All I know is I'm missing my Law and Order: CI reruns because of this curling shit on USA network.

I blame: iBeeb.

Your rage amuses me.   :cool:

So since I'm stuck at work, tell me who is winning in curling?

ger 7
USA 5

end 10 whatever that means.

Edit: US conceeded.

It's like an inning I suppose.

And I guess Martin won in extra ends.  But against Norway?  :rolleyes:

Curling is more fun to watch than it seems. However it does require a room full of friends (a bar is a good place to watch it) and copious amounts of beer. A close game with something on the line makes for great viewing.
I remember watching the curling at the 88 Olympics in my university pub and it was a lot of fun.

So sort of like Love Boat.

I think I'm going to sneak in my 7" portable TV tomorrow so I can keep tabs without having to rely on you goofballs :P

I'm shocked you don't have one of those FloTV things. You seem to have every other gadget known to Man.  :)

Are you stupid or just ignorant? I can't watch that site from Sweden ever heard of broadcasting rights?

NBC's crew are too busy laughing about a loony joke to pay much attention to the game.

Biathlon is easily my favorite event in winter sports. Cross country ski racing and rifle shooting. A fun combination. :)

:thumbsup:

Mine, too. I love the biathlon.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Yes!!! Swedish gold in the 12,5km mens biathlon pursuit!  :showoff:

$200 up front & monthly subscription.  No way in hell.  That product has "fail" written all over it, unless they can build that into a smartphone & include the (reduced) subscription fee on your cellphone bill.
