I used to be in league curling for quite a number of years and enjoyed it.
Personally I find it's a pretty good game for TV and I tune in to touranments fairly often.
Good article.
Being a Northern Ontarian (grew up In Sudbury, spent my career in Timmins, now retired in North Bay) I loved the swipe at us Northerners...
"Here's how tough this field is: the goddamn reigning Canadian national champion is seen as a bit of a longshot. They brought great pride to Northern Ontario when they won the Brier last year. Before Brad Jacobs taught them to be proud of their curlers, Northern Ontarians just spent their days mining for nickel, getting drunk in Tim Hortons parking lots listening to BTO, and giving each other chlamydia."
I've done a couple of those things.
Good stuff. Is that "Sudbury Saturday Night" I hear playing in the backround?
