Same thing in the Summer Olympics a few months ago, but Floyd was probably put hooking up with the ladies on those summer nights.

In the summer Olympics, there was also a refugee team. I don't know of there is in the Winter Olympica. Most of the refugees aren't from big ski lodge type areas, so maybe not.

I suspect someone told them that they don't have to live like a refugee.

Bob. Bear with me now. What if we...stood you up...hold on, I know...at the gates of hell? Under those circumstances would you, in fact, back down?

You win. I don't know much Tom Petty (certainly not enough to rattle off lyrics), but Refugee was on a Chipmunks album that I had as a kid, so I knew that.

Yup, I saw it, but I had a mouthful of cheese and greasy fingers so I couldn’t post it.

My mom called me up crying. LOL, she's out in Hemet California and I got a real late call because she doesn't know the time difference. She did, but I guess now she forgot. Anyway, my dad graduated Iron River H.S. and my mom graduated Stambaugh H.S. which is one hill away from Iron River. Some how she knows/Knew his grandma or something. Iron River is a pretty cool little town. Most of my extended family are either living up there or buried there.
Motown, ever been to riverside pizza there?

Watching this womens skating fiasco is unreal. The dopers coaches failed her. She finished fourth. One of the Russians who medaled is refusing to take the medal stand. The Russian winner is standing there all alone as the other coaches are consoling the 4th place finisher (doper) who’s completely distraught. At some point this is just emotional abuse. These Russians girls (kids) are so abused by their skating committees

Why the refusal to take the stand?

US needs 1 more gold for me to win the over bet.

In general, a bummer with the women's hockey. I thought they were going to win it.

I think she felt guilty? She eventually did.

NBC translated the first words her coach said to her when she got off the ice. "why did you throw that away"......

The favorite who fell. The 15yr old.

I hope she responded to him that she fell because she didn't deserve to be competing. But probably not.

Imagine the frustration in the 15yr old prodigy you drugged, not winning. It was so weird seeing the winner holding a teddy bear and not a soul is with her congratulating her. They're all with the 4th place girl.

I've decided I'm officially over the Olympics after this one. Was even over curling by the end of this.

This poor Fin. I would’ve skipped the heat pack and just rubbed it furiously until it warmed up.

Yes, by an historic margin. Team USA grabbed gold in every competition it was involved in, and a few they weren’t.
