Best Team Ever?

Before the Olympics started, I kept seeing this commercial talking about how the United States was sending the "best team it's ever sent" to the Winter Games... if that's the case, then why all the mediocre stuff? I mean, what the HELL was the deal with the girl showboating and doing the method air off the last jump at the gold medal run of the women's snowboard-cross... and subsequently falling on her ass and losing a sure gold medal? Everyone couldn't seem to shut up about mogul skier Jeremy Bloom... and he totally blew at the games... totally. Bode Miller? Not even on the radar. The speed skaters have been doing rather well, thus far... which is good, because it is probably my favorite thing to watch. The men's hockey team has been doing rather poorly (1-1-1 is NOT what I was expecting from such an "elite" team). The women's hockey team losing to Sweden? Never happened, before... wouldn't have predicted it happening.

I'm just missing some of that "total dominance" I was kinda led to believe existed... Well, in the snowboarding events, okay... but big deal. Snowboarding? That shit's for the X-Games. Well, okay, maybe not... but it's not one of the bigger sports at a Winter Olympics, I don't care what you say. I'm still waiting for a biathlon medal or a curling medal... lol. In all seriousness, I love both events.

Un the upside... Krissy Wendell and Natalie Durwitz are two totally gorgeous hockey players... and they're pretty damn good, to boot.
