2012 Olympics Logo


Time to dust off this letter...

"Dear Fans,

Please refrain from making your final judgment on the logo until you see how the whole thing looks.

Sincerely,
Larry Quinn"

More from the UK Telegraph. Oh and by the way... the cost for this mess? $800,000!

The Chinese on baseball: "It's like a sport for nobility"


In Beijing they are busy building and prepping Wikesong Baseball Field, which will be the host venue for baseball in the 2008 Olympic Games.

Then incredibly, as this article in the Globe and Mail points out, they will be demolishing this perfectly fine and beautiful baseball park once the Games are over, to build a shopping mall no less. While the NBA has Chinese folks rabidly excited, apparently one can't say the same about baseball over there.
