Torino Olympics

Where everyone discusses football, and two dorks try to pretend people actually like the NBA and spam what should be in PMs.

Not really.

I like to see the U.S. rack up sick amounts of medals though. It's my patriotic side.

I am more excited about the World Baseball Classic.

I hate all events in the Olympics except hockey. It's not casue Canada is good at it or anything, it's just that that's a real sport which is fun to watch. The rest are just a bunch of lame events with absolutely no entertainment value played so some fat loser can cheer at his tv and be happy his country beat some other country he couldn't even find a map.

OMG my country is like 0.023% faster at racing down a big icy slide! Suck it!

Yes Labbats, I'm still being hateful. Deal with it.

Hockey in the Olympics is fucked up. 12 teams in the prelim. round and 8 made it to the medal round. The US has 1 win in 5 games and they made it to the medal round. What the fuck is that?

Both Canada and the US crapped out in the medal round today so no medal for either country.

Do their professionals play or is it all college/amateur etc?

They need to add football to the summer olympics and watch us kick the living SHIT out of the world.

The National Hockey League and the European hockey leagues shut down for two weeks so the professionals can go over to play in the Olympics.

Nah man, the Canadian team was like a All-Star team. I believe both Canada and USA were 100% NHL players. Sweden, Finland, the Czechs and Russia are primarly all NHLers too.
