You know with all the talk of armwrestling in the olympics, etc... I find it really interesting that no one has started a thread about the winter olympics which are going on right now...
any comments on your favorite sport?
Any comments on Bode Miller's performance/attitude?
Any comments at all?
As a family, we've enjoyed watching them since they started. Watching the opening ceremonies was especially exciting to me...I get goosebumps about that kind of thing...especially seeing our Team USA marching out waving our American flag!
I was just curious if anyone else was keeping up with them and just not saying anything?

I can honestly say I have found a new respect for curling...... Other than that I am upset with the american coverage, and am now becoming canadian due to all of the CBUT I have been watching.

Not very exciting.. When asked by Al Roker this morning on the Today Show if this is all they do for a living or do they have 9-5 jobs? The 2 man luge U.S. team told him that this was their job! NICE!
Prelims are boring, finals are better, obviously.

Bryan Gumbal said today that the Winter Olympics looked like a Republican convention. What a A.S.S.

Why would he say that??? Because they're all waving American Flags? I will say one thing... I AM SO HAPPY THAT EMILY HUGHES HAS HER RIGHTFUL SPOT ON THE TEAM! She qualified for the Olympics at the US Figure Skating Nationals and got bumped by someone who has done NOTHING all year... only to be called back and told you can come after all. I think it was a publicity stunt by this skater- $$$$$$$$ Meanwhile, Emily misses out on the excitement of the Opening Cermonies, etc... (I think it's all politics...)

No because there are so few black men and women in the winter Olympics.
