Sochi Viewing Guide Day 15

I decided to change the format. It makes no sense to drop this in the middle of Sochi time. Why not do it
around midnight, and make it run through the day until First Taste happens at 8:30 am. That's what we are going with here, and if you do not like it, I do not care. The format is changing basically giving you a timeline of what will be on television. I also will not post everything, just the marquee stuff.

What's on today?  
2:30 am - Women's Curling - Great Britain and Switzerland battles for the bronze medal. I have not watched much, but I will take the Great Britain. Where can I find it: NBCSN

3:39 am - Men's Skiing - We have the ski cross event which there will be medals for at this juncture. There is not a single American in this one. Where can I find it: Stream

6:00 am - Women's Hockey - Bronze medal matchup between Sweden and Switzerland. Big day for the Swiss grabbing third place in things. Where can I find it: NBCSN

9:00 am - Women's Figuring Skating - The free skate goes down, and if you really want to piss people off, ruin this one during the day. Americans' Gracie Gold, Ashley Wagner and Polina Edmunds are in fourth, fifth and seventh currently. Where can I find it: NBCSN

11:00 am - Women's Hockey - United States and Canada battle for the gold. I think it is fair to say this is a bigger rivalry than the men whom go at it on Friday. Where can I find it: NBC

11:30 am - Women's Skiing - They take on the halfpipe as the men did a couple days ago. Four Americans are in the qualification but I would say Maddie Bowman and Brita Sigourney have the best chance at medaling.  Where can I find it: NBCSN

Obviously the bear above was the best part of the day.

Moscow News did not take Russia's loss very well. (Awful Announcing)

Best Bronze celebration ever. (Barstool Sports)

Sochi Viewing Guide Day 9

First of all, I would like to extend an apology for not getting a viewer guide up. I straight up fell asleep after coming home from the bar, but I decided to change the format. It makes no sense to drop this in the middle of Sochi time. Why not do it around midnight, and make it run through the day until First Taste happens at 8:30 am. That's what we are going with here, and if you do not like it, I do not care. The format is changing basically giving you a timeline of what will be on television. I also will not post everything, just the marquee stuff.

1:45 am - Women's Skeleton - Medal event in this one and I have to be honest when I say... I have no idea what skeleton is but it appears to be one big 'The Plunge' on ice. For those unfamiliar with 'The Plunge", it is a dangerous ride at Noah's Ark. Where can I find it: Stream

Sochi Viewing Guide Day 7

It makes no sense to drop this in the middle of Sochi time. Why not do it around midnight, and make it run through the day until First Taste happens at 8:30 am.

What's on today?  
Happening Now:
There are three curling matches going on right now as Norway battles Germany, USA takes on Denmark and China and Switzerland go at it. USA-Denmark will air on NBCSN at 2:00 am. Where can find it: Stream

1:00 am - Women's Downhill Skiing - They will be medaling in this one so it is worth the midnight oil to stay up and watch for a bit. s well as women's super-combined alpine skiing. Not the best night in terms of events, but at least there are medal events to watch. Where can I find it: Stream

2:00 am - Women's Hockey - We have Switzerland taking on Finland. For those unfamiliar, Swiss do not have a good team. Where can I find it: MSNBC

4:00 am - Women's Curling - USA is taking on China in a matchup that can mean more than just curling. Just kidding. Where can I find it: USA Network

6:30 am - Women's Hockey - USA v. Canada - These two hate each other. They fought the last time they played and I am giving consideration to waking it up for this one. Where can I find it: NBCSN

8:00 am - Men's 1000M Speedskating - You will probably know whether Shani Davis has another gold medal by the time you wake up. Where can I find it: Stream

9:45 am - Pairs Free Skating - This is a medal event. I assume Russian Arcade Fire will win this one although the German skate team rocking a pink suit that I need and want. NBCSN said they have free skate this morning, but I assume they will not show a medal event so probably need to stream it. Where can I find it: Stream

9:45 am - Men's Luge Doubles - Once again, a medal event with NBCSN doing some Luge coverage a little later during the day, but I would assume they show the medaling part too. If you want to watch it right away, stream. Where can I find it: Stream

11:00 am - Men's Hockey - SO IT BEGINS... We have Czech Republic versus Sweden meaning we will get Handsome Hank. Definitely worth the time.  Where can I find it: USA Network

11:00 am - Men's Hockey - Latvia takes on Switzerland, and I would be dammed if I knew a player from each team. But still could get fun.Where can I find it: MSNBC

11:45 am - Women's Snowboard - Halfpipe finals will be the last event of the day, but for those at home, it can be streamed.  Where can I find it: Stream

NBC Primetime - All of the medal events I talked about will be on NBC later in the day if you need it so that's awesome for those without a stream or at work.

Sochi Olympics Viewing Guide Day 5

I am going to do this to help the people out with their television needs with the Olympics. I will also include what will be on in the middle of the night for those whom do not really sleep very much. This is critical given it is unlike London where there is a smaller time difference than what we are dealing with here in Sochi, Russia. I do not know if we include recaps in here, but this is our beginning of our Olympic coverage for the next couple of weeks.  Pictures/links and everything else I can find will be included below plus this will go up before First Taste each day as the Olympics are happening basically as all of us wake up and before the usual Sportandfashion-news start time.

What's on today?  
NBC 
Daytime events: 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm - During the week, NBC does not really bring it during the day which is sort of disappointing. All we have for you is men's biathlon and men's freestyle moguls.

