I only watch the curling. Any sport you can play on a frozen lake with a heavy stone and brooms is the ****. Then the skip gets in that funky sliding stance to "deliver the stone" (so hard to write with a straight face) I think yard darts and corn hole should be the exhibition sports for the next Summer Olympiad.

Hold my beer skip, its time to deliver the stone

Espn2 had the cornhole national championshipson the other day. Probably 10 people in the stands. Sponsored by Jimmy Dean.

I watch it every 4 years and I still don't know or care to know what's going on in that event.

Not watching. Somewhere along the way I lost interest in the winter sports. Maybe I'll catch some ski jumping or the skating finals.

I love curling. I wish there was a place where I could do it.

This is my wife's Super Bowl. She loves figure skating like I love football. I used to like to watch the winter olympics. Not any more. Having that thing on for 2+ weeks will turn anyone off.

It's funny, I have almost no interest in any of those sports, but try to catch every minute I can when the Olympics are on.

My brother was living in Utah and attended events when SLC hosted. When a corrupt French judge tipped the figure skating pair gold medal to the Russians instead of the more deserving Canadians, my brother led the boos. I don't know a triple axel from a salchow but that made me laugh.

I've watched curling for the past 2 or 3 Olympics and this is the first time I've acually understood what was going on. I now know most of the shots they're going to make before they take them.

I’m a ski nut, so I already watched the Men’s freestyle on Thursday night. Actually headed out to Beaver Creek and Vail on Thursday so I’m excited to watch the Olympics while I’m doing my own skiing!

I'll only watch curling if it's a Scandinavian women's team involved. Young Norwegian and Swedish women in form fitting outfits and I'm all of a sudden a big fan.:)

I always thought of it as shuffleboard with really big pucks

I can't get away from the Olympics. All day long, all night long, my wife is watching everything :p

Not that this is scientifically accurate or anything, but this year America seems to really suck medalwise. I believe I've cracked the code with how many minutes NBC takes doing background stories no one cares about on athletes no one is going to remember.

The longer the segment, the more the subject flops in their event. Outside of a few events like snowboarding, we aren't doing so well.

Cannot remember ever caring less about the Olympics, outside of the Russian broom sweeping hawtie that is. But I did pay just enough attention to know Lindsey choked, and I freaking loved it.

I haven't had TV in years so I don't watch, but remembering winter olympics of decades long past.... Ice Hockey, was the centerpiece of course. Remember the Cold War 4-Man Bobsled competition? And finally, 90 MPH downhill skiing. I forget the other stuff.
