Yeah, really. (Just kidding.)

I wish they'd play the other countries' during the Olympics, but they only ever play it when the Americans win. Patriotism and all that, I get it, but I already know what our national anthem sounds like!!

No, I mean, they do it a little bit, but frustratingly not as much as I wish they would! Also, I love to follow figure skating. If a non-American wins the gold, they won't play the ceremony unless you stay up and keep watching after 2:00 in the morning!! Whereas if an American wins, they'll air it at the end of the prime time coverage.

HA HA HA HA... well, that's when their coverage comes back on! It goes until, like, 6:00 AM. Now, that's a level of devotion I have yet to reach, even though I (almost) always enjoy watching the Olympics!!

Same here! OMG! I watch them religiously, I always have!

Well, you and I will have plenty to chat about when they next air. We'll start an Olympics discussion thread!!
