HIGHLIGHTS (in no particular order):
- For the most part Americans living up to the expectations in their individual sports
- USA 4 Man Bobsled coming out of no where to take Gold
- Apollo Ohno just dominating, and seems like an all-around nice guy
- Watching the Canadian Figure Skater come through despite the unexpected loss of her mother
- Shaun White simply going bigger and higher than everyone else
- Ryan Miller standing on his head for 6 games, with a minor mental lapse in OT of the Gold Medal Game...the MVP of the tournament was well deserved.
LOWLIGHTS (in no particular order):
- The sad story of the Georgian Luger
- The American Ski Team spats between Vonn and ManCuso
- The Russian Male Figure Skater being sour over 2nd place...get over yourself you fairy
- Overall NBC coverage, headed by having to listen to Bob Costas, night in and night out.
- Watching human interest pieces by Mary Carillo, as she tries out for the Canadian Royal Mounted Police, or mushing with a blind snow-dog
- Mike Milbury...Mike Milbury...Mike Milbury
NEUTRAL (in no particular order):
- Why does the world get so entralled with Curling? Everyone is waiting for a big moment to happen, and it never really does (for what it is worth, I am guilty of it as well)
- Nice to not hear any stories about Performance Enhancing Drugs this go around
- I still have not figured out the whole Ice Dancing thing yet...but that is ok...I did not really watch any of it anyway.
- I would like to try a bi-athlon...chances are I would fall, and shoot myself in the back of the head though.
- Interesting how the Beijing and Vancouver games were affected by weather so much
- Kind of excited for London 2012...less so for Sochi 2014
