ESPN The Magazine - Rick Reilly: An apology to Vancouver and the Olympic Games - ESPN
I think he's pretty much an a$$ during most of the column, but this part was too funny to pass up.
Overall, while the weather has been unfortunate, this isn't out of the ordinary for the Winter Games, and I think that Vancouver has done well. It certainly is beautiful country.

The big, emotional moment -- the lighting of the Official Olympic Giant Reefers -- was botched. Only three of the Official Olympic Giant Reefers came up, and points are deducted for going for the quad and pulling only a triple. Although I did like torchbearer Wayne Gretzky being taken to the lighting of the Official Olympic Giant Outdoor Reefers in the back of a pickup truck.
