More Olympic twithering

I used to live one street over from — not shitting you — Scott Hamilton Avenue, in Bowling Green, Ohio. He’s from there, so they named a street after him. And now when I see him on the T.V., doing his Olympic armchair-lutzing, I just have to giggle a little bit.
Dear Google searchers: I can’t tell you whether Apolo Anton Ohno is gay or how you might be able to, ah, have intimate relations with him. Sorry. But thanks for visiting!
Also: Bode Miller Suckwatch. Heh.
Let me sum up Baltimore’s evening newscasts: “Kimmie Meisner, Kimmie Meisner, blah blah blah Kimmie Kimmie Meisner.”
I am loving the Shani Davis/Chad Hedrick soap opera.

We’re waiting for the 500-meter speedskating race to start right now, meanwhile suffering through more figure-skating nonsense. Know what makes me mad? I don’t think they’re broadcasting curling on the networks. How unfair.

They’re broadcasting curling on NBC’s cable networks. I read an article this morning that said it’s doubled their ratings for those networks. I’m still not sure how to react to that revelation, though.

That’s what I love about my ability to see the Olympics on government owned TV. No need to pull ratings so they show everything. I watched curling today between Switzerland and Sweden. To me it was like Who Cares vs. So What but it was curling so I was digging it.

Of course being in the same time zone as the Olympics does help. If you have to rely on tape delay and having it crammed into three hours you get skunked.

So what I’m getting is, people living in the U.S. without cable are getting hosed on their Olympic coverage. Sounds about right!
