    Russia got it all wrong.

    Abuse athletes, not drugs.

    If only NBC would promote the Games, we'd know more.

    Yeah, it's such a coincidence that every Today Show and Nightly News broadcast has some Olympics coverage.

    I have been watching a ton of biathlon on the Olympics channel, so I guess I'm ready to go. That, Super G and curling will probably be the only events I watch.

    As great as the Shawn Whites and Lindsey Vonns are, what I find really captivating is someone who becomes an overnight sensation. The US won't do anything in figure skating. Wonder if any US gold medalist will take a knee.

    I’d be pretty surprised on someone taking a knee.

    1. The national anthem is a much better fit on the Olympic podium than it at your regular NFL game. I feel like taking a knee there is a much bigger statement.

    2. You’ll have very few black athletes in position to make that decision.
