Man ice dancing is so terrible.

Glad we get a couple hours of it each night

There is apparently one move and only one move in ice dancing, and it is called a “twizzle.” These are the people who couldn’t cut it as figure skaters. It is so bad that when a couple fell last night, the commentator basically said “well, they’re done. There’s so little that sets these competitors apart that if you fall that’s devastating.” There’s not that much to set them apart because “twizzling” is not exactly a triple axel.

Every competitor has also evidently been instructed to fall to the ice, flail, and weep (the other maneuver, called a “fleep”) at the end of their routine. Something on the order of “you just discovered cold fusion while simultaneously learning that your mom died.”

I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

I respect that chick for gaming the system and making a mockery of the Olympics. The IOC deserves to be mocked.

our women's two person bobsled team may have the two best in the whole shooting match deal or whatever. enjoyed watching them fly down the ice slide at incredibly scary speeds that would make me pee my pants.

Also I prefer ice dancing to couples figure skating, by quite a bit

That crap had me in tears laughing.

Also I'm pretty sure she works in SF with a friend of mine
So my friend doesn't know her but she's the talk of their office. Apparently her friends don't understand why the media is slamming her and he doesn't think she has a sense of humor about it.

I think our women’s hockey team would beat the men this year. They looked sharp tonight. Worth staying up.

Can’t wait for the movie. It’s gonna be like the sequel to Miracle.
