See the interview with the American gold medal winners?

"Like wow man! It was awesome! Totally tubular! Dude!"


Really? I wasn't aware any of them were that coherent. The Flying Tomato
was attempting to be too kewl and avoid looking touched by winning a gold,
but he broke down on the stand during the US National Anthem. The *fringe
dude* routine is just that: an act. And it's really insipid to watch.

Goes to show how few manly men are left.


Some of the women must be manly, too, 'cause that downhill is a
sonuvabitch. And it's icy as hell.

Every NRA member knows what the biathalon is!


Amen. Love to watch it. I love those .22s with the straight action
bolts. Not sure how they can be so accurate when their chests are heaving
from skiing hard for several miles before stopping to shoot. Some manly
women there, too.

And the problem is...?


Okay, okay--that's why we all go X-C skiing: to be in the wilderness.
But this is THE Olympics, where people watch. So where are they?


Proves there are more manly women than manly men. Who wouldn't want to
see women fight?


Proves, actually, that no one cares to see reorganized NHL teams, any more
than they care to see the organized NHL teams. NHL sucks. College hockey
rules !

Manly, yes, but they're all waiting for disaster!


Doesn't happen much anymore. I miss that "ecstacy of victory, agony of
defeat" clip.

On a serious note, Avery Brundage fought for decades to keep
professionalism out of the Olympics. Ultimately he was overruled, and
it's damaged the games beyond repair, IMO. Only the relatively non-pro
sports, such as Biathlon, Luge, Skeleton, Bobsled, Curling, etc. hold my
interest any longer. I couldn't care less about snowboard, freestyle
skiing, alpine, men's hockey, and the other pro-based events. Many of us
remember the "miracle on ice" at the Lake Placid 1980 Games, when the US
amateur hockey team beat the highly-pro Russians and went on to win the
gold. That event will never be repeated under the current paradigm.

It was tragic when the IOC stooped to the lowest common denominator on the
pro issue. Instead of fighting to keep the games truly amateur, they caved
and let everyone get paid for doing what they do. Now we have millionaires
playing basketball, hockey, skiing, skating, etc. And NBC would have us
believe that these poor, downtrodden athletes have sacrificed everything to
get to the Olympics. Hogwash. If the governments of the world follow the

easier to acquiesce to the elements in the toilet than fight for what is

In its present iteration, the Olympics should be eliminated. Then new games
could begin with amateurs again. Used to be that an Olympic gold medal was
worth somewhere around a couple of million dollars to the athlete who was
fortunate enough to win one. Now many athletes can't even recall when they
"earned" their first two million.

When I coached youth baseball, which I did for about 10 years the
hardest position to fill was catcher. Seems like those that could
didn't want to and those that wanted to suffered from bat swing blink.
One of my sons caught for a number of those seasons, however
reluctantly. He was always beat up.

Ever consider that aerial stuff is really not for someone of any age. It
all just shows up later in life.

Look at all the young age mogul fiends getting new hips later in life.


My knees began to give me problems in college after the better part of 10
years as a catcher. I still suffer some issues with them. Your point is
well taken.

When I coached youth baseball, which I did for about 10 years the
hardest position to fill was catcher. Seems like those that could
didn't want to and those that wanted to suffered from bat swing blink.
One of my sons caught for a number of those seasons, however
reluctantly. He was always beat up.

Max bears the scaars to this day....

Only 4 Sundays to a month.

What calendar are you using?


Amen!

So you won't come to the US during a month of Sundays, which never
occurs.


He didn't say 'during' a month of Sundays, he said 'in' a month of
Sundays, which occurs every 30 or 31 weeks.

If we send you to Canada do we get Mooron in return?

Not in a month of Sundays would I ever set foot again in your country.

How about any time else? You're always welcome to come and visit and even
move here. Americans are friendly!

Amen!

You can own your own business and pay yourself dividends and a very low
salary.

Then again I could move to Canada and suckle at the government teat like
someone else we know and . . . um, know.



When you start payin' 49% of your income in taxes and Pension, EI and
Health Care..... then you can talk to me.... until then.... I'll keep
filing online and collecting what I paid into.

Mooron, any American that makes any kind of real income usually pays more
than 40%...unless he's lucky enough to be some muti-mollionaire with
Cayman Isalnd tax shelters...

Gosh, Mooron you sound like the paranoid one. Homeland Security is the
21st Century version of the Keystone Cops. Look at all the weight lifting
equipment and entertainment centers it paid for in all the fire and police
departments across the country.


No thanks...... too many "Canadians" have found themselves in a Syrian
Prison. Plus I would need to apply for a VISA to enter. That alone would
place me on a list.


So come on down! Americans are friendly!


Yup they sure'nuf are.....


You ain't nobody if you're not on a list!


I ain't nobody now..... let's leave it that way shall we.


So big, bad Mooron is afraid to visit America? Come on, you must be
kidding!


Afraid..... Nah.... not willing to submit to retinal scans, and
fingerprinting... Shure.


Even Capt Rob isn't afraid of NY! And you are????


Robert is an American..... he is the prime example of a NYC'r


So Robbie has more guts than you?? Is that what I'm hearing?????


Robert has no option..... he has a fear of travelling anywhere.


Say it ain't so!


It ain't so..... I just wouldn't ever set foot in your country again is
all.
Anyway.... I hate overpopulated towns separated by billboards.

You on the other hand could move to Canada.....

Hah... no criminal record, cleared for security to enter Diamond Cutting
Facilities, Cleared on Interpol, Permit for restricted weapons, Cleared for
Diamond Mine High Security Zone entry, Security Clearance for Airside
Operations at Airports..... it would be a breeze to gain access to the USA

I just don't like your country! .... get over it!

I won't even take a flight that stops in the USA.....
