I watched curling yesterday. Kaitlyn Lawes didn't look near as contented as she did while playing Mixed Doubles at the Olympics. Hmmmmm. Way to go John Morris.
The Habs are SOOOOOOOOO bad. I love it!
Curling is not a sport! Its a lazy a** version of bowling. Bowling is truly athletic to play. Wonder when bowling will get Olympic games credited status? Hopefully soon. Its a very enduring game to play, you have to be world top athletic shape.
