To steal a line from the late great Johnny Carson: "I did not know that - That is weird, wild stuff"

We're a strange breed.

Also, we do actually just call them holes. We're not that strange.

Okay, I might be, but I cannot speak for the rest of them.

You need to stop playing goal then. We can't have wackos tarnishing our stellar reputation.

Someone asked this at Hockey Practice and I really don't know.

It seems like the US has entered every single event in this Olympics. How many other countries are competing in every single event?

Would guess Sweden, Russia, Canada. Anyone else?

I don't know ice dancing, but I do know ballroom, and the Russians just didn't seem to be truly dancing to me. The distinctions are lost on me, but it seemed like the judging went in line largely with how I felt about the routines as dances.

both tandems skated very well.
Any sport/event that relies on scoring will always be scutinized.As for saying the Americans and Russians are in cahoots-have some hard evidence to back it up before you make allegations.

Or as I always say-SHIT HAPPENS!

On a side note-other than hockey,I have to admit that the mens and womens snowboarding events have been fantastic.

Heimlich?

If so I hope they win because it's educational. Better than the could who did the "stop, drop, and roll" routine.

Chris Robanske gets dq'ed in his quarter final for an illegal bump, while the Russian and US riders do almost the same thing and end up with silver and bronze....yeah, that pretty much sums it up.
