[EX Q]: American Sage Kotsenburg won gold in the event at the Sochi Games in 2014. We brought him into the âOlympics Cornerâ today for his thoughts on how to watch. Keep scrolling to read that Q&A.
Throughout the Games  weâll occasionally bring someone in to help us better understand the Olympics. Today:  Sage Kotsenburg .
Four years ago in Sochi   Sage Kotsenburg  shocked the snowboarding world by winning slopestyle gold.  He  followed that up with what President Barack Obama told  him  was the âchillestâ interview of the Olympics.  Kotsenburg  has since stopped competing  so  he  wonât be in PyeongChang. But The Post caught up with  him  by phone during a recent film shoot in Italy to get  his  thoughts on this yearâs slopestyle event (8 p.m. Eastern time Saturday on NBCSN).
A: Three people that I would look for are an American kid  Red Gerard.  He âs absolutely crushing it right now. This course  when I saw it  I immediately thought Red can really do well here. I wouldnât be surprised to see  him  on the podium  if not up in the top five.
And then Mark McMorris  who got bronze last time around.  He  came back from a really  really bad injury  so Iâd like to see  him  do good  too. Weâve been good friends for a long time.  He âs crushing it  too.  He âs doing a really  really  really good job right now. Iâd like to see  him  up there.
Iâll give a prediction for gold: Itâs going to be Marcus Kleveland.  He âs from Norway.  He  has pretty much anything you want in a slopestyle course and more. So  if  he  puts down  his  run   he âll probably win or silver  Iâd guess.

[EX Q]: Novelist Emma Cline  is counter-suing  her  ex-boyfriend's suit against  her  alleging that  she  plagiarized  her  2016 bestseller The Girls from his own work.
 Cline 's novel â which features a 60s-era Manson-like cult as seen from the perspective of its followers â stuck around for 12 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and is the first installment in a three-book Penguin Random House deal that reportedly topped $2 million.
The former boyfriend  Chaz Reetz-Laiolo  alleges  Cline  installed spyware on her computer before selling it to him in order to record keystrokes on the computer. "Using the spyware " the complaint says  "she obtained his email password  which she then used to access and systematically surveil his private email obsessively over a period of years."
However  Emma Cline's complaint calls this "a ludicrous theory" and counters with the claim that this is just the latest in a "two-year assault on  Cline âs mental health and literary reputation" from an abusive Reetz-Laiolo. Any alleged plagiarism  the complaint states  is limited to a "few brief phrases or facts " which are not subject to copyright protection and which don't appear in the published version of the novel. Both parties are requesting the case go to trial.
Most plagiarism cases are tough to prove  and this one is made harder by both the lack of evidence and lack of copyright protections available for most of the instances of alleged plagiarism cited by Reetz-Laiolo. So why file the complaint at all? The initial 15-page letter first sent to  Cline  in February 2017 by Reetz-Laiolo's law firm Boies Schiller Flexner LLP might hold a clue: âWe believe [. . .] that it may be fruitful to engage in a confidential negotiation or mediation to determine whether our clients can reach a resolution with you rather than file our complaint â the letter states.  Cline 's argument doesn't mince words when concluding what the fruitful resolution that interests Reetz-Laiolo could turn out to be  stating his actions were "undoubtedly in the hope of a financial windfall."
One element that both parties can agree on:  Cline  did install spyware on  her  computer. According to  her  complaint   she  installed it while they were together because Reetz-Laiolo used it and  she  wanted to confirm his infidelity. Reetz-Laiolo's argument that  she  tracked his email address after selling him the laptop in 2013  after they were no longer together  hinges on the assumption that  she  somehow updated this software to allow  her  to remotely access it.
David Boies  the founder of the Boies Schiller Flexner firm  was named as an attorney in the February 2017 letter to  Cline   according to a New Yorker article on the firm  though his name does not appear in the complaint filed by Reetz-Laiolo. David Boies has also featured in another New Yorker article reporting that he and his firm worked for Harvey Weinstein to discredit women accusing Weinstein of rape. The early letter  according to the New Yorker  also claimed damages nearing $2 billion and  in a section titled âClineâs History of Manipulating Older Men â attempted to use her sexual history against her.

[EX Q]: Peter Thiel  has reportedly made an offer to buy Gawker.
SEE ALSO: Y Combinator cuts ties with  Peter Thiel 
This isn't a total surprise.  He  filed a motion in November claiming  he  was being unfairly prevented from bidding on the site.
A representative for  Thiel  did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
 Thiel  is competing with other bidders to acquire Gawker domain names and nearly 200 000 archived articles  according to Reuters. Don't worry  other Gawker assets  like Deadspin and Jezebel  were already sold to Univision Holdings Inc. back in 2016.
 Thiel  hasn't said what  he 'll do with the assets. Maybe  he 'll take them off the internet  or scowl at them in  his  vampire lair while wearing Ayn Rand pajamas.
It should be noted that  Thiel  is currently on the board of Facebook  a company with an absurd amount of influence over what media the world consumes. So  overall  not a great day for the press.
We should all donate money so someone can revive Valleywag and only write about  Peter Thiel . â Julia ð Alexander (@loudmouthjulia) January 11  2018
I think it's time to explore the idea that  Peter Thiel  is actually a stupid person with bad ideas and also is highly reflective of Silicon Valley culture. Having money doesn't make you smart. The ability to make money doesn't either. â Joshua Topolsky (@joshuatopolsky) January 11  2018
There's no guarantee he'll win the bid or be able to clear the legal challenges involved  so there's still hope that  Thiel  goes home empty-handed.
