Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Anyone see Sofia Loren? She sure looks great for her age!
But you can't tell me they couldn't find anyone ELSE besides Susan Sarandon to be part of the group that carried the Olympic Flag.  (I think it was they Olympic Flag, I stepped away for a minute and came back to that...)

Sarandon? Just how does she rate????
I might watch some of the hockey but could care less about the rest. In my view the Association cheapened the Olympics when they allowed professionals to participate.

Bryant Gumbel's Comments
And to think I USED to like him. Like I said before maybe the lack of Hyphonated Americans is the reason for less controversy.

"Finally, tonight, the Winter Games. Count me among those who don’t like them and won’t watch them ... Because they’re so trying, maybe over the next three weeks we should all try too. Like, try not to be incredulous when someone attempts to link these games to those of the ancient Greeks who never heard of skating or skiing. So try not to laugh when someone says these are the world’s greatest athletes, despite a paucity of blacks that makes the Winter Games look like a GOP convention.

I'm not much of a spectator myself. I prefer to play.

What a Way to end a good game.
I don't even know who is going to win yet but the USA vs. Sweden is being decided by a shoot-out. After 140 minutes of good competition the game is to be decided by the equivalent of a coin flip. They have to come up with a better system.

Never liked the guy myself, he's a condescending, arrogant ass IMO. O'Reilly is supposed to have something on this tonight.
