Well they needed to keep the main network free for the important stuff. . . . like ice dancing.

i watched the game at a friend's who has fios. trust me, it wasn't any prettier in HD.
did you call in sick today

no, i had a lot of work to do last night so i didn't drink that much during the game… the lack of depressants in my blood probably helped me cope. i texted a few friends to commiserate, then got lost in spreadsheets. it helped dull the pain.
so, how y'all feeling about having you ASSES HANDED TO YOU IN CURLING! what!!! oh yeah, choke on THAT: Canada's Martin steals way to win over USA.
CA - NA - DA!!!
i would have called in sick so i didnt have to hear it from my coworkers
frankly i'd rather see canada win gold :-X

Let the record reflect, I txted Sweets last night, not to gloat, but simply to make sure he hadn't been killed/committed suicide.

I was going to text him exactly what I posted here, but I follow the rule of 24 hours for any live sporting event (non-final) in case he was recording it.

Russia - Canada; 7:30 PM EST: Canada at -1 with an over and under at 5.5 goals.
5.5 over/under with luongo and nabokov in a big game? almost wish i was a gambler
Can you believe the US game is tape delayed on the West? Unbelievable. 3PM PT!!!???!!!
can you watch online? i'm hoping the bosses are gone so i can listen on the radio without feeling bad
USA -2.5; over/under 5.5
2.5 is really a lot right? i'd take the swiss and the points

which would you take, the under? i'd be tempted by the over, but 5.5 sounds about right.

it is, but i'd still take the US and the minus. winning by 3 shouldn't be an issue.
over. way over
how many big games have either of those goalies won in the nhl, let alone against all star teams? i see it as a 5-5 game headed to a shootout

Haven't watched much of the Olypmics but I have to say Curling is the weirdest sport I've ever seen. Its a sport with players dressed like referees, swiffers, and cleaning products wrapped in one.
