    Everything Olympics

    It's time again for the Olympics! I know some aren't excited but I am. So you will have to put up with my enthusiasm until it's over.

    This is a way for us to put our politics aside and root for the same team! :0)

    Coverage starts February 9, 2018 at 8pm ET / 5pm PT but there's also competition happening today if you're interested.

    Here's a link to the today's schedule.

    I would be glad to put my politics aside if the Olympians would as well. If their comments are not all "Despite our warts we are still the greatest county in the history of mankind" I am not going to be interested in how well they do. They represent America, they should put it in its best light.

    I caught some curling on NBCSC after midnight last night. Curling in the Winter Games and speed walking in the Summer have to be some of the oddest events to watch.

    I guarantee there will be no black dudes raising their fists in the Black Power salute in Korea this winter.

    Wait....what? There's speed walking?!

    I could win that one! Damn another missed opportunity for fame and fortune.

    I never understood curling but I find it fascinating to watch the sport.

    It looks too much like competitive floor cleaning to me.

    Curling looks like something created on a Monty Python skit.
