The last few days at the Olympics have just been incredible. The other thing is that I was following it on the Olympic Broadcasting Services streaming feed through the NBC Sports Network application on my phone. The commentators are intentionally unbiased, so you don't get the rooting for Team USA to really rev you up. I love the OBS stuff, but, for big Team USA wins, I like the NBC home cooking.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-29598889135082414142018-02-22T10:20:59.855-05:002018-02-22T10:20:59.855-05:00OK, the United States did not medal in the women&#...OK, the United States did <i>not</i> medal in the women's biathlon relay (Belarus, Sweden and France did), but the Shusters and the women's hockey team really did both beat the Canadians today.
