Curling News: the Dykes Bonspiel

u do need fricking skills god damn it i can't stand ppl who judge curling. Its fucking amazing

did i hear this reporter say.... "the skip throws the hammer"? omg... do some research

oh well... I was thinking, "the skip throws the hammer" isn't necessarily an incorrect phrase... That is, until you hear it in the context used here. He clearly misunderstood someone's explanation of the term "hammer".

Curling is a great sport and a very social sport. Kids play there is mens' competition, womans' competition and mixed curling. It is one of the oldest sports played in the US. In the Detroit area it dates back to 1845 and is going strong. The club is located in Ferndale, Michigan

Otherwise, I can't help but feel a bit of pride. My father helped found the Potomac Curling Club, the year I was born. The National Capital Curling Center was the realization of a very long dream, which finally came true the year I turned 40. The video contains high praise for the NCCC's ice and the Potomac Curling Club website is on the computer screen behind the Third Eye News talking head. Nice.

This is a pretty nice curling piece and well done. The only significant omission was that nowhere did it mention the basic, primary premise of the Dykes Bonspiel, which is that all teams are comprised of players of relatively limited experience. I think the restriction is two-years or less.
