All, Skiing, Video Jason McIntyre February 5th. 2013, 9:58am

It is unclear what the extent of her injuries are at this time. We’ll update the post as news becomes available. [UPDATE: Appears to be a knee injury, according to the Associated Press. H/T: Cork Gaines.]

[UPDATE: Via Thunder Treats, here's a slow-motion video of Vonn's accident.]

Damn, those medics being lifted up to the helicopter along with her look like they could not be less impressed with the proceedings. If that were me I wouldn’t be able to stop screaming “HOOOOLY SHIIIIT”

I recently found out the capital of Turks and Caicos is “Cockburn Town”. I know that is like a real British thing but still, I laughed and I laughed. I mean, cock burn. Come on

Perkins
So I travel to SW Florida several days each week. My wife asked me the other day where I was going for dinner. I said “Perkins … to scope out the waitresses. ”
After I calmed her down (approximately 2 minutes) I spent 15 minutes explaining what Perkins is and the whole Tiger Woods / Perkins waitress incident. She still didn’t laugh.

so what was the intended result of said sarcasm? Laughter? sigh? please expalain b/c i don’t think that was sarcasm at all. I just think you were recyling a used up attempt at humor. Just admit it was a failed joke and move on.

Sorry dude. I’m just sick of everyone with their weak ass humor about any other sport that’s not basketball or football. Skiing, cycling, MMA, Horse Racing are all really fun in their own right. I don’t understand why people make fun of them.

If Lindsey Vonn was a racehorse they’d have shot her on that mountain, that’s not very fun
