Curling!

Who knew?

I did, haha. Lots of curling on TV around here. That Russian team is the bomb. There are some really nice girls playing that sport. It's the equivalent of winter golf if you will.

Saw an interview with the 2014 version of Tara Lipinski (former figure skater). She is quite striking!

Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont wins gold for the US. Lol did you guys hear the interviews with him? He seems like a good kid, but sounds just like Spicoli.

In another note, that last lady ice skaters butt swallowed her costume.

I was at Redondo Beach Brewing Co last night with his uncle... The whole place was going nuts during his first runs... Pretty cool.

Damn did I love Moceanu. I was living in ATL at the time and my family and I went to many events, including those ladies and some baseball. I'll never forget walking around Centennial Park the day before the bombing, something impossible to forget....

I was at the Games in ATL too. My dad and I had walked around the park about an hour before the bomb went off. Talk about a shock.

They're up 9-0. And have taken something like 49 shots to the Swiss team's 10. At this point, they should just suit up the US women's curling team and send them out there.

Yeesh, I think Pac being not at 100% screws up the lines a little. IMO it should be:

Parise-Statsny-Kessel
JVR-Pavelski-Kane
Brown-Backes-Pacioretty
Callahan-Kesler-Oshie



Oh and speaking of hot olympians, I'd like to introduce you to the girl in my avatar, Hilary Knight

Has anyone else found NBC's coverage to be borderline unbearable? It's really turning me off for a few reason.

1. Blatant homerism for USA athletes.

2. Over-editing to show only the "interesting" athletes. If they show you a contestant, there's a 95% chance he or she is a) American, b) a medalist (since the broadcasts aren't live and they know who to show), c) a major crash, or d) someone they're going to run a prepared segment on.

3. People who don't know WTF they're talking about. I couldn't count the number of times the slopestyle commentator went on and on about how great or poor a run was just to see the scores come in the opposite way.

4. Hyperbole. EVERYTHING is the "greatest skate EVAAAR" or the "most intriguing matchup EVAAAR" or the "GREATEST. WINTER. OLYMPIAN. OF. ALL. TIME."

5. Cultural ignorance. That one doesn't really need to be explained.

6. Justification of douchebags like Bode Miller just because he/she/they are American.

This is rampant throughout sports journalism, and it drives me CRAZY. I can't even watch SportsCenter anymore.

-Indeed, everything is 'greatest ever' now... until next week when the new, "greatest ever" comes around...

-I don't mind the homerism, I'm American, screw these commie bastards... ;)

-The editing makes me sick... I was watching the snowboarding and some chick from Norway was leading, then an American girl came up, and then came right back to the chick from Norway for her second run and she was suddenly in fourth... "Wait, only one other girl went, how did she drop three spots??" Just show me the whole event please.

I can't stand how NBC keeps cutting out of coverage for some story or the talking heads to discuss something they have no business talking about. I want to watch the Olympics for the Olympics, not talking and not only some of the action.

A late lead for the US squad will be serious trouble for everyone else.


Pucks deep with a checking line of brown backes Callahan,

If nothing else happens at these Olympics, I want someone other than Russia (or Canada to a lesser extent) to win the Gold in Men's Hockey... I would LOVE for our boys to win it in their house... if we play Russia... MUST. WIN. Like impeach the President, bomb somebody (or everybody) or just start the whole country over from scratch if we lose to those bastards... it’s dat real.
