Anjin-san Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) jb, you're spot on. A damn IOC official admitted that billions of dollars had been embezzled by Russian officials...the whole affair is a bad joke. And the world just stands by and smiles... You forgot one thing,the IOC lines it's own pockets. Edited February 6, 2014 by Anjin-san Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcórë Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 They do, but they haven't admitted that part. The fact that they're so open about how bad it is in Sochi is mind-boggling to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles J. White Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Money,that's what the IOC cares about. It's what we all care about - you remind me of me when I was 16 arguing with my older cousin about higher ideals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planted Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Sure when amateurs were allowed in the OG. Yahtzee! The Olympics have lost ALOT of luster for me since then. There will never be another "Miracle". RIP, Mr Brooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireOpal Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I just read that the pseudo-lesbian duo Tatu will be part of the opening ceremonies. Way to class it up, Russkies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that Dick Button is gone, I might even watch some figure skating this time around. Be careful what you wish for. Scott Hamilton's screeching might make you change your mind. I assume you'll be cheering for Michigan's Davis and White? They are wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anjin-san Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Sage Kotsenburg tamed the treacherous slopestyle course at the Extreme Park on Saturday, grabbing the first gold medal of the Sochi Olympics. And he did it with a run that left the 20-year-old American who talks like a surfer and rides like a purist momentarily stunned in disbelief.

LedZeppfan77 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 The Women's Canadian hockey team is destroying the Swiss....4-0 in the 2nd. And I could not get a line on it. But I already laid 4 goals in their next match. And I took Russia, Canada and US in a parlay in their first game. That teams figure skating that just finished, hell, that Canadian woman was ass kicking hot. Smokin!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
