I cut the cord and watched CBC’s Olympic coverage via VPN, since they’ll post the entire event online whereas NBC requires you to have a cable provider for its online coverage.

The Canadian team prattled on about Ledecká’s background story until 15 seconds left in the run when they realized what she was doing and…

I said in another thread Shiffrin looks really tired right now. The end of her GS-winning run her core was getting noodly & she looked like she might buckle right there in the runout area. Might also have some sickness issues. It was certainly a good idea to skip the SuperG, and she’s likely thinking really hard…

For you math teachers out there, when a student asks, “What do we need this for?”, you can respond, “To own people in the comments section.”

Don’t you go bringing math into this

No, she won by about 10 inches. She was going 90 km/hr

technically, decathletes compete in ten different sports in the same olympics

Haven’t watched a men’s figure skating competition in probably 20 years, so I’m not even a casual fan, but Hanyu just seems to be competing in a different sport than anybody else on the ice. Not knocking the other skaters, who were all great, but it’s like Gretzky showing up as a rookie and the best players in the NHL…

Sadly, this means that no matter how many golds Shiffrin wins in the future, either in these Games or future ones, she’ll never be able to break the record for most golds won, which will be held by her equipment.

Her reaction was so great. Moments like that are why I love the Olympics. That, and when NBC talks up Vonn and other MURICA ONLY athletes as always being shoo-ins to medal and then they don’t even make the podium.

Her reaction is truly priceless. She literally thinks there is some sort of timing malfunction, lol. 

I think she’s the first person to compete in 2 different sports in the same olympics... now has a chance to get a medal in each. Impressive.

Agreed. Publishers know how to sell the package. A true, shirtless man of leisure would be an interesting change of pace, however.

Yes to the Golden Girls — please let it stay feel-good viewing. Bob Ross shows too, I hope.

There have been shows about what it was like behind the scenes at Married With Children, and they had far more women on the crew than most shows back then. They knew it was supposed to be subversive and satirical. It may just be one of those cases where the most convincing assholes are played by the nicest people.

Ed O’Neill doesn’t strike me as someone who is controlling, despite his character (the show was basically a running joke about how powerless he was), and Katey Sagal seems like someone who would speak out even back then but definitely today. The one guy I would be most worried about is David Faustino, but he was very…

At least all of the characters were open with their depravity
