Are you criticizing the CBC site, or the Moores?
If you're criticizing the Moores...well, Bertuzzi did almost kill him, to be fair.

am I the only one who gets tired of seeing figuring skating all the time? It isnt so bad now that NBC has 4 channels covering the olympics and I am actually at home for most of the day and can watch the other sports, but like gymnastics in the summer olympics I think figure skating gets WAY TOO MUCH coverage and they ignore other sports, those athletes worked just as hard to be there why not show them as well

No, sorry!
Today was a virtual cornucopia of non-figure skating events. Curling, hockey, skiing, etc. More skating tomorrow though!

I beg to differ with you on the gymnastics...the coverage of gymnastics has gone down not only in amount but also in quality.

The media is being ridiculous with men's hockey. Did you listen to the guy at Gretzky's press conference? I can't remeber where he was from, but he asked Wayne if he felt bad for taking away the spotlight from Beckie Scott and Sarah Renner.
I was like WTF???!!! Gretzky isn't trying to take away the spotlight, you're putting him there by asking him these stupid questions.
Gretzky was quite tactful about it. He said yes he felt bad, etc etc.

The various European leagues make use of cheerleaders in their games... so I guess it was only natural that they'd make an appearance in Torino as well...

I like Frank and Gordon too... (which one's which, anyway?)....Mr. Tau thinks they're silly though.

Sorry, USCTKE--figure skating info ahead!
If you are anything like me and can't stand to wait until NBC graces us with their Men's Long coverage tonight, you can get real time scores online:

Oooh...I just checked online. Canada is one medal behind the USA. The USA better chop chop!! 
I think Norway usually does win the Winter Games for the most medals. They are just too strong of a power house in too many sports that Americans don't traditionally go for, like cross country skiing, ski jumping, etc. I think in cross country skiing alone, one skier can potentially win 8 medals or something like that (individual plus relays).
Someone go do research and find out for sure......

Seems like Norway has dominated the winter games over the course of history

Team USA and the Swedish Ladies are tied at 2 going into a sudden-death 10 minute overtime, and if needed, sudden death shootout for the right to advance to the Gold Medal Final.
USA! USA! USA!
