No, I'm not a fan of any of it.

But I'm not the one that said "this board sucks", either.

What is your point?

It's pretty simple. If I think a restaurant sucks, I don't go back to it. I don't harp on the owner, or the wait staff, or the cook. I just don't go back. I'm under no obligation to do so.

If I think MSNBC sucks, I don't watch it, or go to that website. I'm under no obligation to do so.

You made the statement "this board sucks". I understand you didn't like the comments that precluded your statement, yet you made that statement. If it sucks, as you say, and have said, feel free to use your rights.

That's all.

So, you are saying that I should act exactly as you do? LMAO

Take a hike, arch.

I make those comments because I am hopeful that more reasonable minds will prevail and drown out those that are whacked.

If you can't understand that........well then, perhaps follow your own advice and stop reading my posts. You are under no obligation to read or agree w/my posts.

Stop w/your BS facade.

Thanks man, I needed the laugh.

Now, back to the topic of the thread: the Olympics.

And actually, I wish I were as responsible as peen. He takes a hike pretty much every day.

This reminds me of my uncle telling me he went to HS with George Thorogood and they were friends. Not best friends, just friends. I asked him if he ever got in touch with him when he played live in his city and he said "no, I don't want to be that person who rekindles a long ago friendship simply because he is now famous".

Fair point.

One of Russia's Curlers just got busted for doping. I mean, yeah it's Russia, but in CURLING?? What can you possibly take to help you cheat in that sport? I was surprised that they actually tested for anything.

Probably one of the sweepers. I'm sure the number of sweeps per second increased dramatically w/the illegal substances.

Their first clue to test was he was sweeping like mad but after the stone had passed.

I wonder if it was something like adderol which is used to increase mental focus.

It was, apparently, meldonium.

If doping improved sweeping skills I'd give some to my wife in a heartbeat.

She'd probably be so steamed at that sexist remark she could get a couple of shirts pressed.

Apparently you are not married to someone like my wife in regards to that. She's a clean freak. Vacuuming. Laundry. Dishes. Toilets, sinks, walls, windows, garage floor, driveway.....on and on and on.

She gets it honestly, I know. Her mom, her grandma, and her great grandma - when they clean/ed, look the hell out.

And for that comment alone, my home page is showing me ads for meldonium.

My wife has many amazing qualities, that's just not one of them. Don't get me wrong, she's not some Oscar Madison type slob, she's just not the clean freak that my mom and grandma were (they were more like you describe)...

But I will say, she also gets it honestly, her mom isn't into cleaning that much either.

Since Ice Dancing is on tonight here is Torvill and Deans "Bolero" performsnce at the 1984 Olympics in Sarejevo. It is still recognized by many as the greatest ever.

I can remember it well.

I have to say this again. This is the best coverage of the Olympics that I can remember.

I'm more of a Summer Olympics kind of guy because of the track and field aspect and I am not good at any of the Winter events, but man..............kudos to NBC for a great job of covering this Olympics and making the viewing of it enjoyable.

NoDoze.

US is getting stomped in the medal tracker.

Where's the men's hockey game

Found it - CNBC...don't think I ever go to this channel except during the Olympics...

I think they played this morning. Their doing live events this year due to all the complaining from past years.

USA men are on live on CNBC... think it's a quart final

The American skaters, both men and women, are not brilliant. Every time I watch them it seems they fall.

Personally, I think the French couples (skaters) were robbed last night. As good as the Canadians were, the French seemed more artistic and elegant.

The 18 year old who did all the quads in the long program was brillent....its too bad he had a horrible short program and put himself too far behind

Canada and US playing for women's hockey gold tomorrow night. I know one of the Canadian players because she's from my neck of the woods, of course I hope they win but I think USA is due

Nathan Chen?

With exception to that long program every time I watched him he was hyped beyond belief beforehand by NBC and then he went out and fell. But I agree he did a good long program.

Men's hockey team was a huge disappointment. Not a ton of skilled players. I think we put a better Junior team on the ice during the last World Juniors Tourny. This country can do better...

Didn’t the NHL refulse to allow their players to participate? So we sent the JV team instead. Don’t complain.

US and Canada women for gold tonight.
I'll catch the score in the morning, it starts at midnight here.

Yeah, that's a rip. There's no way I can record it, make it through a whole day of work and watch it without hearing who won.

Can’t you call in patriotic?

Not a complaint. Just an observation. We can do better.
Never cared for the NHL in the Olympics anyway but we definitely have a better program than what we saw.

Sure, with some John Philip Sousa playing in the background. It's still a shame we can't see it live. Those girls genuinely dislike each other.

No kidding. The way USA Hockey has everything organized from the mini mites on up, you'd think we could put a world class team on the ice for the Olympics.

Have you downloaded the NBC app, it shows replays of all the events. I don’t think I’ve watched anything live and I’ve not missed anything I was interested in and watched a lot I didn’t know I was interested in.

They're so familiar with each other. They know each other's systems and traits and quirks that the games boil down to errors. They also get pretty physical and nasty. The American ladies have put alot of pressure on themselves to get the gold this year. Must be on mentally.
