Wednesday Blogdome: Siren Guy thwarts crime, roots for Canada

Olympics: Puckheads Rejoice Canada 8, Germany 2. Canada’s men’s hockey team swiftly took apart Germany last night, 8-2, much to the delight of their rabid, well dressed, gold-expectant fans. For the record, puckhead is impressive, but thus far, siren-guy trumps all. [The Big Lead]

* Things to love about Target Field. Walleye on a Stick: Walleye is one of my favorite things in the world to eat, so I’m pretty annoyed that I didn’t ever think of putting it on a stick. On the other hand, slather anything in tartar sauce and I’ll call it a meal. Along with other Taste of Minnesota-type treats, Target Field concessions will also be serving pork chops on a stick and wild rice soup (not on a stick.) Delicious. [Sooze]
* Silenced Ringer Costs Skater a Shot at Olympic Glory. While Germany is No. 2 in the overall medal count at the Vancouver Olympics, they’ve got a pair of speed skating stories that involve some seriously bad luck.

* G-Unit is joining the O-Unit. The buzz around Hollywood, or should I say Allendale, Michigan, is that Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is trading in his mic and Kevlar for shoulder pads and cleats. That’s right, 50 Cent is returning to the big screen as a college football player. [The Matador Sports]
* Curling Infographic Explains All. If you were hesitant to watch one of the most interesting sports of all the Winter Games because you didn’t understand what the heck was going on…well then you are dumb and you need a giant picture to help you out. Thank the maker for we are here to assist you. Click on the picture and enjoy knowing what all the hipsters in the great white north have known about for ages. [Deuce of Davenport]
* ESPN Going Back To Its Roots, Signs Two-Year Deal With AVP. It seems like just yesterday that ESPN was airing only archery, pool, and various lumberjack events. They’ve also been grabbing up every tv deal available these days, so heck….why not bring some Beach Volleyball into the fray!? ESPN has signed a two-year deal with the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP), and will begin airing events this April. [Awful Announcing]
