The Latest: Couric apologizes for Dutch speedskating remark

Come on, AP.

Couric late Monday tweeted her apologies for being on thin ice with her comments.

 

I know nothing about this, but isn't it possible that the rest of the competitors improved so that the 900 isn't unique anymore?

 

May I tell you about my WOD and savior?

 

I thought karma was going slap White for the helmet throw. Glad I was wrong.

 

Slalom through those little snowplowing shits.

 

Vanessa James, yum.

 

I believe the snowboarder announcer even made a crack like that, he said something like "everyone here is basically just trying to say, well mine's bigger." I checked the bug to see it was said live on NBC. LOL

Yeah, I don't like it at all. I hooked my computer up to the TV and we watched the men's match live...I'm not waiting 22 hours to watch it tape delayed. This isn't 1988.

 

Haha, that was just plain bizarre, they repeated it tonight.
The announcers were still licking his balls when the other guy was about to cross the finish line.

I'm not sure I've ever heard anything like that.

 

I love Chloe Kim’s story in 2018. When it’s jaded millionaire Chloe Kim in 2030, in her 4th Olympics, looking for redemption after a costly fall in her 3rd Olympics, sponsored by Red Bull, not so much.

Ditto with Lindsey Vonn, Shaun White, etc.

 

It's called @SpeedTchring, per the stylebook.

 

Hey now! Just because you loosers like a bunch of dumb and useless stuff

 

You know, I feel the same way when I go to SeaWorld and see the dolphins and killer whales doing the same shtick they did when I was a kid. Show me something new Flipper.

It's a good thing they've added a lot of those new events in the last 20 years - of the six medals won by the US, only one (luge) existed pre-1998.
