    Oops!

    Congrats to him too!

    But if I ever see him on the side of the road begging for money I'm going to stop and yell at him!

    Shaun White was dominant. He's got a grip on that sport like Team USA and Canada do on women's hockey.

    I never thought I'd say this about a figure skater, but that Russian dude Plushenko was pretty badass. He called out other skaters' masculinity for not attempting the quad and went ahead to win gold.

    Curling is a surprisingly interesting sport.

    Ummmm no he didn't. Plushenko got silver. Lysacek took the gold.

    USA! USA! USA!

    BTW, do you realize this is the first time Plushenko has finished 2nd in the last 6 years, and only the third since Yagudin retired in 2002? Despite Lysacek being the reigning world champion (a competition Plushenko doesn't attend), this was a huge upset.

    Nope, didn't know all that. Don't follow skating. This is what happens when you let the gf get the TV remote.

    Wow, that Johnny Weir guy, can you say, "Flaaaaaaaammmmmmming!"

    I always thought curling was a top 3 sport at the Winter games.

    Yeah, but he's a showman. Dude was totally robbed, both last night and on Tuesday. No way he should've been as low as 6th. Oh well, that's the problem with judged "sports"; probably why I prefer basketball.

    Dude wins a snowboarding gold, and he's "the shit".

    Chick wins two skiing silvers, and all we care about is that she's a hottie.

    Sad...

    That isn't sad. Quit complaining about everything.

    I make one salient observation, and Ronan thinks I'm complaining about everything.

    Sad... ;)

    "I didn't win silver, I won platinum!"
    I really like this idea, so even if the Blazers don't win the NBA championship trophy we can award ourselves something like the Stanley Cup, the Stern Cup maybe?

    Instead of championship ring each player can be given a championship piercing.
