And he was right when he said "AND REQUIRE NO ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE OF SPORTS" :lol:

Thank you again jg for all you do and for making this happen... still true to this day "** special thank you to johngriffen for the wonderful idea and allowing me to expand on his vision", and special thank you to Fatima for jumping in and being the right hand that our froggy needed to continue to make this thread the success it is.

And thank you to all the members that continue to post in SC, new and old, lets make this winter Olympics as memorable as the previous one :D

Honestly, SC was quite intimidating for me initially since I wasn't really that big of a sports fan (the only sport I really follow is tennis and I have zero knowledge about football or hockey since they are not popular where I am) but I soon realised this contest is one of the most interactive and fun. Sometimes with a few games happening at the same time, I really think the mods for this contest deserve a big pat on their backs for working so hard to bring this thread alive :)

And now onto the Olympic..watching the Women Snowboard event now :lol:

I stumbled onto SC quite by accident. I love football, but watch nor follow pretty much nothing else. As for the Olympics, I like to see who wins (after the fact), but have only tried to watch the TaeKwonDo events. But, I have really enjoyed SC and look forward to all the contests. Huge thanks to everyone who puts this together, it has to be a great deal of work. I'll try to jump in on the discussions / talks. :)

Everything I post is always in good humor and fun.

I watch the Olympics like it's my career. 12 hours a day no problem. My DVR is going to work overtime for the next two weeks.

I thought the Opening Ceremony was just alright. It wasn't horrible. I'm sure the performers had fun, so good for them. But it looks like the real performers where a bunch of coders six months ago. The Squid Games had only slightly lesser production values. And China has a history dating back to it's far superior opening ceremony in 2008 of faking fireworks, and using cute kids to lip sync for the "less cute" more talented kids they hide in the back. I wasn't buying it for a second! But I'm clearly a cynical skeptic, as many of you probably already know. :D

What was with the Chinese soldiers goose stepping. Crazy! :o
And Putin fell asleep! :lol:

Anyway, I feel this is the United States Year to sweep those lousy Canadians Hockey teams! Your going down CanaDuh! I'm sick of watching a country with a tenth of our population beating us at one of the most boring sports in history. It's soccer on ice! Anyway, my right elbow was hurting today so I'm pretty sure that means there is an upset coming. Go USA!

I have the toughest time making decisions and SC picks are no different. So thanks for always having a default option as the example. :lol:
