At the halfway point of the XXIII Winter Olympics, things are certainly feeling a little chilly for both Team USA and NBC.

Waiting for the Trump hating gay skater to become a gay NBC announcer. I am sure to tunein then. Not!
I just don’t care at all. Although waiting with bated breath to see if Sally Field’s son gets a date. /s
2.) The games and commercials are heavy with homos.
Just in:
Russian athlete may lose his medal for doping...in Curling:
good grief.
Is nothing sacred?
“Russian chemist Grigory Rodchenkov apologizes ‘to all clean athletes we cheated’
Was he taking Puppy Uppers to stay awake?
Or Doggie Downers?
Honestly I don’t know, but from my understanding Curling is not that physically intensive a sport compared to others.
I was surfing last week and encountered the figure skating broadcast trio. At first I thought it was a joke, the commentating was that bad..

For the Men’s Alpine Events, the camera shots are pretty spectacular especially with the drones they’re using although with the drones, since they aren’t fixed, it’s hard to compare the particular part of the course you’re seeing between racers.

Had the figure skating broadcast trio paddled out waiting for a set?
Ha freaking ha. Hey, I got an idea, NBC, show more “boyfriends” kissing each other.
I am down to watching women’s hockey. If final is US vs CAN 6 university of Wisconsin alums will be playing
Guess what? They already have.
Saw a news report this morning that NBC has already hired Adam Rippon as a multi-platform (TV, social media) commentator for the rest of the Olympics this year.
Us, too. We’ll support our Badgers.
As an added bonus they’re pretty good about playing hockey and keeping their opinions to themselves. :)
If I want to watch a bunch of Trump-hating, flagburning pieces of $hit, I’ll sit in on my girls’ high school class.
