Yea, he was rambling about how Lysacek shouldn't have won without doing a quad jump. This is the same sport where in '06, a pair had a ridiculous fall on a throw jump, stopped the music when the girl was hurt by the fall (apparently, it's an automatic deduction for stopping the music), she was down on the ice for about 5 minutes (you're only supposed to get 3 before you get disqualified), and they restarted the music, did their routine and got SILVER. Meanwhile, the Americans had one slight bobble in an otherwise flawless routine and weren't on the medal stand. That's why people like me cannot stand figure skating.
