My Olympic opinion from last night....

From my observation...

I'm loving that our kid from Illinois, Evan Lysacek, won the gold medal in men's figure skating!!!!! That was just too cool!!! Plushenko just can't handle it either. He's bad mouthing E.L. all over the place saying that he shouldn't have won because he didn't do a quad. Did you hear what Evan's mother said? She said, "you shouldn't win if the only thing you can do is a quad!!" You go Mom!!! I just wanted to slap that look off Plushenko's face at the medal ceremony. Bad loser.

Another thing that bothered me, and maybe it's just me, was when Shaun White received his gold medal and the national anthem was playing. Couldn't he just be respectful through the whole thing? He just had to act up and play "air guitar" toward the end of the anthem. I thought that was so rude. I know he was excited and all but I think the snowboarders kind of go by a different set of rules anyway. I think all gold medal winning athletes should be instructed to put their hands over their hearts and sing the anthem loud and proud!!! Just MHO...I think that would be nice.

I felt bad for Lindsey Vonn falling on her 2nd run. Glad she has at least one gold medal so far. Now to the Super G for her.

Ice Dancing tonight...I love it.

Just Judy.......oh I love your name! My mother was Judy. Julia, actually, but she always wanted to be called Judy. One of many things I kept of hers is a little pillow that's been embroidered with "Judy, Judy, Judy" on it.

Deb, we are not alone........everyone I know who wouldn't miss the winter Olympics no matter what have said they are boring and they couldn't get into them .......and I have figured it out all by my big old self.....lol......


Look while they are ice dancing, they are good at what they do but look beyond the skaters what do you see? ONLY...........VANCOUVER 2010........


In years gone by there were ads all around the rink.....remember? And just as soon as the skating stopped they went to watch the skaters get their score and then another pair went on the ice???? No more not at all.......here is how it goes now.


The pair comes on skates go to commercial.....when they get back the second pair is there and what did the first pair do? Maybe they will tell you or maybe they will break to go to the hockey......not for the metal hockey just to the hockey because the US and CAN. were playing and the US was ahead.......don't tell me that couldn't have waited till the break.....When they came back they said we will get back to ice dancing sometime later but first we have bobsled....in between there was 5 commercials.......no wonder they can't hold anyone's attention......it seems like 2 year olds put this on......Sorry NBC you may be the network I watch the most but I hope that some other network gets the next Olympics.....


Boring and a waste of time for this one I am afraid.....


Years ago we could sit and watch the whole night I mean this is even in our realm of time for Pete's sake they are not in Japan or somewhere where they had to tape everything......


Once again this is my opinion no ads all over they have to pay for things with commercials......makes for bad Olympics.........
