Let me say it slower: HAPPY = TOURNAMENT, SAD = GAME

Well, then. Since you're in this sort of mood.
Allow me to say something slowly: you are an overweight umpa luma. So please don't talk about athletes. You know nothing of athleticism--walking to and from Mc Donalands doesn't make you an athlete.
It's not your fault that the men lost.
It's not your fault that the women lost.
It's not your fault that people like us Canadians better.
And finally, it's not your fault that you're fat. But you have to understand fatty, that Crosby is teh ; and dem American hoes' be bitter!
Speaking of fat people. I love how Mc Donalands is the 'official restaurant of the Olympics.' I especially enjoy the ads where they show Olympians eating that .
:haha:
p.s.

Some great articles by Elvis Stojko on figure skating at these olympics and the rediculous judging in the men's competition:

Russia should have won gold in Men's figureskating. |
def agree
funny sidestory, he offically declared that his silver was indeed a platinum medal |

they didn't pull anything like that. i don't get why people are criticizing them for obviously being heart broken by the loss. they played extremely well and if they won i'd have no problem whatsoever saying that they deserved it.
both teams played their hearts out and canada just happened to be the first one to capitalize. if this went to a shootout then the US would probably take gold.
you really think the canadians would take it any better if they lost this game? |
^^^ this +1
this was some of the best hockey I have ever seen played I have the utmost respect for each and every player on both teams |

umm I am AWARE that they did very well in the "tournament", thats doesnt mean they cant be sad for losing the "game." It was important to them, and they probably felt an immediate sense of failure and sadness.
You have to remember this was RIGHT after an intense, sudden death, uber important game.....not days later when the emotions have settled and they have time to adjust to the fact that they actually did quite well!
Sheesh. Harsh, harsh, harsh! They are humans, and acting naturally. They were not disrespectful, nor did they lose their dignity. :rolleyes: |
one of the few times I agree with you in this thread :p
U.S. was upset at losing in overtime, especially after scoring late after pulling the goalie. If it were a 5-2 game you would have seen far different expressons for sure. The rollercoaster of emotions would get to anyone.
Yankeeboobie had some good arguments in this thread, unfortunately peppered with too many eye-rolling-at-others comments.
You can effectively convey your arguments without the hypersensitivity rants about others being hypersensitive :p
As for Evil Cookie's debating skills.. well....:p |

| Don't know why no one mentioned this about the final game. The thing that I didn't like about the US team, they played pretty cheap. The pushing, checking and behind the back cheap shots ... Even when the whistle blew. Reminded me of high school bullies. TBH, It's was uncalled for. |
