2/11/2006 3:22:13 PM

we're recording the olympics using mythtv. we've planned so that we record pretty much every event except figure skating and women's hockey...

2/11/2006 5:14:02 PM

Oh the excitement of watching Canada beat Italy 16-0 in women's hockey.

The luge, though. That shit is awesome.

2/11/2006 5:23:53 PM

^^^maybe next time they should include some thug and redneck sports to amuse americans

the luge was good today, and cross country skiing was suprisingly exciting




***SPOILER ALERT***











































The US has their first gold, in speed skating. that airs later tonight.

don't worry, espn ruined it this morning

2/11/2006 7:15:00 PM

Well one medal (gold) isnt too bad for day 1, but we have to do some damage to win the medal count for the first time. The ladies moguls skiiers really let us down.

2/11/2006 10:49:34 PM

USA! USA!

[/the word]

2/12/2006 12:18:18 AM

I dont think the Olympics is a sport. It's a fucking Soap Opera.


Seriously, I do not care if someone was molested as a child, had to paint houses in the offseason to afford to travel, gives out M&M minis on Halloween, or drinks low pulp orange juice.


They spend 30 minutes giving the life story about someone I've never heard of and then he/she takes part in an event that lasts 75 seconds.

And Im suppose to care that he/she can skate/ski/maneuver three microseconds faster than anyone else in the world.


I'm truly amazed that anyone is captivated by the Olympics. Would I have an awesome time in Torino where coke & strippers run rampant? Absolutely. But do I care who lost their little brother to cerebal palsy and then managed to put the grief behind them to become the fourth best luge specialist in the world? Absolutely not.

They don't market the sport, they market the story.


And Jim Nantz is the biggest sissy ever. I bet $10 he wears panties during the broadcast.

2/12/2006 2:53:26 AM

oh i would take you up on that if we had a way to find out.

2/12/2006 3:02:52 AM

nantz doesn't even work for nbc

how the hell do you not know that

things are not looking good thus far for the states.

2/13/2006 7:06:07 PM

i saw the "CURRENT" biopic about these double people (USA azn girl, white dude)

shame to see they didn't nail the moves

2/13/2006 9:52:40 PM

One of the US women in the luge got knocked out cold halfway down the course. Always interesting when the last part of the course is navigated by a limp body.

2/13/2006 10:10:42 PM

Greensboro's Joey Cheek won gold last night. There's someone from Gaston County named Clay Mull that is also on the US speed skating team.

2/14/2006 2:55:08 PM

omg weir, do u have to dress like a woman and prance around?

Men's hockey begins in less than two hours.

2/15/2006 3:11:32 AM

Sweden 7, Kazakhstan 2 (in USA's group)

Canada 7, Italy 2 (in other group)

Saw the first period of the Canada-Italy game before I went to work. Italy actually played pretty well for the first period, they were only down 1-0. In the early 2nd period they actually tied before the expected Canadian onslaught occurred.

Why aren't they showing any of the USA matches in primetime? I know they're showing them live, but I'd rather see that than some American figure skater that thinks he's a bad boy that pushes the line.

2/15/2006 9:46:54 AM

Switzerland upsets the Czech Republic 3-2 in men's hockey

2/16/2006 9:19:51 AM

Aebby played his ass off.

Russia is currently PWNing Sweden, 3-0 after two.

2/16/2006 11:28:28 AM

so did anyone see the 11pm sportscenter where scott van pelt and the other guy (weir?) were hardcore making fun of some figure skater who was whining a lot and listed like a whole novel of excuses? bc it was pretty funny. anyone?

did anyone see lindsey jacobellis' fall tonight

had a huge lead after wrecks and collisions in the snowboarder X final, so she decides to pull a method air on the second to last jump, and busts, losing the gold medal and coming in second

maybe the biggest olympic idiot of all time

2/17/2006 10:54:26 PM

Somebody told me about it this morning, but I wasn't prepared for how stupid that looked.

2/17/2006 11:00:52 PM

it didnt look as bad in real time


When they slow it down, it looks retarded, but in normal speed you can tell she got screwed up on the jump.

2/17/2006 11:41:41 PM

Gerber is 5 minutes away from a shutout against Canada.

2/18/2006 11:54:09 AM

GERBER! 2-0 the final! First time Canada has been shutout since 1988 against the Soviets.

51 saves I believe for Gerber. Switzerland was outshot something like 26-3 in the third period.
