Re: Part II of the XXIst Winter Olympiad....and NBC still sucks.

ok, so these commercials put us into the last eight stones of an end. This is awful.

And now they complain about cheering in the stands? Call me crazy but that's ridiculous.

I just watched Evan's one on one interview with Bob Costas from yesterday and he was so gracious. I am so happy he won and sooooooooo happy Plushenko has to suck on that silver. What a whiny crybaby. He apparently thinks one jump in a 4:40 program should decide the champion. Unfortunately Plushy, your skating-in-molasses spins, your pathetic attempts at artistry and your utter lack of anything resembling a jump in the entire final minute of your program might have also had something to do with it. I thought Dice-K should have won the silver over him.

I also thought Johnny Weir's scores were incredibly low. I do not think it was good enough for a medal (given that he was 6th going into the long program), but Canada's Patrick Chan was behind him, fell on his triple axel and managed to vault over him.

I agree about Weir. He skated about as well as he's capable of and probably deserved a better outcome. He really had his chance for a medal in Torino when he was second after the short program and then collapsed in the long. On the other hand, he does have a TV show and the exposure in the Olympics can only help. And then there's that porn thing to fall back on. This guy has a whole different frame of reference!

Make Smith the skip. He hasn't missed yet during the games. That was incredible.

Is the "color" commentator Scottish? I was trying to figure out his accent last night.

Great shot by Smith, again, means Sweden can only get 1 with the hammer after 3 ends.

2-1, hammer comes to the US finally.

You know what got old? Him failing to execute with last rock: costing the USA three wins, if not 4. You realize that if Shuster didn't go 2007 Mets bullpen on us the USA would be close to top of the group instead of dead last?
