The only reason I watch the Olympics is to see what Johnny Weir is wearing. And his hair.
If they brought Doc Emrick out of retirement to do the hockey, I would watch that.

Re: commentators, Dave Letterman’s mom’s interview with Mosley after he won gold was outstanding. He was high as shit and I have no clue how being Japan and all. Talking about how thick Japanese bread was to her. Priceless.
Tom Green in Torino interviewing non-English speaking fans was good too.I still call it The Jake.

No, I meant, like, ever.
Gawd, the Olympics are so fucked up.

"IOC officials warned in the bid evaluation report in June 2015 that Yanqing, the venue for downhill skiing and slalom, and Zhangjiakou, the venue for cross-country skiing, ski jumping and snowboarding events, had meagre annual snowfalls. “[They] have minimal annual snowfall and for the Games would rely completely on artificial snow,” they said."

Ben, I for one look forward to your breakdown of the river of Yen flowing to the IOC that led to these (very admittedly absurd) games.
Once these are done we can move on to the World Cup in Qatar.I still call it The Jake.

Even when they choose a place like Vancouver, BC, which has some of the snowiest mountains on earth nearby, the actual venues are down low where it doesn't snow and they have to truck in snow. They don't want natural snow for the events in the Winter Olympics.

Yeah, Cortina. What happened? A real ski town with real snow.

Well, yeah, there's bad years, every hill has them, but, then there's just bad places.

Wait until bunny finds out they build artificial rivers for summer events - kayaking canoeing etc. And the swimming events are held in pools! What's wrong with lakes and ponds?

Winter Olympics 2022
Snooze-fest.
They need Snoop Dog to cover the ski events. His coverage during the Summer Olympics was awesome. During the Equestrian events “that horse be Crip walkin...”
His narration during Slopestyle should be equally entertaining.

Are we forgetting that behind the scenes work for the Olympics is what started the bat/rat flu thread on here?

oh, and Bob Costas is an asshole. He and his family cut in front of me and about 100 other weary business travelers in an Atlanta international airport security line, by telling the TSA person "I'm Bob Costas".
