Who Says Curling Is Boring?

It’s a whole new language: The skip pushes the rock past the hog line while the sweepers guide it past the guard rocks to the button.

The sport is curling, the butt of a lot of jokes – the most boring sport in the Olympics, a sport based on sweeping and dreamed up by janitors.

But I got dizzy from watching the luge and the bobsled and tired of the hotdogging skiers, and found the Women’s Semifinals in Curling as Canada was taking on Switzerland. Now Canada is playing Sweden in the Gold Medal round and it’s turning out to be more exciting than I thought.

Men’s curling may be considered dull, but you can’t knock a sport that pits blond Swedish women against a Canadian team lead by an attractive red-haired skip (captain).

Perhaps it’s my Canadian ancestry, I’m pulling for the Canadians.

Now We Know 'Who Dat?'

What a great game! There have been Superbowls that have been snoozers -- blowouts int he first quarter and the other team never caught up. The Colts made it look like that might happen, but the Saints wouldn't let them.

The final quarter kept everyone awake with exciting plays, lots of completions and first downs, but the Colts had some bad breaks or the Saints had some great opportunities. Depends on your point of view.

We were a divided audience. Cathy liked the Colts because they were in blue; and I picked the Saints because ... that's who was left and I have a friend who was at the game rooting for the New Orleans team.

Can't wait to see who the winner was among the ads. We'll find out on the Monday morning shows.
