Random musings, brain spew, opinions and thoughts, in no particular order... 1. Jimmy would have had to finish 2nd in order to even be considered for Worlds, and even then I don't think he would have been sent. (see: Miner, Ross) 1A. I was absolutely gutted that he couldn't capitalize on the...

"This ice dancer means nothing to me." "OK. She's not important." "This blonde could be anyone." Are you fcuking kidding me? You are vile, Frau. Although I don't believe in announcing such things, since we're not at the airport and there's no need to broadcast departures, it gives me the...

I've long held the opinion that Takahashi was a clean quad away from the gold. (Assuming the judges would have had the stones to do that if it had happened.)

Sorry, but anyone trying to position Harley’s comment as anything other than insinuating she paid for her coaching on her back is being willfully ignorant. Y’all are not unintelligent people. His meaning is crystal clear. I won’t defend her either — when you have a choice to say NOTHING, you...

I’ve often thought of posting this in the “Unpopular Opinions” thread: Todd Sand has caught a lot of crap on this board (not necessarily mean-spirited, but still), but the truth is, his name is plastered all over the US pairs landscape for the past 30 years: national championships with two...

Not exactly a "favorite skater" story, but ... Back in the late '90s/early '00s there was a South African skater named Shirene Human. I was struck by her unusual name and by the fact she was skating for SA, not exactly a hotbed for the sport. For years she competed at Worlds and never made it...
