I understand why this sucks, but this is the most lame duck network primetime opening for the Olympics ever. NBC has a completely artificial invented team figure skating event, and on NBC Sports they have practice for men's downhill and a mixed doubles curling match (another invented event) between China and Canada.

Oh, and there's so much going on tonight/this morning, that they re-air Nathan Chen's horrific performance on NBC Sports 10 or so minutes after it aired LIVE~!~!~!~! on NBC. 2/8/2018 9:15:38 PM |

My favorite part when they decided Bryant Gumbel was more important than the French guy's performance. Then they skipped the Israeli guy for commercials, but were fine with PiP live coverage during commercials to watch Chen on the bench?
What is this trash coverage? 2/8/2018 9:25:09 PM |

Jesus, we have 28 medals already? They haven't even had the opening ceremonies yet.
I do love the Olympics though. Can't wait to veg out this weekend watching random events. 2/8/2018 9:31:21 PM |

Haven't you heard of the U.N.? There was a U.N. resolution where the U.S.A. automatically gets 25 medals in every olympics. 2/8/2018 9:33:11 PM |

Alpine skiing events all getting delayed due to high winds. They're going to be holding one right after another.
I have my contempt of figure skating as much as the next guy, but the Russian chick that just went (Zagitova), her performance was beautiful.

I cant fathom why the USA Curling teams are all so bad.
The M/F team got obliterated by Finland.
Also figure skating is dumb, but that Russian chick did kill it.
Also, I, Tonya was a good movie. 2/12/2018 1:36:09 PM |

If you haven't seen it, check out the American female luger's crash. Had to get x-rays done on her back, but everything came back fine.
Watched a lot of short track speedskating tonight, why don't they hold the match racing on the larger speedskating oval? It's entertaining, but holding it on the short track and the seemingly random referee decisions makes it all a bit of a lottery. If it's on the larger oval it gives more passing avenues with the longer straights. I know the long track has the free skate, which I've never seen. Maybe I'll try to catch it.
Apolo Ohno on commentary as the U.S. were in 4th out of 4 with a gap during the men's team relay: "This is going to be very difficult for the American team if they do not speed up." Well, no shit. 2/13/2018 10:50:56 PM |

Kind of hope the men get slammed so Gary Bettman gets massacred by the press. I'm sure his TV partner are also happy.
As far as the women, the sport only has 2 teams. The 3rd-best team are the Finns who required their goalie to stand on her head to lose 3-1. 2/14/2018 11:00:20 AM |

I keep hearing "raised money to send her to korea".
Is this a metaphor for the cost of training and maintaining a caeer or do we actually make our athletes pay for their own trip to korea? I would've thought all olympics athletes get a travel stipend that covers all cost to get to and compete in the olympics once they qualify. 2/18/2018 7:32:33 PM |
