I'd take Curling any day---at least it's competitive.

They should simply cancel the game.

(56,177 posts)That went nowhere...the funniest thing was Napoleon Dynamite's routine at the beginning of the movie...where he releases the doves...great satire because you can ALMOST see a skater doing that.

(29,322 posts)I watch, saw some great catches. AFC turned it on in the second half.

By the way, if it's the best of the NFL, what happened to all the defensive players yesterday? Who gave them the night off?

(37,540 posts)The winning league gets home field advantage in the WS. Watched part of the NHL All-Star game today...same thing. It's more like a lively practice than a real game.
And I see no reason why there couldn't be a curling channel. God knows there are 100's of uninteresting cable channels available. Curling is always a great watch during the Winter Olympics...I actually enjoy watching a bunch of 'athletes' sweeping ice.
