The winter ones are just so short and boring...and the commentators are irritating as all get-out. I stopped watching figure skating because of them. They WON'T. SHUT. UP. And seeing the same commercial every ten seconds is getting old too. I don't need to see 15 BMW commercials during bobsled. I KNOW YOU MADE THE SLED. Stop shoving it down my throat!<br /><br />The summer Olympics, on the other hand...I will watch those 24/7 until the closing ceremonies. I love gymnastics, but I will watch pretty much anything, even ping pong. The commercials don't bother me as much either. No clue why!Krystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04521092008172230055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-32493784500512111142014-02-20T18:06:14.113-06:002014-02-20T18:06:14.113-06:00If I'd been Bode Miller...I'd punched that...If I'd been Bode Miller...I'd punched that bitch right in her effin' mouth & said, "My (dead) brother wanted me to do that so bad!!

I cringed every single time Christin asked him a question pertaining to the death of his brother. It was awful, yet clearly comical. The interview with Bode Miller returning for the 2018 Olympics wasn't much better. How many times can a reporter suggest that you are old as dirt at forty and shouldn't ski now that he has his bronze? I would love to see these reporters/interviewers slalom. It would be hysterically funny!
