Curling!
As the Olympics starts, I’m glad to have HD, and a DVR. I can live without football, baseball, and most other sports, I live 99% of my life without watching any competitive sports, aside from Hell’s Kitchen – which is definitely a sport! One time every 4 years I get excited about a sport – Curling.
Curling is on track to become a young sport, and according to the Olympics web page:
Vancouver (AFP) – Curling is poised to cash in on its new, trendy image at the Olympic Winter Games. Four years ago, the sport boasted the oldest Olympian at the Torino Games in 54-year-old American Scott Baird. But it’s suddenly almost as trendy as snowboarding as teenagers get in on the act.
Well, I can’t wait. It’s the only sport that I love enough to record every episode with anticipation. I don’t even know or care who played in the Superbowl, or when the last World Series was televised, but I’ve been waiting 3 years for my Curling!
Verizon cable is thankfully broadcasting a lot of curling this year, starting on Feb 16, 2010 with USA vs Germany. Verizon is even covering men’s and women’s events separately.
