2010 Winter Olympics thread...

[RICHARD]

The rest of the Women's Hockey games are going to be played on a half-rink.

To keep the scoring down.

PS.....

IT's all marketing, If you ain't the 'official' sponsor......Tough luck.

I was watching some international event and both team's jerseys had more advertising than on some NASCAR rides....

Money talks!!

Not more than two minutes ago I looked up to see a MILLER BEER TRUCK pass by...My street is not a main drag, so I was really surprised to see that!!!

Woo Hoo!!! 8-0 win for the Canadian Men's hockey team!!! Love the line of Nash, Crosby and Iginla. Iggy got the HAT!!

And we got another gold today, in women's snowboard cross.

What happened to Stephen Stills?

Oops, He's not the Canuck, Neil Young is!

Thanks for the chuckle Richard.

What's with this ice skating dude? He's fallen down twice already.

Do you think I can let something like that get passed me?

Is Cammie Granato's nose awesome in High Def?

I am still blow away by the scar on JR Celski's thigh. I have seen tons of scars for knee sugeries, My brother has a 8 inch 'catepillar' on his inside knee, but....
They said it went down to his thighbone and was six inches across.

His story is pretty remarkable!

I didn't watch hockey - there will be many more games.

I watched Biathlon this afternoon, women's and men's. What a fantastic event!! And still more to come.

I really love the cross country skiing events and ski jumping.

And tonight I watched the Westminster Dog Show - Sadie won!!

Not enough French??

Where have you gone Jim McKay?

Besides the bobos that are reporting the Games, I almost went bonkers over listening to the sno-board gal, Jacobellis, do an interview after her race.

Yaknow? What is it with athletes, yaknow? I saw the same thing, yaknow, after the Danica Patrick race, yaknow? Seems like they cannot put a sentence together without, yaknow, putting a few thoughts together, yaknow?

I did try and figure out what Bode Miller was trying to say during his interviews. He and the US ski team have had a pretty asty relationship.
They both came to an agreement to ski in Vancouver because he is/has the best chance for us to medal in any downhill event. Another non story.

All the "Up CLose and Personal" stories are, at best, clips about obnoxious athletes that cause their own problems....

What happened to the feel good stuff where an athlete is run over by a truck, tossed into air where they land on a power line, get electrocuted, go into a coma, regain their senses, get an olympic dream and sell hotdogs on a stick to finance their training?

Now?

It's super rich snow boarder with the secret training site in the mountains....all financed by Red Bull Energy Drink!!!

Give me a Moldavian curler, who cut and shaped their stones with an emery board and a meat tenderizing mallet.

Now, That's an Olympic athlete that had a dream!

[RICHARD]

What happened to Stephen Stills?

Oops, He's not the Canuck, Neil Young is!

I watch the closing ceremonies mainly for the Olympic Flag being taken down, and the next hosts accepting it and for the flame to be extinguished.

Yep, Neil Young is a Canuck.

And, a pretty talented one at that.

That was a good move by Babcock to move Bergeron off that line... The Norwegians hung in there for bit.... LOL

And, bummer for Iggy, he did not touch that last goal. The official results give it to Nash, from Crosby.
