If they make the podium I hope that they’ll stand for the National Anthem.

I recall that a team of Canadian housewives won Olympic gold in curling a few years ago.

“Defensive lineman Jared Allen retired from the NFL in 2015 and wasn’t ready to give up on the competition he’d come to enjoy as a five-time All-Pro.

His solution: The Olympics.

The problem: He didn’t compete in any Olympic sports.

Less than a year later, Allen and three other former NFL stars — none with any prior experience — are attempting to qualify for the U.S. national curling championships against players who have been throwing stones for most of their lives.

It would be the first step toward competing in the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing.

I doubt Allen or Bulger would kneel for the Anthem. I'm not as familiar with the other 2 members of the team.

I believe we established late last year that Curling was best played while drunk.

And smoking a cigarette.

Curling is bowling for rich people. Curling is done in private clubs of which one has to be a member.

I think I remember seeing a photoshopped video in the "enough with the cat pictures" thread that shows a curling team in action, but using a cat instead of the rock (or whatever it's called)?

There are few things in life that are more exciting than a good game of curling.

How curling is in the olympics I will never understand. What next darts?

I have relatives from Minnesota that do it in a “beer league”. It’s more like darts up there.

Well, Winter Olympics. The real olympics happen in summer...
