Call me a big softy, but I choke up every time our anthem plays.



Cheers to Evan Lysacek!

Can you narrow it down to less than half the field?

(Jazzman... okay, I didn't see that one I guess)

Johnny Wier wore the crown of roses while waiting for his scores.

Yeah, apparently I missed that.

See, but that's just it. One shouldn't be allowed to enjoy the competitive benefits of being a stupidly wealthy megalomaniac loaner AND be likable. I mean, that's just not fair!

Man without quad is . . . is woman. Is not fit to wear dignified uniform of man's figure skating.

If I were developing tricks, I wouldn't do it where other people could see if I had the means to do it in private. The other riders can develop their own tricks.

I agree that Johnny Weir totally got hosed. Scott Hamilton speculated it was because of his lack of transitions, but I think he should have gotten a higher artistic score. He skated a beautiful program though, so I'm happy for him in that respect.

Oh, it makes total competitive sense..but it's not the norm in snowboarding. It's a sport built on a community that generally trains together and values the progression of the sport over individual competitiveness. So it's pretty surprising that someone who puts himself on the outside of that is not disrespected by the community.
