerslam, saw it on justin.tv. Olympic soccer matches, you guessed it, saw it on justin.tv (in Spanish but at least I could follow the pictures!)

Here's to my fellow junkies who found a way for those of us without money or expensive satellite television packages to enjoy some of the smaller but equally exciting events of the sports world.
