I can't be the only person who is fired up for the Olympics? Love the Olympics. There are only a handful of sports I refuse to watch (figure skating, curling, ski jumping). I love the ones where it is 6 snowboarders or skiers lined up and they race down a narrow track with lots of jumps. Those always end with some spectacular pile ups. Also love short track speed skating for the same reason.

My guilty pleasure is cross country skiing. Don't know why, but I really enjoy it. It helps that the announcer treats every second of it like it's the final 5 seconds of a thrilling down to the wire game. Never heard an announcer gets as excited about his sport as this guy does about cross country skiiing.

Plenty of other great sports....downhill skiiing, all the bobsled/luge/skeleton events and I'm probably forgetting a bunch more.


No NHL players which is fine with me. I'll actually be watching the women's hockey for selfish reasons. As a coach for the old man Maccabi team next summer in Israel, there isn't a sport out there that resembles old man no check hockey better than elite women's hockey. I'll be paying close attention to see what systems they are running and if they are doing anything with the offensive zone cycle that I'm not already aware of.

With events happening overnight I'll be going off the grid like I always do so you won't see me posting in here much since I'll usually be about 16 hours behind the coverage.

I will watch a little if it's on Peacock, but I hate the US coverage. I much prefer how Eurosport used to do it, where it's 12 hours live and 12 hours replay and it's all sporting events from start to finish and no human interest.

I usually catch a little when channel surfing, but I can't stand any Olympics set in Asia or Australia. There's even less drama.

Honestly I didn't realize that the games were this year until a couple of weeks ago.

I also am fascinated by the strategy behind curling. The premise of the game is so straightforward, but the amount of foresight, strategy and skill required to win an end has always impressed me.

I can agree with this. I just can't believe its an Olympic event though. It seems like something drunk Canadians thought up while ice fishing.

One of my favorite young squirrel memories was attending the 88 olympics in Calgary.. It was damn cold.

Funny thing is that with every Winter Olympics, I still hear Jim McKay.

Tell me which type of Chinese food you’ll be eating during the opening ceremonies and I’ll tell you why you’re wrong.

Who are our darlings this time?
