oddJoe takes oddsnark gold. And silver, and bronze, and whatever comes after bronze

Forgive the aggrandizement, but the efforts of one member of our snarky staff to chronicle the 20th Winter Olympiad must not go without recognition.

While the rest of us went into deep hibernation until March Madness — waking only to murmur prayers that the rock sliding Minnesotans, snowboarding hopheads, Miller-swilling Millers, and Cosby sweater-clad announcers might please, God, stop — oddJoe, almost single-handedly, brought readers daily coverage of the good, the bad, and the inebriated in Torino.

A modest Canadian, oddJoe’s not one to seek the spotlight. In fact, while he certainly deserves an employee-of-the-month-type photo, we were only able to secure an artist’s rendering of the enigmatic expert on sports involving ice. (Honestly, though, paint a bottle of Yukon Jack into this fella’s hand and it’s a scary likeness.)

So oddJoe, great thanks from your fellow snarks for all the hard work. Vive le Canada! Vive le curling! Vive le oddJoe!
