Probably talking about the primetime replays.

Do people actually watch the Olympics anymore? I think the last time I actually watched an event was in the 80's. 

Same.

I used to watch the snowboarding before it just became spin to win and any actual style went out the window.

Good for you?

You ask if anyone was watching. I just answered your question.

 

A lot of people are watching. I watched a couple of events, mainly because the wife likes them

I watch the US women's soccer team pretty consistently whether it be World Cup or Olympics.  Better than mens soccer.  But outside of that, just give an old school Sportscenter run down of what occurred.  Some cool moments like the Americans in the 1500m run the other day.

The mens 100 meter was interesting. Incredibly close finish.

I mean, that's great for people who can watch it during the day, but most people are working or going to school during the day, and that's why they re-broadcast it during the evenings.

I've had more fun watching the Olympics this year than other sporting events in the last 4-5 years honestly.

The Panthers game starts at 7 est and the olympic rebroadcasts start at 8 est, so I say watch the Panthers for an hour and switch. I can't imagine gleaning anything meaningful after the first quarter anyway.

Hmm, bad football or something worse than bad football? 

Neither.

Damn, some of y'all are just stodgy old men.

Olympics has been amazing this year and clears anything Panthers related by miles.

I was thinking the same thing! lmao

My favorite part about the Olympics, aside from the whole world competition and exploration of other cultures, is that I end up following a random sport or two that I've never kept up with before. It gets to the point of where I'm deep diving the history of the sport and the evolution of the tactics used so that I can better understand what I'm watching.
