Running 2018 Winter Games thread

I think it's called the stone. Why not the rock escapes me.

 

"Cheers fuckers."

 

It’s called both.

 

I looked up the weight hoping to find it's called a stone because it weighs a stone. First I was wrong, second those things are actually kind of heavy

 

42 pounds.

 

Predictions: People will complain about Tirico. Accuse NBC of being biased and say they're "done" with the Olympics. I will say we haven't heard a peep about the host season being way unprepared by media who arrive early and have nothing else to write/complain about.

 

Skeleton. Head first down the luge run with your nose about an inch above the ice. No brakes.

You just gotta be crazy to do that, especially the first time.

 

I always say I'm not going to pay any attention to the Olympics. Then I usually end up getting drawn in by this or that.

Love the downhill skiing.

 

NBC lately, or whatever network owns the rights to Olympic broadcast, are such partners in the Olympics, that they are complicit in the doping scandals, the bribery scandals and the sex abuse scandals as any other authoritative entity.

 

Reasonable amount, same as the other networks. Too big to ignore.
