If you're for something to listen to...

For years, players have been too afraid to talk about it. But now, the truth about a broom that almost destroyed curling is finally coming out.

Over the course of six episodes, semi-professional curler and fully professional comedian John Cullen (Blocked Party) is exposing the unbelievable, never-before-told scandal that rocked the sport of curling. Yes, curling.

Einar doesn't have a good team right now... It's a rag-tag throw together. Incredible that they made the final. Homan, after years of lost confidence, has her swagger back and is a robot. No beating her.

Einar been better for sure but Val seemed to have the shakes just throwing the rock which is not good for any curler.

Andrew Paterson was comparing it to Hogan coming out with the NWO and I chuckled... Ya she's dead to me as long as she's associated with them. 

As for Val, I thought she was their best player last night. Their front end just isn't good enough for this level. They need their regular players back.

Jones just needs to hit a leg drop on Einarson next tournament to make the heel turn complete! Or maybe on Lawes since they played together for so long.

I don't get the format. Six franchises with corresponding mythical curling clubs with no information on where these teams are located. Like, Saskatoon & Winnipeg? Edmonton & Calgary?? Minneapolis & Fargo? New York?? Vegas?? Japan? Norway,?? Zurich, Switzerland?? Are they going to play in tournaments in one place?? Like the XFL & USFL? I just can't see this lasting.

Peterson looked good in the Oly pre trials event and has been solid in Tier 2 events on your. Lots of upside with that team. Einar will be Team Canada at the Scotties because Homan is in Italy and declined the spot, so we'll have at least 2 teams at Scotties and possibly 3 as Einar's former Wild Cars spot is open, which might end up going to Lawes, who might (??) be the next highest ranked team. Looking forward to the Scotties next month... And the Select will be at the start of Feb, as well, so not far off.
