The Swiss team nearly defeated Sweden in a hockey friendly yesterday, but Sweden scored a power play equalizer with 14 seconds in regulation to set the table for a shootout (after an overtime period, I would assume, although I don’t care enough to actually look that up).

And that’s when 2007 Oilers draftee Linus Omark (an Irish guy?) stole the show with this f-cking excellent shootout goal that helped propel the Swedes to a meaningless victory.  Anything that reminds me of the changeup “Hadouken!” from Street Fighter is okay in my book.*

If Tony Romo can't get things to work out with Jessica Simpson, but still enjoys that domineering father-in-law figure, he might want to take a flyer on Swedish track star Carolina Klüft. Klüft's head was super-imposed onto a more voluptuous body for a press conference promoting an upcoming event — with her father's consent.

"I don't think that looks so nice. I have to be honest,” Klüft said on Monday following the unveiling of the image, which featured a video image of track star’s face superimposed on a drawing of a buxom athlete sporting blond pony-tails.

“That's not me, a floozie with big boobs.” 

Kluft is 25, and enjoys harpooning whales, yodeling, and backgammon. She pulled out of a heptathlon earlier this year, which was kinda shitty of her because the heptathlon was almost there. That one might take you a second.
