UNOFFICIAL - Excuse me? What did they say?
Okay .. I’m not sure if “unofficial” is the right word, but I thought it sticks out in case you are browsing this front page and looking for WORLDLY PARTICIPATION!
Yes! Vent your anger and frustration about (somewhat) STUPID comments by commentators! Before you do this .. keep in mind that I am not putting down any commentator out there .. they are doing a HECK of a job! (Especially CBC commentators!) :D but sometimes you just gotta ask yourself ..
Uh … What did they say? Did they just say that? Can they say that on TV?
SO! Feel free to write in the comment area things that sounded “funny”, “silly”, or “stupid” …. It’s up to you whether you want to include inaccuracies, but i.m.o. that’s not worthy to complain about them ..
Let me give you an example - I’ll start.
This is about Emanuel Sandhu and me watching the Figure Skating - Men’s Short Program live on the CBC. (Background: he injured his knee in practice at 2002 Salt Lake City games and withdrew at that time). I’m paraphrasing here, because when I first heard the first comment I wasn’t paying attention too much, and when I heard the second comment .. I was laughing my head off! So here is my first entry .. as I remember hearing it!
1st comment (before skate) “You can’t play it safe .. that’s not what this is all about .. Now’s the time where you have to give it everything you got!”
2nd comment (after skate) “What was he thinking? You can’t just come to the Olympics and expect to pull a rabbit out of the hat!”
Is it just me? I thought that Olympic time is the PERFECT time to pull a rabbit out of a hat, and give it everything you’ve got ..?
By The Way … Results of this event…

Heard on french CBC:
“There was no disapointements today in women speedskating…”
So much for keeping a positive attitude :D
