Haha that was a good try though.

Are you trying to say you're French and now since its a French invention (in your mind) you get to dictate how much politics can be involved in the Games?
Just how longitudinally challenged was your elementary mode of transport?

I thought you were talking about the Molson beer machines that are at Sochi. They will only dispense a beer once it has scanned a Canadian passport.

Aww I'm sorry, after factually proving wrong your inaccurate statement you're going to be butthurt about it the rest of your life? Question: When you and Moog are going at it in your mom's basement, who pitches and who catches? Or do you guys prefer the 2-man luge technique?

Nice try, however

I'm sure you frequent the wikipedia frequently like the rest of the interwebz peeps!
I'm sorry that modern technology has created a way to quickly fact-check inaccurate buffoons like yourself. Just because your life is a throwback to the Truman administration doesn't mean everyone else has to live in your sad little world. You probably still have a set of dusty Britannica encyclopedia's next to where your old wife keeps the dildo that she shoves in her crusty vag every night since your overcompensating can't do much more than peruse the internet for creepshots of young girls.

I can't speak for Moog, but it's the only way I can climax anymore.

Kinda funny, I'm watching the half pipe comp and there doing a piece on ipod. His quote was, "I just want to beat Shawn, if he gets 4th I want to get 3rd."

He got whites position right, shoulda given himself more credit.

Right after that he said if he got fourth, he wanted to win.

Anyone think Shaun White will come back to the 2018 Olympics at the age of 31? I imagine he'd want to at least earn a medal before calling it quits.

True, but the part I found funny was him picking 4th for white.

Probably way to early to predict that. Four years is a lot of time to trash your body. If he's still healthy and can pull the tricks the kids are pulling, I'd bet he's there.

Sounds like he may be done for now. He's said he wants to focus on his band and music.

He's been at this for a long long time. I remember seeing him in skateboard videos back in the 90's when he was like 5 years old. I remember us thinking how if he stuck with it, when he had adult or even teenager strength he would take the sport by storm. I think he competed in his first x-games when he was 11 and even then we knew the only thing holding him back from dominating was he only had the strength of an 11 year old and that limited his height out of the pipe.

Nice comeback by Team Canada against the Uncle Sams in women's hockey today. I'll have to catch the highlights when I get home later.

The "band" is for fun, he's making money from every other avenue you can think of.

For now, but as time goes on he needs to still be relevant to make the sponsorship coin.

He will compete again, it's almost guaranteed.

He may compete again, he may not. He doesn't necessarily need to compete to make money off the sport. Rodney Mullen hasn't competed in skateboarding in years but he's still making money from skateboarding. Lots and lots of money.

Then again, whites contributions to snowboarding are absolutely nothing compared to mullen's contributions to skateboarding.

You guys are nuts if you think White won't compete again in snowboarding.

It's not like his is 35 years old.
