| WHAT'S BREWING TODAY Wednesday, February 23 On Today's Scorecard The Olympics That Weren't |
| An average of 10.7 million people watched the Olympics in primetime, the smallest audience for any Winter Games. In total, ratings were down 36% from 2018. The U.S. won eight gold medals, its fewest since 1998. And for the second straight Olympics, one of its stars — Simone Biles in Tokyo, Mikaela Shiffrin in Beijing. For the second straight Winter Olympics, the tiny Scandinavian nation — which has a smaller population than Wisconsin — finished with the most medals (37) and golds (16), the latter of which set a record for most at a single Winter Games. As NBC might say, good riddance. |

LBJ, the inventor of the NBA Super Team - and not the former President of the US - has now invented a way to dictate who, and in what order, a player is taken in the draft. Prince BJ, at 6'2" and 180 lbs and still growing, is ranked 43rd in the nation in high school prospects, and he has the pedigree- so he's no slouch, but still, it's hard to imagine exactly how much tanking will be going next year in the league to attain the services of this traveling act. |
