ScottBailey Along_the_Wire it’s that time again on the sporting calendar when we’re subjected to a British commentator absolutely butchering the (ice) hockey too. Only comparable to Sky’s coverage of the Superbowl, or when our friends across the pond try their best to talk about the Prem’. It’s just never going to be good.
Along_the_Wire ScottBailey Only comparable to Sky’s coverage of the Superbowl Sky’s coverage of American football is excellent to be fair. Neil Reynolds knows his shit and they have a strong line-up with the likes of Shaun Gayle
ScottBailey Along_the_Wire sure I’d be less critical if I watched all the regular season games on it. I’ve only really ever tuned in for the Superbowl when they feel obligated to have to explain every nuance of the game to all the people tuning in who wouldn’t normally watch the game. Much prefer watching the local feeds online, even if it’s hooky.
Along_the_Wire ScottBailey Much prefer watching the local feeds online, even if it’s hooky. I do that for Washington games and then the Super Bowl will watch the US feed as some of the ads are great. I pay for Gamepass
Smallman1 I’ll be doing my best Alberto Tomba impression next week in Morzine. Hold tight for feedback!
-si- mono-stereo Fatima whitbread’s running commentary of yesterday’s cross country skiing was mesmerising, to be fair to him…
ScottBailey Along_the_Wire ads are great Absolutely. ‘Real Men of Genius’, and ‘Office Linebacker’ personal favourites
Along_the_Wire Fuck me, the men’s halfpipe was something else. The women’s yesterday looks total shit in comparisonn
Matt Along_the_Wire would have been a nice finish for shaun white to go out with a win but the Japanese lad was unbelievable.
vinnyt77 Matt Briefly thought he might do it after his second run, but fucking hell - Ayumu Hirano’s last run was sensational. Never seen another halfpipe competition get close to that kinda quality…
Amps Matt the Japanese lad was unbelievable His last run was basically perfect. Every landing was textbook, bar maybe the last which fast but controlled. Boss winner.
Amps Mens and womens snowboard cross was decent too, good course which lead to lots of close finishes and crashes. Basically Mario Kart for humans.
Amps Skiathalon on the second day was a bit of a procession, but interesting all the same. Gruelling stuff.
Amps Also, womens 10km cross country skiing earlier in the week, only half a second in it between first and second and one tenth of a second between third and forth… and also:
