It's pretty clear from watching everything during that time period, that Scott and Tessa were just as close and perhaps even closer than they were before.

Meanwhile, Jessica openly mentioning him at every opportunity, both of them doing facebook fan sweeps, the Dominican photos already up for the enjoyment of all, not mention many other photos and "lover" wallposts. <br />Yeah, Scott being respectful of his fans and his skating partner.<br /><br />Oh, and least we forget. The "private" relationship openly paraded, but his professional partnership, the business friend, the "sister," hidden completely from view. You'd think she didn't exist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583966972735299482.post-9685222463865393402011-08-31T17:59:28.049-07:002011-08-31T17:59:28.049-07:00PJ Kwong told what I thought was a sad story about...PJ Kwong told what I thought was a sad story about Virtue Moir at an event with Audi execs, and Scott kind of hinting how cool it would be to drive an Audi to the rink. FF and Joannie Rochette has the Audi because of IMG. PJ Kwong acted like the story was sweet but I thought it was typical. Scott and Tessa have a lot of body butter and some Roots gear they're already casting off to the Dube family and other figure skaters. Not that they're hurting for money, but Audi chooses the (potentially) retired bronze medalist over the still-competing Olympic gold medalists.Ann Onimoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694481524473649534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583966972735299482.post-57017993360110763402011-08-31T17:46:46.708-07:002011-08-31T17:46:46.708-07:00Last anon; clearly Skate Canada is incompetent to ...Last anon; clearly Skate Canada is incompetent to do so.Ann Onimoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694481524473649534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583966972735299482.post-46953784505062347312011-08-31T17:40:36.944-07:002011-08-31T17:40:36.944-07:00Joannie Rochette is signed with IMG.

One wonders if Skate Canada encourages its skaters not to sign with a professional agency like IMG until after they've stopped skating competitively? Of course, if that's the case it doesn't make much sense, since Meryl Davis and Charlie White, Mirai Nagusu, Adam Rippon, Miki Ando, Mao Asada, and other skaters who currently compete as amateurs are signed by IMG. <br /><br />I find all of this terribly disconcerting because Tessa and Scott are the best thing to happen to ice dance in decades, and will probably go down as one of the greatest teams ever. And even if they don't want their faces splashed all over Canada in dozens upon dozens of marketing campaigns, there's no reason why Skate Canada shouldn't take advantage of what they've got in their hands and actually use them to grow fans for the sport, targeting kids and their parents. Instead, they manage to botch things up at every opportunity and have turned Tessa and Scott's PR into a huge joke. It's sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583966972735299482.post-51612187441310612732011-08-31T16:29:42.670-07:002011-08-31T16:29:42.670-07:00At this point the bar is so low it should just be ...At this point the bar is so low it should just be placed on the ground so they can then come along and trip over it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
