Slammin' Sam on Sports Media Links

Good afternoon, fellow winter perseverers, (Note, if you are in a warm climate, please refrain from gloating. Thank you)

A lot of people are tired of this wintry stuff and wish it would go away. No doubt Tar Heels coach Roy Williams wishes his postgame comments would vanish too. The Heels have had a miserable season, but upon further review, there might just be bigger problems out there. I linked to the Huffington Post blog post here in case the clip is removed. Play it and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Golfer Sergio Garcia, on the other hand, is hopeful that his troubles are behind him. Remember, Phil Mickelson isn’t the only golfer out there with loads of talent, sans Tiger.

Here’s an interesting look at the ongoing issue of football concussions.

One day before the Opening Ceremonies, Bill Plaschke examines the hot button, scratch that, lightening rod that is Lindsey Vonn. If the name doesn’t ring a bell immediately, the story will.

Last, Brian Gomez, shares the story of the Team USA flag bearer.

Thanks for making Free Keon and the Slammin’ Sam on Sports Media Links Edition part of your Thursday!
