The ratings for NBC’s coverage of the pre-Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, dropped by nearly 40 percent in the key demographic compared to the 2014 games, according to The Hollywood Reporter Friday.

A three-hour block Thursday night featuring free-style skiing and men’s figure skating averaged a 3.7 rating among adults ages 18-49 with 16 million viewers on NBC. That includes a live telecast and an encore on the West Coast.

And while those numbers sound rather impressive, compared to the pre-Opening Day coverage in 2014 for the winter games in Sochi, Russia, the coverage in the key demographic dropped by 38 percent an..

The 2018 Winter Olympics are here, and the best way to get into the patriotic mood is with this video of President Ronald Reagan meeting the 1988 U.S. Winter Olympic team.

The Olympics are already political this year, as Vice President Mike Pence has been criticized by figure skater Adam Rippon, an openly gay man for his stances on LGBT issues.

Pence responded to these criticisms on his Twitter page:

Headed to the Olympics to cheer on #TeamUSA. One reporter trying to distort 18 yr old nonstory to sow seeds of division. We won’t let that happen! #FAKENEWS. Our athletes are the best in the world and we are for ALL of them! #TEAMUSA

It is time for the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, and the Olympic Mexico Alpine Ski Team has unveiled their rather unusual uniforms for this year’s competition.

And all we can say is wow.

In the shot shared on Instagram by one of the skiers, Hubertus Von Hohenlohe stands next to fellow skiers Rodolfo Dickson and Sarah Schleper wearing black uniforms covered in giant “Day of the Dead” artwork. It was quite the look.

The caption next to the photo read, “Mexico Ski team Outfits for Peyongchang… .OLYMPICS… Will it be an NBC Podium for best Look……? I gave it all … guess more than in the Gym… ..Gracie Ragazzi at Kappa/KWAY…”

Von Hohenlohe, who has represented Mexico in ..

The 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang are here, and although the Opening Ceremony doesn’t air until 8 PM ET on Friday, there have already been some mishaps.

According to some athletes and course officials already over in Korea, some skiers have already been forced to toss their skis before competing. Temperatures are dipping so low in Pyeongchang that skis are rendered unusable.

A course worker told Reuters, “You can’t do anything about it but with the cold temperatures, the snow adheres to the ski base and twists it.”

Even the Austrians are having trouble. Alpine skier Marcel Hirscher — who’s expected to medal this year — explained exactly what’s happening to Olympians’ skies.

“Every run ..

Every now and then a trade comes along in the NBA that nobody saw coming. On Thursday, the Cleveland Cavaliers made at least three that shocked the association.

Cleveland made a major move over the offseason when they traded Kyrie Irving away to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Isaiah Thomas and Jae Crowder. On Thursday, with the trade deadline approaching, they unloaded them both.

Despite making some disparaging remarks to the media this season, Thomas said he was happy in Cleveland on Wednesday and looking forward to making a run at a championship. On Thursday, he ended up on another team as a backup point guard.

“I’m tired of getting traded,” Thomas told reporters on Wednesday night. “I like it here. It hasn’t been as planned, but I definitely wanna be here. We have a real chance to win a NBC championship and I want to be a part of it.”

Isaiah Thomas said he likes..

Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce pretty much lost his mind on Thursday when he took to the podium to speak about the team’s Super Bowl win during the team’s victory parade in Philadelphia.

The all-pro center gave the speech of all speeches rocking a sparkling green, purple and white sequins jacket with a matching headdress on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. You don’t have to take our word for it. Check out the crazy speech yourself.

First he lead the crowd in a cheer, asking them if they loved their Eagles followed by praise for Eagle’s VP of football operations, Howie Roseman.

“I’m going to take a second to talk to you about underdogs. Howie Roseman, a few years ago, was relinquished of all control pretty much in this organization,” Kelce exclaimed.”He was put in the side of the building where I didn’t see him for over a year. Two years ago, when they made a decision, he came out of there a different man. He came out of there with a purpose and a drive to make th..

After the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl, head coach Doug Pederson said they were going to party. He wasn’t joking around.

The Eagles embarked on their championship parade through Philadelphia on Thursday during which millions of fans surrounded the team buses as they cruised the streets. As the bus passed one crowd, a fan threw a beer up to the bus and Pederson caught it with one hand without hesitation.

Doug Pederson’s one-handed beer catch is almost as good as Nick Foles’ TD catch

The impressive snag earned a big cheer from the crowd as the head coach and his team kept cruising. Unfortunately the video doesn’t show Pederson popping it open, but we like to imagine he shotgunned that thing with ease.

The Eagles Super Bowl parade was rowdy, but not nearly as rowdy as the riots that tore up the city just a few days..

Golf and Instagram sensation McKenzie O’Connell dropped a bikini photo for all of her fans Thursday afternoon.

O’Connell, who I once did a fun interview with, dropped the photo from what appears to be at an unknown resort. (SLIDESHOW: These Women On Instagram Hate Wearing Clothes)

It’s pretty par for the course (pun intended) for O’Connell, who has been known to bring some serious heat on Instagram. (SLIDESHOW: 142 Times Josephine Skriver Barely Wore Anything)

She certainly isn’t shy about showing off from time to time. (SLIDESHOW: 71 Times Samantha Hoopes Stripped Down)

I’m a huge fan of O’Connell. She’s a legit cool person, as you can tell from that interview, and she’s got plenty of interesting things to say. (SLIDESHOW: 60 Times Abigail Ratchford Wore Almost Nothing)
