Where are the curling fans? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Is anybody else enthralled by this Olympic sport, curling? It's exciting! Not as exciting as ice hockey (go USA!), but I digress.

I don't think I could be one of the guys who throws the stone, but I could be one of the guys with the broom who sweeps it down the ice.

Whenever I watch that, I always think to myself, I must be missing something here. The 'play by play' announcers are funny to listen to. I'd like to know the history of that sport. I have trouble getting people to understand my attraction to running miles and miles so I can empathise with curlers trying to successfully explain their passion.

I think it is an interesting sport. I've seen it a few times. It reminds me of shuffleboard.
