With all the protests going on surrounding the
Olympics, including issues of civil rights, labor and the
environment, we thought it was time for us all to take a collective chill. And what better way to do that than with what always strangely seems to appeal to the typical reader of this and other sports blogs - hot chicks. As we "prepare" for the August Olympic games, we thought it our...
