Reposted on: 10.2.21 2310.31 | I watched a bit today until I couldn't stand another Sharktank commercial on CNBC. It's really an interesting sport, but kind of slow. If you like golf or baseball - the strategy of either, I think Curling would be something you would like.

Reposted on: 13.2.21 0527.21 | When you watch the USA team, men or women, go up against one of the powerhouse teams, you can really see the discrepancy of skill between the two. Team GB beat the US women 13-2. I did not even know it was possible to lose by double digit points. And the men are equally over matched.
And while I love watching the matches regardless of who plays, I also love hearing all the teams scream in their native tongue instructions to the sweepers.

Reposted on: 22.2.21 1024.19 | | With the interest curling attracts each four years during the Olympics, doesn't someone in the US eventually have to bite the bullet and try to set up some sort of league or annual tournament to broadcast on TV there?

There is a curling rink in my area, just north of Washington, DC. I wish there was a semi-pro American curling league on TV that I could watch. |