Primetime: 7:00 pm - 10:30 pm - All of these being repeats of earlier today but we have medal events in two men's speedskating events with the 500m and 1500m as well as women's super-combined alpine skiing. Not the best night in terms of events, but at least there are medal events to watch.

NBCSN 
Early Morning Events: 6:45 am - 10:00 am - For those waking up and expecting Dan Patrick Show in the morning, not happening. Instead we have Men's speedskating and freestyle skiing. I believe the men's speedskating will be a medal event.

Late Morning/Early Afternoon Events: 10:00 am - 2:00 pm - A load of things to prepare for the day if you have Monday off from the cold here in Milwaukee. They will have women's luge singles with women's skiing training for slopestyle. Included in this section of television is a women's curling match between Sweden and Great Britain

Women's Curling: USA v. Switzerland 2:00 pm - Is this a repeat of this morning or not? Very good chance I confused hockey and curling so if I did, my bad.

Hockey: 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm - Hockey game of the day which will be one of the women's hockey events.

MSNBC
Women's Hockey: Canada v. Finland 9:00 am - The women's hockey round robin continues with these two matching up against each other on Monday.

CNBC
Men's Curling: USA v. Norway 4:00 pm - I would assume this is a repeat from earlier today, but worth your time coming home today or at the gym.

Streaming on NBCOlympics 
3:00 am & 6:00 am - Nothing really on the stream besides round robin curling events, but we do have qualification for women's slopestyle alpine skiing and then the medal round will be at six.

Sochi Olympic Viewing Guide Day 4

I am going to do this to help the people out with their television needs with the Olympics. I will also include what will be on in the middle of the night for those whom do not really sleep very much. This is critical given it is unlike London where there is a smaller time difference than what we are dealing with here in Sochi, Russia. I do not know if we include recaps in here, but this is our beginning of our Olympic coverage for the next couple of weeks.  I might include Russia pictures of the day from different journalists because that sounds like fun.

What's on today?  
NBC 
Daytime events: 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm - Not a very exciting day of activities during the day as they have team stake stuff from earlier plus they have cross-country skiing from the men. They have women's speedskating in the 3000m and the women's biathlon.

Primetime: 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm - Really good night if you are not keeping up with the stuff overnight. We have the Men's downhill skiing medal along with the women's slopestyle. They also have team event in figure skating and men's ski jumping. .

NBCSN 
Figure Skating: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm - The team event continues which seems to be sort of fascinating and with Russia and United States being heavily involved, it is worth your time during your hangover recovery period.

Hockey: 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm - Hockey game of the day which will likely be either Sweden v. Japan or Russia v. Germany, both from the women's side.

Streaming on NBCOlympics 
11:00 pm - Men's Curling - This begins if you are a big fan of the sport. I am imagine this will be the nightcap for some Wisconsinites.

4:00 am - Women's Curling - If your morning starts this early, it would not be a bad idea to fire up the computer to give it a couple views.

4:00 am - Women's Hockey - United States vs. Switzerland - The second game of the American women. I assume this will also be on NBCSN if you are getting up around that time.

5:00 am - Women's Combined Downhill - The slalom event gets a medal opportunity here.  

6:15 am - Men's Speedskating - They are medaling for the 1500m event in the first short track medel. The heats are on overnight.

Sochi Viewing Guide Day 3

I am going to do this to help the people out with their television needs with the Olympics. I will also include what will be on in the middle of the night for those whom do not really sleep very much. This is critical given it is unlike London where there is a smaller time difference than what we are dealing with here in Sochi, Russia. I do not know if we include recaps in here, but this is our beginning of our Olympic coverage for the next couple of weeks.  I might include Russia pictures of the day from different journalists because that sounds like fun.

What's on today?  
NBC 
Daytime events: 1:30 pm to 5:00 pm - They have a variety events to watch this afternoon if you need a palate cleanser. We have Men's 5,000M speedskating, Men's ski jumping, Men's biathlon and women's combined skiing. Some of these events were I believe on NBCSN in the way late night so it could be a repeat, be aware.

Primetime: 7:00 pm - 11:00 pm - If you did not watch the slopestyle gold medal event late night, this will have a replay of that. Hannah Kearney will go for a repeat gold in women's moguls and the team figure skating event will match on. Basically a repeat of Thursday with a little more competitiveness.

NBCSN 
Figure Skating: 8:30 am -1:30 pm - For those fans of figure skating, a bunch of it is on during the morning and the early stages of the afternoon. When I say a bunch, I mean it is a variety of skating events.

Hockey: 5:00 pm - I have no idea what this is but they call it the 'Game of the Day.' If I had a guess, they are replaying the best game from the day and it is a supercut of the game. Kind of nice before the primetime stuff.

MSNBC
Women's Hockey: Canada v. Switzerland 7:15 am - Do I expect any of you to watch this? Not really but you should know all that's out there today.

Streaming on NBCOlympics 
12:30 am - Women's Slopestyle semifinals, great thing to have on at the bar if they can figure out how to stream things at the bar, or watch if you stayed home or worked late.

1:00 am - Men's Alpine Downhill Skiing - This will be a medal event for those who will be up late and want to ruin it for your friends.

2:00 am - Women's Hockey - Sweden v. Japan: For those who cannot get enough hockey.

3:15 am - Women's slopestyle finals - Another  medal event for the insomniacs.

4:00 am - Men's Skiathlon - The final medal event of the late night session, but you have to be a real degenerate to watch this one.
