wow. Johnny Weir is such a great commentator.
i agree...Brandon's attitude towards his skating has always made me believe that he can BECOME a better skater and that he genuinely wants to develop int eh areas he lacks...but every year, the season comes and goes, but the pieces aren't coming together for him, and at this point, i think it's a coaching issue.

Johnny praises Razzano at Messing's expense, but I'll take Keegan's energy and fantastic speed on the spins. What a little fighter! Great opening 3A!
GREAT JOB, KEEGAN, GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!! 
What I love about Keegan is his powerfulness and quickness, light on his feet, one of the fastest skaters out there, and his jumps are powerful. No quad, but he saved the 3L/3T combo. and his 3A was amongst the best in the world as well.
ps: Johnny comments are really starting to crack me up, especially that opening salvo "for those not paying attention, he just shot an arrow".

When is it ever going to be closer than 2.5 hours away? Plus, it's one of those things you should see live at least once. TV takes away much of the speed and flow of the skaters. Seeing the ice coverage of the best skaters is impressive.
I knew it was going to be close between my two favorites, and I'm not surprised they went with the more seasoned & experienced Keegan Messing. This is after all his 3rd appearance at Nationals, whereas Max is brand new to the scene, and still has to earn his wings.

I know what you mean, Keegan commits and attacks.
and see Nadine, sometime color commentary is great!

I am loving Jason Brown!!
I like Jason Brown, nice performance, but this is not ice dance, this is mens figure skating, and you need to man up and at least do a 3A. And if you want to be amongst the very best in the world, if not thee best, you need a quad. Jmho.
I can tell Johnny is in love, and Tonia's give him his due, but for me, it's okay.
ps: Johnny, Scott Hamilton also said the same exact quote in reference to Oksana Baiul (i.e. "she cannot hit an ugly position).

The overall quality of his skating is so impressive. Can't lie, he's my favorite. I would luurve to see him on the podium (after Jeremy and Adam).

Jason's working on a 3a...but he's currently got an ankle injury and is not doing it this week
also, other skaters who "cannot hit an ugly position" - Adam Rippon and Sasha Cohen

OMG - dazzling performance by Jeremy!!! Total perfection. And now I will say Johnny almost spoiled it by talking all the way through it. That was just wrong. Tania too. Seriously, they were undermining him. We're here for Jeremy, not you guys!!!
Johnny doesn't seem to get that the "footwarmers" are an allusion to tap dancing, which Jeremy does in the program as well.
