Snowflake Malfunction At The Beginning Of Sochi Opening Ceremony

[HT: Daily Mail (UK)]

After all the billions the Russians have spent on the 2014 Olympic Winter Games this happens right at the beginning of the Opening Ceremony.

Five snowflakes were to morph into the Olympic Rings only the upper right didn't cooperate.

Here's the video of the snowflake malfunction.

I wonder of anyone in the United States will see this during NBC's coverage later tonight.

Those of us in the OSG HQ think the peacock with edit this out.

NBC "In Touch" With Michaels After Arrest

((HT: LA Times))

Spokesman Greg Hughes has acknowledged that the network has been "in touch" with Al Michaels after his DUI arrest and citation earlier Sunday morning. Michaels was cited for delivering a .08 on a breathalyzer exam over the weekend.

.08 is the high end of the legal limit for intoxication charges in the state of California.

Matt Stevens follow-up in the Times Monday morning has Santa Monica (CA) Sergeant Richard Lewis elaborating on the idea that they smelled alcohol and witnessed slurred speech:

“They pulled him over, detected the smell of alcoholic beverage, slurred speech, they did [field sobriety tests], arrested him, and then he was booked.”

Lewis said the department does not release the blood alcohol concentration of those arrested on suspicion driving under the influence, but added that Michaels was arrested on a violation of the vehicle code that includes driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 or greater.

TMZ is reporting that Michaels' BAC was just above .08
Michaels was booked on $5,000 bail and has a court date of June 26.
He was on the "Dan Patrick Show" a few days ago discussing stuff...

"Bob, When's It's 12:00... You Say G'night!"

((HT: YetiGrahams/FirstCoastNews))

Full disclosure...

The HQ considers Jacksonville sports director Dan Hicken to be a part of the FOSG fraternity... one we consider as friend, confidant, and source for everything First Coast...

Brother Phil has even been threatened that Hicken would re-hire him at the drop of a hat... something the HQ will fight with all the resources we have...

Hick has been Sports Director since 1991, so he has seen the shenanigans that happen when network broadcasts go over their allotted time...

Doesn't mean he's happy about it...


Before we go, the HQ gives a tip-of-the-hat to main adult table sitter Donna Deegan as she heads into news retirement and will devote her time fully to her Foundation...

You go, girl...

Hank Junior Shown The Door...

((HT: FoxNewsChannel/youtube))

Here's the outburst... you know it by now...


ESPN put out the statement that they booted Hank, Junior to the curb. But if you ask the Country Boy, he quit because of the network's stance and ideological differences with him.

Now, the network has a bigger question... what to do now since the tune is Hank's...?
There's always this that the four-letter can use as an example...

That's what the HQ thought you'd say...
