  3. Could you look more bored, Dave? I know the guy is very thoughtful in what he says and takes his time, but for fuck's sake, act like you're interested.

    1. I was not bored at all. I was working on not having the eyes you all rib me about. There was a different energy yesterday, but I certainly was far from bored. Serious? Yes. Bored? Absolutely not.

    2. I was actually writing when I am looking down and to the right, "use this for the teaser."

    3. Well, I am one of the posters who mentioned it in the comments on the other video, and in hindsight I think I could have put it a bit less abrasively, so I sincerely apologize for that. I guess now that I know why (not that it is any of my business, and I'm certainly not perfect myself mind you) I have a better understanding and actually stopped noticing it (funny how that works). Just do what you do.

      As far as the teaser is concerned. I don't like how he said he doesn't care how the Lutz is performed. I mean, judges like that are why Sarah Hughes was as successful as she was with her jumps... In the end, it's still a sport. Beautiful, artistic sport, yes. But it's still a sport and these things actually matter.

    4. I think you could take some notes from Jenny's behavior. Do you see how actively engaged she is? She is composed, she has great body language, and she is demonstrating an awareness of what's going on.

    5. He was taking notes, obviously, pen in hand. Chill out until you see the real thing. He isn't obligated to do this. Try to have a bit more understanding.

    Ha, you are a pedantic ass.
