2026 Winter Olympics

I just got a pop up on my phone that the Olympic opening ceremonies are starting right now. Did they forget to advertise that there are Olympics this year until just now? This seems to be the least publicized games ever.

1. Who cares?

2. Not me.

3. If in doubt, all of the above.

I enjoy watching Olympic events, but the corruption of the IOC and everything surrounding the games is simply mind-boggling. Not to mention that in judged competitions such as figure skating the corruption is often incredibly blatant.

Apparently, the couch fucker got his ass soundly booed at the games today.

I think you're unclear here. Spell it out.

Is Olympics that stuff that fat people can inject now and it makes them not be fat anymore? If so, I can't afford it so I have to continue being fat for now.

Good.

I've been avoiding ice, so I didn't know this was on.

Yeah I was surprised also.

Not surprising.

As did the Israeli athletes.

So, we beat Canada in their national sport.

The Canucks didn’t even reach the medal round.

when i see curlers i think hair dresser.

If beer drinking ever becomes an Olympic sport, my money would be on the Canadians. Just sayin'

Reminds me of a story about the university where I did my engineering studies.

Many years ago (before I even went there, back in the early 70s) one of the men's magazines apparently did a study on which universities in the US consumed the most alcohol per student, and gave the ratings for the top 20. Michican Tech came in first. (You've got to remember that the school has 7 male students for each female, and is lost up in the north where it is only safe to go outside without snowshoes for a couple of weeks per year. If you look for Michigan Tech on a map, it is about three miles south of the north pole. There is little to do but drink.)

The next year they redid the same study, and again published the "top 20" list. Michigan Tech wasn't even in the top 20.

But there was an asterisk next to first place, and a note down below: "Sorry, Michigan Tech, but we don't rate the professionals with the amateurs."

It's because NBC wants you to sign up for Peacock to watch the games. I love the Winter Olympics, it's probably the most sports I ever watch, but I'm not signing up for Peacock to watch it.

The only reason I knew they started a few days ago, I saw a Google Doodle on the Google home page. Clicked on it and saw that the Olympics started that day. Other than I didn't see anything advertising them or announcing them.

NBC broadcast has been running promos for weeks.

Well then... I don't have cable and I don't really watch broadcast TV. Most of what I watch is YouTube, a few shows on Paramount, Disney. Watching and getting caught up on Fallout on Prime. I cancelled Netflix since there wasn't anything I watched on there after Stranger Things. I also have Plex with access to around 8000 movies and around 800 shows. Use that once in a while.

I probably watch or have something on YouTube playing 60-70 percent of the time. The rest a few shows.

So yeah, I wouldn't notice that on NBC

NBC has the rights to it, so naturally they're going to promote it on broadcast and push viewers toward Peacock.

You just reminded me, my internet provider gives my Peacock premium for free. I got a notification about it a few weeks ago. But that includes ads.

Kash Patel heads to Milan for the Olympics — on the FBI jet

Canadian women blow the gold medal. I guess we know which country plays better hockey.

Lacrosse?

I’d just like to call out the hypocrisy of the Canadians for lecturing the US military for committing double taps in the Caribbean while their curling teams are doing the same in Milan.

If they ever start drug testing for beer, these guys are in some serious trouble.

WOMP WOMP.
