To be honest with you, up until yesterday I hadn’t seen a single minute of Winter Olympic ‘action’.  I kept forgetting it was on – and by ‘forgetting’ I mean consciously deciding not to watch it.  But somehow my TV ended up on NBC yesterday, and what did my eyes behold?  Curling. 

What the hell kind of fake joke sport is this?  It’s like a lawn-game that somehow accidentally got submitted into competition.  The weirdest part was that they had two guys doing commentary, like it was some sort of actual sport.  Curling commentator has to be one of the worst jobs I’ve ever heard of.

Announcer1:  “Wow.  What did you think of that shot, Larry?”

Announcer2:  “I thought it sucked… this game is boring.”

The only job worse than curling commentator would have to be curling coach; that guy has to watch this crap go on all year round.

Curler:  “This is a tough shot.  What do you think we should do coach?

Coach:  “Umm… I think you should quit.  This game sucks.”

Curler:  “But, we’re in the finals.”

Coach:  “Yeah… the finals of curling.  Hoo-ray...  Look, if we leave now we might be able to make it over to a hockey game.”

The true spirit of the Olympics lives on.

P.S. I hope everyone is enjoying a lovely President’s Day Eve.
