Wow..I read that with Johnny Spillane's silver today, is the first time USA has won a medal in Nordic Combined

 

[BlackLantern]

Spillane looked like he was about to die when he crossed...Cross Country skiing is the devil

 

[Immortalfire]

yeah, it seems every competitor that comes across just gets down and both knees and cries. I do actually enjoy watching the sport. Don't know why

 

[BlackLantern]

it's because it's such an endurance thing....you can actually see these guys tapping into every bit of energy they've got

 

[Ziggyman]

True...but only for 2 weeks...

 

[BlackLantern]

and I can still hate Sydney Crosby

Indeed, they probably burn more energy than any other event.

 

[Ziggyman]

I hate Crosby as well...but for these 2 weeks...I have no choice...

Is Olympic Hockey going to be relevant in four years if the NHL doesn't return?

some would argue that Olympic hockey was better before they let the NHL players participate

 

[Immortalfire]

The "McNuggets are the food of champions" commercial is hilarious

 

[BlackLantern]

everyone knows the McGriddle (sausage and cheese, no egg...no egg goddammit or I will ****ing smack you) is the real food of champions

 

[Ziggyman]

Oh my...Wotherspoon didn't choke...at least for now...

Yes, and I would be one of them. Those kids gave everything they got with all their heart (think women's hockey), as for them that was the biggest thing in their lives. There was no going back to their NHL team (at least not yet).

 

[BlackLantern]

eh...I would prefer the NHL players there, but if they aren't I'll still watch and cheer them on

 

[BlackLantern]

They just figure skated the **** out of that rink

Thanks Immortalfire! I've been trying to look for what the hell that name of the theme is for like the past 10 years, I first heard it from a commodore 64 game... thanks!
