ok that was a kickass half court shot from the Knicks. wow. -- nm - Remlik May 6, 17:36 1

    - If it had sucked any more, George Lucas would have directed it. -- nm - David May 6, 18:02 2
      - I mean, I get my rose-tinted glasses and all for that very specific genre. Thirteenth Floor, Source Code, Adjustment Bureau. -- nm - Qale May 6, 18:07 1

      - No kidding. I’m just thinking about infrastructure. Where did everyone fly in to? Albany? Montreal? -- nm - Volnelk May 6, 17:08 4
        
        there were like 1000 athletes and they lacked a lot of the support staff they have now. plus it wasn't as big a ceremony, so way fewer hangers on. -- nm - mafic May 6, 17:21
        
        fly to NYC. board a train headed upstate. -- nm - Peglegpete May 6, 17:17
        
        Is this about transportation infrastructure? Yeah, I guess that’s an issue in the US. -- nm - mara May 6, 17:13 1
        
        the highest elevation in the Adirondacks is only around 5k ft, which for downhill racing etc i'm surprised they could put together Olympic-level runs -- (link) - hollywood big shot May 6, 18:32
