For others who are as well, feel free to join the conversation! Years ago I loved the Winter Olympics... back to when Jim McKay hosted for ABC. Nowadays, NBC has turned the competition into a human interest soap opera. No thanks. Oh, and get off my lawn! Hook 'Em! 3 Quote

4thandFive Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Some people say ya know they can’t believe….Jamaica we got a bobsled team. We got the one Derese, and the one Junior, Yul Brenner, and the man Sanka. The fastest of the fastest of Jamaican sprinters. Come to Olympics, fight for Jamaica. 1 Quote
Rocky P Posted February 8 Posted February 8 Just eatched the snowboard big air competition. 1) 17 year old american Ollie Martin got 4th while competing with a broken arm. Crazy 2) how do they spin all those times and not stumble around??? They sre spinning and flipping and grabbing all at the same time. Absolutely ridiculous Quote
Junior Posted February 8 Posted February 8 Yea no thanks. After what happened during the 2024 opening ceremony in Paris, I’m done with the Olympics. Quote
TonyG Posted February 8 Posted February 8 Oh wow! Lindsey Vonn just crashed very badly at the Women's Downhill and was airlifted off to hospital. Safe to say she wasn't ready for this competition after her recent ACL rupture. Quote

I had to work and missed most of it, but was so happy to see one of my favs, Marchand, get that assist and his first Olympic point. Will be watching the US game, though! On a side note, I watched last night’s livestream on replay and you def have to watch Varsity Blues! Glad you’re adding it to the list! Quote

Agreed that hockey players are unusually tough and resilient. Way back in the late '60s and early '70s my Scouting troop was among the volunteer ushers at minor league hockey games in Dallas ( Chicago Blackhawks) and Fort Worth (Detroit Redwings) and I became a hockey fan watching the games after the fans were seated. Decades later my employer had season tickets to the Dallas Stars games and I got to go to many games and really appreciated the skill and toughness of the NHL players. Finally, RIP Houston Aeros. 1 Quote
MJW2327 Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago That game was so electric, Jack Hughes literally gave his teeth for the gold. Great to see the team so proud to represent the USA, hats off to them, nearly a 50 year gold mens hockey drought - no more! McKinnon saying Canada was still the best team post-game after getting the silver and a beanie baby handed to him. The Dallas Stars will turn him into a cry baby again this post season, just like last year ya JACKASS 1 Quote
ChanmanV Posted 2 minutes ago Posted 2 minutes ago The stories and narratives of this Olympics has probably made it one of my favorites of all time. The hockey teams winning in dramatic fashion, Shiffrin finally getting that monkey off her back, Meyers Taylor finally getting the gold in bobsled, Jordan Stolz just starting his Olympic legacy, and Alysa friggin' Liu (and the other women figure skaters) showing us all that you can succeed in sports being a vessel of pure joy and sportsmanship. Milano Cortina A++++. Quote
