...and its now over. Our last guy managed to salvage a bronze. Canada finally got their precious home gold medal that they have been whining about. That dirtbag Australian who made millions off a malware/adware company got silver.

If you need a reason to keep watching this delayed stuff tonight, apparently I'm reading that the last guy to go was a Frenchie who put together a good run, didnt get the scores he thought he deserved, and is pissed about it.

Dale Begg-Smith was involved with (and made a ton of money off of) a company called "ValueAd". Here's an investigative report from an Australian paper: http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2006/...191842651.html

The Canadian olympic committee basically told him to stop or he probably wouldnt be allowed to compete any longer. So he went to Australia, which allowed him to continue his business and compete for the Australian team.

You'd whine too if it took 33 goddamn years to win a gold medal at home. Let us have this, how 'bout?

That was one hell of a run...

So, wonder how long it'll be till Bilodeau tests positive for something and Canada loses another gold? :)

Hey, nothing personal but this is like watching the Cubs take a 4-1 lead at game 7 of the World Series. Jokes speculating how they are gonna screw it up yet again are expected!

So how does that work? How do you fall on your ass and still manage to be in 3rd place??
