I think I have an Olympic hangover. I'm not joking. I am exhausted. I watched more events this year than I have during a winter Olympics than I have since I had the chicken pox during the 1984 winter games in Sarajevo.
I was good. I was excited. I was standing in front of my TV and screaming during the U.S.A./Canada men's hockey game yesterday, which, by the way was one of the best hockey games I have ever seen.
Then Sidney Crosby won the game for Canada in sudden death overtime.
I imagine my emotions would have been different if the United States won the game, but suddenly I was done. I was emotionally spent. I needed a nap. I hadn't even realized that I had been so personally invested.
The Olympics are sort of the equivalent of the marathon for sports fans. This is where I collapse and possibly crap my pants.
