Sweeps Weak


What is curling, and why? I ask because, once again, these party crashers showed up at the Winter Olympics to masquerade their “skills" on the world’s top stage. Is it me, or this akin to watching a janitor sweep up after closing? Honestly, I’d rather watch women curling their hair. Even ice making. Anything else, really. And spare me all the yelling. What could you possibly be saying other than "Don't slip?" This 500-year-old Scottish "sport" has all the intrigue of doing taxes -- but no refund. What’s next? Sleeping in 2014? To think, I must wait four more years to ignore it yet again...

  1. I agree. I think if a sport is going to be considered worthy of the Olympics it shouldn't look like something I can do (and do easily).

  2. I'm sure you could curl with the best of 'em, Catherine. And for this, you can a win a gold medal. Not a mop. A medal.
