They're showing the two-man super sliders now. Except that I think there are girls in them.

Anyhow, they appear to go pretty fast. I'd love to ride in a super-slider someday.

Hope we get US/Canada round 2, the first one was fantastic.

I do too. If we happen to get that far, I'd be perfectly happy with either outcome, provided the game is exciting.

Dang. South Korea disqualified in circle skating. Bumped a Chinachick. Looked inadvertant but, predictably, the Chinachick took it personally.

Still, the US circle skaters got a Bronze out of the deal.

Canada just destroyed the Russians. They came to play, and Russia didn't. They were tougher, faster, and won every battle. Sweden/Slovakia next, and as always, anybody can win these games, but if Canada keeps playing like that, they are close to unstoppable.

nbcolympics.com has about 5 commercials, and they show them over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over... sometimes they'll show the same one 3 times in a row.

Wow. South Korea in a controversial DQ in the women's short track relay. USA was blown away by the field in a distant 4th, but backed into a bronze medal they probably didnt deserve. Whatever, we'll still take it.

Ever watched Don Cherry?

I think the DQ was justified. People always look at the arms and upper-body, but I dont think thats what the judges saw.

The Korean girl's skate jammed right into the Chinese girl's skate, almost took her foot right out from under her. China was lucky that she merely lost speed and kept her feet. Without that skate-blade-bump, it would have been a close finish.

I didn't see enough replays, so I make a lousy judge or commentator. But, the guy reporting on the circle skating said something about the Chinachick "stepping on the Korean's skate". If so, would that not be the first, and therefore, real foul? I don't understand these rules.

Crap. Now it looks like they're going to show skate spinners all night. There need to be more contact sports in the winter Olympics, you know? Ice wrestling, or something.

Unfortunately, no... I think I saw him on ESPN a time or two with Melrose, and haven't ever looked for him online.... and for some reason I've never looked for him online

On channel CNBC, they're showing hockey instead of skate spinning. There's guys in white jerseys playing guys in red jerseys. The red jersey guys are playing great defense.

He's funny....games like this are just validation for his arguments about Russians and Europeans. You're missing out.
