    McHale was old and creaky by that point too.

    The opening celebration unis might blow, but Team USA's cycling kits rock.

    Those are nice. I don't think I'd want the whole kit, but I wouldn't mind one of those jerseys.

    ESPN The Magazine and Men's Journal both have stories this month about sex and partying in the Olympic village. One more of those stories makes it a trend, right?

    And I'd buy one of those cycling jerseys too. <Checking USA Cycling web store.>

    Not on USA Cycling or even the official US Olympic team shop page. But the jersey is on the Skins store site for $100.

    That patch of dark blue in the crotch makes it look like they've peed their pants.

    I gotta ask ... is that the men's team or the women's team? Or both? Or neither?

    Ralph Lauren got the message. 2014 Olympic uniforms will be made in the U.S.

    The thing is, he should have "got the message" on his own without all the outrage and had the 2012 ones made in the U.S. to begin with.

    I wonder if all the clothing items worn by the politicians denouncing the "Made in China" labels were made in the USA. And has anybody checked the flag the team will carry in the opening ceremony?

    I can tell you that as much of my clothing (and everything else I buy) as possible is made in the US. Can't speak for the politicians.
