Didn't catch opening ceremonies.

So I watched the opening ceremonies while playing Diablo 3 the other night and need to know, Are they always so long? Felt like it went on for days...
Other then that, I'm not a big winter olympics fan. Outside of Ice Hockey, Skating (not this team crap), and downhill skiing it just seems like I'm watching Worldwide X Games. Way too many events that I don't care for to watch

Other then that, I'm not a big winter olympics fan. Outside of Ice Hockey, Skating (not this team crap), and downhill skiing it just seems like I'm watching Worldwide X Games. Way too many events that I don't care for to watch I flipped around and caught like 15 minutes of biathlon (God is that boring), but that is it for me so far. To answer your question, yes, the opening ceremonies are always like 4 hours long and always feel like 6 days and 7 nights in purgatory. I might watch some figure skating with my wife to appease her and a little bobsled for myself, but for the most part I avoid the Winter Olympics. All the good sports are in the Summer Olympics and every 4 years more and more of the X Games crap creeps into the Winter Olympics, making them more and more cartoonish. Count me out. |

Yeah, I flipped over to coverage last night and saw Costas...and immediately flipped away. Did he catch it from the conditions in Sochi or was it unrelated? |

I haven't watch any of this, and it sounds like I'm not missing much.

Costas got it from the conditions there. From what I've read, it's a fucking nightmare for Athletes and the Press.
