Ninjas are pretty much the coolest. I’ve become addicted to the TV show “American Ninja Warrior” on G4.

Here’s a link to a whole bunch of videos.

Winterfest 2011 – Bend, OR from Joe Hite on Vimeo.

Today is the world championship game of the Little League World Series with Hawaii facing off against Japan. I just happen to be in Hawaii and the moment and it’s funny to here the buzz for the game. I’m at the coffee shop right now and it’s what people are talking about. Little League is sooo smart! What other sporting event with 12 year olds has this kind of TV following? Why not follow the same model with other sports?

It’s also interesting that they are playing Japan, as there is a large Japanese population in Hawaii.

Should be fun, good luck kids!

I just heard my first world cup action on the radio, the USA vs England and boy was that stadium a buzz… literally! That whole buzzing sound is going to be a killer.

Making the news a lot now:

Brother Jon’s Public House on Galveston is a great place to watch sports and eat some delish food! I was sitting in front of three TVs there watching NBA, golf and a snowboard video… pretty hard to beat!

A friend just called me to tell me how awesome the winter biathlon was that he had just watched on TV. I’m excited, because I think the NBC coverage of the winter biathlon at the Olympics has been awesome and I’d love to see the sport grow. I’ve always been a big fan because it’s such a unique sport and I really feel like people don’t realize how “cool” it is.

My older brother Sam Cordell is a former national champion in the sport, so I’ve grown up watching it and thinking, “If people only knew how awesome this is!”

It’ll be interesting to see if the coverage of biathlon from the games will help grow the sport.

If you don’t know what biathlon is, here are some links:
• Biathlon (Wikipedia)
• Team USA

Watching the Nordic Combined on TV right now. Pretty fun stuff. Hoping that Todd Lodwick can win a gold medal for the USA!

Never mind about Lodwick, looks like Johnny Spillane is going to win the gold for the USA!

How awesome is biathlon? I mean seriously, what a cool sport. My older brother is a former National Champion in the sport so I’ve got a soft-spot in my heart for it. But really, nordic skiing and shooting is a pretty fun combo to watch on TV.

The USA has the best biathlon team its ever had this year and a couple of the guys are good friends of my brother who trained here in Bend. So cheer loudly at your TV today for Jeremy Teela and Jay Hakkinen.

Tim Burke, who I’ve never met, might be the best US biathlete ever. Pretty exciting stuff.

Having watched all the Olympics has had to offer so far, I have to say that the biathlon has been the most entertaining so far.
