| Going to Beijing: Got Brains?
According to today's Sports Illustrated magazine, the brainiest team in the US Olympic pantheon this quad?
"Fencing. Jason Rogers was a finalist for a Rhodes Scholarship. Emily Cross won the world junior title in '05 and then passed up senior worlds to finish her sophomore year at Harvard. Sada Jacobson has a history degree from Yale. Tim Morehouse is a Brandeis grad and former teacher. It's no wonder the siblings on the team, who work in finance in New York City, are named Keeth and Erinn Smart."

| The team, or the individuals to represent "braininess?"
No idea. This issue has about 4 pages of cutesy, one paragraph categories like "most tattooed", "family affair", "smallest home town", "secret talents" and the like.

| It's like those things they give out at prom... Most likely to succeed, best couple, etc. The fencers got the bookworm one. Course, I wouldn't be complaining. I would say it's better than "most tattooed".

| Rodman can join a women's field hockey team and make that the most tattooed team.
