For me, it was Dorothy Hamill, had the biggest schoolboy crush on her back in the day.

Wow, what a sport’s story/crime story was the Nancy and Tonya saga.

I wonder if I TONYA was a decent film?

Ah, yes. Dorothy Hamill sure was cute. '76 was a good year for schoolboy crushes. Dorothy Hamill, Cheryl Tiegs, Farrah Fawcett. Great time to be a boy.

If you choose to participate in sketchy, subjective sports like figure skating or college football you run the risk of feeling like you got jobbed. Sounds like she lost because of an unpleasant personality.

Yeah, I think there was some backlash over the decision to send her over Mirai Nigasu to the last Olympics.

Why not? I just like the fact that all the SEC fans are all butt-hurt about it. Why do they care? Let them have their fun. Falsely claiming National Championships is an old tradition in college football.

Rotten Tomatoes gave it 4.5 stars. I’m adding it to my Netflix queue.
