    I don't really care. If the New England Patriots coaches had started lobbing the bird after the game-winning interception we would be having the same conversation and they'd be wrong as well. You're coaches. Act like adults.

    If anything, Russian fans should have been giving you the finger for those God-awful jerseys you were wearing. Looked like a Gawdamn Bob Ross painting.

    That's a hell of a Baronesque comparison. Why would they be fingering me? I wasn't there

    Why are you involving me in your petty little feuds?

    Caught about an hour an a half. Captivating.

    They tell it from the Russian perspective so you don't hear "Do you believe in miracles!?"

    Instead you hear the Russian pbp say to the effect "And the Americans get 3 points in the table."

    It's just funny because we've been conditioned to hear Michaels' all-time exclamation point whereas Russians heard the equivalent of day-old gruel.

    I found it interesting that, in this day and age of, "We'll be back for the Bud Light Postgame show, right after this" The CCCP broadcasters basically said, "That's your final. Americans win. We're ending the broadcast. Later."

    The TASS guy explained it: Say a regular guy goes up and kisses Sophia Loren. He talks about that moment for the rest of his life.

    Sophia Loren would never remember it.
