Every culture has their version. Probably because it’s the best kind of game to play with a beverage in hand.
February 5, 20223 yr Author Don’t click if you’re watching short track speed skating on USA now. Spoiler Funny business?

February 5, 20223 yr Watching the downhill event. I’m always amazed at that enormous balls it takes to do this event
February 5, 20223 yr I wish another network would get the Olympics…having said that I still enjoy watching. It’s just more frustrating the last two Olympics.
February 6, 20223 yr Author Women’s short program live on NBC now. Awfully early for these young ladies.
February 6, 20223 yr The women’s snowboarding slope on USA is a mess. Like ten girls have gone and all of them but one has crashed on a jump so far.

February 6, 20223 yr Damn this Russian (Olympic Committee) figure skater is the fucking truth. Edited February 6, 20223 yr by tokamak

February 6, 20223 yr Good link on medal count. We apparently whiffed on one medal we were projected to win by 538. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/winter-olympics-medal-count/

Jordan Spieth tried to kill himself on the golf course today. Danger is present in every sport if you’re willing to push the envelope. 1 hour ago, cactusflinthead said: I don't know why I like curling. we all like curling every four years.

There isn’t any snow, but I guess that the temps drop low enough at night so that the shaved ice doesn’t completely melt. There was a story in today’s Dallas Morning News with a photo of the Men’s Downhill course.
February 6, 20223 yr That’s fucked up great job IOC, let’s pick a country with no snow for the WINTER Olympics. Oh yeah they are also highly politically charged (no CR). Great choice.
February 6, 20223 yr I’ve missed a lot so fsr but what I have seen. Are the Americans fucking uo everywhere. Did we send our bsquad ?
February 6, 20223 yr Wow, the men's 5k speed skating final heat was pretty cool. The Swede van der Poel that's apparently been dominating the last 2 years was 2 seconds off the pace with 3 laps to go but made it up to win by 0.5 s. Edited February 6, 20223 yr by WBT
February 6, 20223 yr I am watching the skiathlon and I only care about the dude wearing green because he’s the only one I can distinguish basically. Go green dude. No idea what country that is.
February 6, 20223 yr Author Saw that Swede dude live at like 4-something this morning, the color commentator was awesome.

There was a story in today’s Dallas Morning News with a photo of the Men’s Downhill course. I think it’s cold, just no snow. During the snowboarding yesterday they said it was -4 at mid day there. The last few Winter Olympics have actually all used mostly fake snow for the events. Edited February 6, 20223 yr by Hook1997
February 6, 20223 yr The only other place that bid was fucking Kazakhstan. I love the actual sports part of the Olympics but the IOC is such a joke. Why are the summer and Winter Olympics only every four years? Why not have it every year? I can’t imagine all the curling athletes are super busy.
February 6, 20223 yr NBC sucks ass!!!!! Give Olympics to CBS, ABC, or Fox. I don’t like to watch on a damn app and I realize I have Apple TV which is like Direct TV and that’s not hip or cool and only lame asses like me like cable BUT, NBC blows ass!!!! Edited February 6, 20223 yr by Nicole44
February 6, 20223 yr Author “Give Olympics to someone else” makes me laugh. $7.75 Billion may have something to say about that. Pour another drink Nicole, NBC has coverage in about 20 minutes. It’s not even 8 am there yet.

I am not drunk. NBC is not doing a great job. I find their coverage to be lackluster and also confusing. Jmo. I like you as a poster but damnit you make it a challenge. 🤬
February 6, 20223 yr Author What exactly would you like them to be showing at 7:50 am? There’s continuous coverage on USA if you really need a fix.

I’m not talking about the specific time of day or night. I know what time it is right now and accept that there isn’t anything live I am talking about NBC’s coverage and I am not the only one who finds it to be the suck.
February 6, 20223 yr Author Weather permitting, we should get Mikaela in Giant Slalom in a few hours.
February 6, 20223 yr Author Okay, we have all noted Nicole does not like NBC’s coverage. Let’s move on.
February 7, 20223 yr 10 minutes ago, shadow_operative2.0 said: Weather permitting, we should get Mikaela in Giant Slalom in a few hours. Will that be live on NBC or USA?
February 7, 20223 yr Flip on Olympics. Luge is on. Cool. wait for announcers to explain the stakes. Who is the leader? Does this run have a chance of competing? Is the 4th run important? What the fuck is going on? I don’t give a fuck how their parents probably feel. Or where they went to school. What is happening in front of my eyeballs? End rant
February 7, 20223 yr Who are the announcers for the luge. I like the luge because it looks like the participants are doing it against their will.

That’s gold! 100% agree!
February 7, 20223 yr I don't have strong opinions on NBC's coverage, but last night I sweatergawd they teased women's snowboarding coming up in like 20 minute and then it just...never happened. Showed figure skating instead. I don't mind figure staking but what the fuck?
