What did you think of the Olympics?

I can't watch anything with Johnny Weir in it without busting out laughing.

not only that, they showed very few medal ceremonies. and yes, I thought some of the human interest stories went a bit long.

Curling is not a sport.

I noticed this, too. Hardly saw any.

Don't forget that during the opening ceremonies NBC glossed over communism in the USSR as "one of modern history's pivotal experiments.

The coverage was total B.S it reminded me of groundhog day same thing over and over and over every channel. What a shame for the athletes work that hard to hit the big stage for everyone to see and nuttin.

I'd be willing to bet that curling was probably invented by a bunch of guys that were cooped up in a bar drinking and one day they decided to go outside and see if they could use rocks on ice like a summer Boccie Ball court.

Now I'm probably wrong, but it just seems to fit.

Big Time!!!
Curling is a pretty big game up here (imagine that another one on ice) and seams to be very popular with the beers. I spent many hours watching my parents playing after my hockey games or practices. The rinks use the same parking lot in my home town a pretty good childhood memory spent there.

The flip side I got to admit when some of the women's teams are playing sweep HARDER SWEEEEEP!!!!
