Women's curling has a lot of good-looking young women.

Did you know about this?

USA network has barely broadcast anything else but curling. Curling all week. Curling, curling, curling.


Yet, after hours of curling broadcasts, in the final 'end' of the US women vs Russia women, score tied, they cut to women's hockey.

[US curling team lost by 1]

Current Medal Totals:

NOR 13
GER 11
RUS 11
USA 10
CAN 9
AUT 6

Fourth place won't cut it. C'mon, American boys and girls, kick some butt! If Canada overtakes us, we'll never live it down.

Now if they can shoot a rifle while snowboarding, I would pay to watch that.

There is a comp where they do it on skis. They ski, stop at a target location, shoot, and ski to next target.

Silver that should have been a gold for Lindsay without the hotdogging.

I don't know why she is smiling for being an idiot. The announcers said it might have been subconsious to keep her balance (hotdog posing to keep her balance at the end-which failed)

That finish is going to go up there with Jean Van De Velde's collapse at the British Open--the poster child for the 'agony of defeat.' lol!

Is it just me, or does Johnny qWeir remind anybody else of Edward Scissor Skates. Is it his Johnny Depp patriotism, Johnny Depp look , or just his topiary desire to cut the Bushes down to size?

I saw the interview with him where he was wearing that CCCP sweatshirt and I wanted to reach through the screen and smack the sh*t out of him. I think that stunt should have gotten him thrown off the team.

And to answer your question...yes the pooft does remind me of Johnny Depp/Scissorhands too...but I think that's affected.

Still tied in overtime. (The U.S. just failed to capitalize on a power play). Good game. That Swedish goalie is coming up huge time and again.
