* Sometimes, athletes on TV are inarticulate and sometimes they have the best lines. On Wednesday, skier Kelly VanderBeek talked viewers through footage of Lindsey Vonn crashing during a run. "That's gonna ring her bells something fierce," Vanderbeek said. Good pith.
* Occasionally, we've seen too much mugging for the camera during these Games. Yeah, we know Vancouver is hopping. We don't need some fool in the background making faces, pointing a finger and screaming "we're No. 1!" to illustrate. Mind you, footage from a high school in Summerside, PEI, on Wednesday did contain the cutest attention-grabber. Amid a class full of kids cheering for bobsleigh competitor Heather Moyse, one guy waved a sign that read "marry me, Heather!" Cheeky brat.
