I am ingesting these in all their forms. I watch all the sports with maybe the exception being the ice skating. If it is live and on my TV, I'm watching it. I've gone into avoidance mode on most of my devices so the outcome isn't ruined.
Although last night while I was waiting for the Finals of Slopestyle, which could have been live but was delayed so they could show the Team Ice Skating competition (See? Ice Skating), I received a push notification telling me who won. Curse you, Push Notifications.
I must say I was completely underwhelmed by the opening ceremony. With the exception of the thousands of lighted drones who flew in formation to create the Olympic Rings. I need to know how that was done. Fortunately I recorded the event so I could fast forward through most of it. Part of my dislike for it is the NBC announcers describing what I'm seeing. I see some kids walk onto the ice and then Katie Couric says "And now some kids, walking onto the ice)
Yesterday, I enjoyed the Biathalon. I think the short track speed skating is insane. I also watched the mixed curling. Curling has got to be the bowling version of sports where it is a lot more enjoyable if you happen to be drinking.
And, yes, I'm a Nationalist. I wish more Americans were on my TV winning.
I'm sure the PPFY must be loving the hell out of this. Since it is two weeks of sports without balls.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
