I heard them say earlier today that they're just out there trying to take crazy shots and stuff because they're out of it. I would've played this match drunk if I were them.

poor, poor shuster.

this is hard to watch.

this stupid sport seems like such a waste of time to actually compete in. the precision that it takes to just be average is ridiculous. the analysts make more comments about missed shots than shots that were put right where they needed to be....because NOBODY puts a shot where it needs to be.

Watching Bode Miller redeem himself with 3 medals and a possible 4th tommorow night I wonder if Michael fatass Wilbon has done a Mea culpa. I remember the last Olympics where to trashed him night after night.

i think that's just the reflection of success in curling being more about the quality of the poor shots and less about the quality of the good shots. in that way, i liken curling to golf.

Shuster just got a point!

even the good teams will make a shot, and that Canadian chick will say something like "Oh they didn't want it to roll that much." It's like every shot gets screwed up somehow. such a pain in the ass to even follow.....especially when your country sucks this bad at it.

That's because the curling analysts are twats.

Dick Vitale should do curling play by play.

EDIT: Actually, Gus Johnson should.

It's hard to fathom how NBC thought that showing less live events in Canada than they did halfway around the world was somehow a good idea. But then, the last time NBC had a good idea was about 1994...

they had a good idea with Studio 60.....they just canceled it out when they decided to cancel it.

I think this was on last night or is going to air soon. It's about a snowboarder that got a very serious head injury from training earlier in the season. Kevin Pearce was one of the very few people in the world who could have given Shaun White a run for his money in the Olympics.

poor, poor shuster.

Fuck him. The guy is obnoxious as fuck. By the end of yesterday evening, I was enjoying every shot he missed.
