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. https://apnews.com/bf418b707d16470daf116657933de4e0 Serious about crackers | ||

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. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

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. | |||

hello darkness my old friend |
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. | |||

Wait, what? |
Well, Winter Olympics. The real olympics happen in summer... “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||
