I have never really put any thought into curling, though I have seen people make fun of it online. This post has been educational! However, that clap-back at Kirstie Alley is hilarious. An embarrassing way to stay relevant.

My 8 year old just started taking Tae Kwon Do and the entire dojo tries to go beyond the technical skill of sport or form. You also practice integrity, honor, having an indomitable spirit... You have to have a parent and teacher letter showing you are making progress in improving at home and school. It's amazing.

I thought the same thing about golf and tennis too before I learned how to play. <br /><br />I haven't watched any of the Olympics because I don't have TV. I will fully admit I'm not a fan of watching sports. I think the last time I watched a hockey game was when I lived at home with my parents. <br /><br />SuzanneSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891315017218863243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-66257311778214216212018-02-24T14:47:34.953-05:002018-02-24T14:47:34.953-05:00I agree about NBC's poor coverage.

Their hosts just talk about themselves and they seem to lack knowledge of the sports they are covering. They have done a poor job of explaining various sports and a terrible job of having things follow in order. It seems that all that ever happens is that the hosts will say "Later we will be showing....something" and then another commercial. All that NBC seems to be doing is going from commercial to commercial with not any regard for what is happening with the athletes. What a waste of a once every four year event or for may athletes a once in a lifetime moment.<br />PatPat Scaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148601231866277374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-31175897334193194502018-02-24T14:14:16.023-05:002018-02-24T14:14:16.023-05:00I usually just follow ice hockey, but this time it...I usually just follow ice hockey, but this time it’s like we’re in some weird alternative universe. I mean, Germany is in the finals, how did that happen??? But I will root for them (hubby’s German...), if only because my team didn’t get to this stage (how did that happen???!!! As I said, alternative universe, that’s the only explanation...) Well, at least the women’s hockey team got bronze...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822796974112289222noreply@blogger.com
