Curling?

How does a mixture of Shuffle Board, Bocce Ball and sweeping floors become a Olympic sport that lasts as long as a soccer game? I was watching curling last night when i got home from work, and according to the clock they had, it was already going on for an hour. I left go run and then go get dinner at the supermarket and when I came back and turned on the TV, it was still on! It ended 4 to 5 Sweden(god their women are hot) over America. Anyone interested in going to Kenya and competing on their Curling Olympic team? Free ride to the Olympics!

We should join a Jamican team like the bobsled program. Or Spain so we could at least train there and smoke some good cubans.:smiley17:

The US Womens curling team had some lookers.... too bad they sucked it up on the ice. I kinda like watching it... not sure why.... Texans are usualy amused at big pieces of ice... we rarely see it.

Curling should never be called a sport. EVER!!! When you have guys wearing Under Armor clothes on and they have a lil gut on them then is that really an athlete???

i'm actually became really interested in curling the other day. i was watching the start of the usa sweden match. i was tired of not knowing the fules so i looked them up. it becomes quite a bit more interesting once you know the rules because you know what every slide of the stone means. i'm pretty sure there is another match on msnbc today at 5. if you're interested go find the rules online and check it out.

Hey, at least you know when their not at the olympics they can keep the floor clean.

Hot chicks with brooms...What a concept. :smiley36:

Actually, yes.

He was a shotputter in college...

It's disgraceful that 23 NHL players go over to Italy with what is considered our best players and only beat one team. I have truly had more respect for the Men's Curling team than the USA Hockey Team. They looked good against Russia, but even in that game Russia was skating harder then they were and also delivering harder checks. Next Winter games I say USA doesn't even send a Men's Hockey Team if they are going to disgrace us like that.
