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.

We've seen all the major medal ceremonies. Maybe they show them on the late broadcast? We Tivo everything so I don't know when stuff is on.

I have no complaints about not showing enough or too many commercials - again, because we Tivo everything. As it is, we've been staying up late to keep up, and we're watching for most of the day. I don't have an interest in hockey, so I can see where that would be an issue.
