Olympics on ESPN?

Did they read my blog? Click here to check out a New York Times story about ESPN pursuing the 2014 winter Olympics in Russia and the 2016 summer Olympics in Chicago, Rio de Janeiro, Madrid or Tokyo. (I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Chicago -- I'd be there ... watching of course.) While NBC's efforts have been good, ESPN has a lot more flexibility I think. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!
