Do people prefer mixed doubles curling or traditional curling? I think traditional curling can have more drama at the finish of each end when there are more stones in the house. But I do enjoy the faster pace of the mixed doubles, too.

I personally never understood the appeal of curling. For me it's like bowling, slow and boring.

I wish I didn’t, but I have a feeling this won’t end well. The pounding the lower half absorbs skiing the downhill is insane.

Bowling is way faster and more exciting than curling. Sometimes the curling chicks are hot though.

I just went with what NBC is using but if it is going to bother you that much I will change it.

I'm literally LOL'ing. Weeks of USOPP telling us it has to be Milano and making all the changes and then the broadcast company is using Milan anyway. God almighty I'll probably have 87 emails Monday telling us to change it back. Pour me a drink.

The cool thing about curling IMO is that it lets a person think I could do that . I was disappointed when the Minnesotans medaled a few yrs back they didn't grab a cooler from under their bench and crack open a cold one of whatever their favorite brew was, what a missed marketing opportunity.

Did Nate Heise's sister have a good game?

 

[NWICY]

Uhh, that dude is pretty good.

That's....possible??

Thurman Thomas played RB in the NFL without an ACL. You have to be in incredible shape with very strong leg muscles. She just might do it.
