Pro Bowl or Curling?

[trumad]

I'd take Curling any day---at least it's competitive.

1. I'm With You

That's not a real game. At least in curling, the people doing it care who wins.

2. I was a bit stunned at what I was watching.

Thing is I get why the players aren't killing each other on the field. It would totally suck if you blew out your knee in a meaningless game.

They should simply cancel the game.

3. I had to turn it off

When the crowd started booing, that was it for me, too. I rewatched the Bulls-Heat game - awesome game

4. There was figure skating ON!!!!!

I bet it got higher ratings.

5. LOL

Figure Skating: (3.2 million) NBC
Beat out Blades of Glory---just barely (2.8 million) ABC

6. Blades of Glory had a great premise...

That went nowhere...the funniest thing was Napoleon Dynamite's routine at the beginning of the movie...where he releases the doves...great satire because you can ALMOST see a skater doing that.

7. Yeah--- thought it would be better but it was kind of a dud.

8. I watched the SAG Awards!

9. Can't expect much with the rules for safety

I watch, saw some great catches. AFC turned it on in the second half.

10. How about grass growing?

I'll take that to the pro bowl.

By the way, if it's the best of the NFL, what happened to all the defensive players yesterday? Who gave them the night off?

[Old and In the Way]

12. Hmmmm.....championship lawnmowing.

I wonder if the H&G Channel would be interested?

11. At least baseball's All-Star game has something to motivate the teams.

The winning league gets home field advantage in the WS. Watched part of the NHL All-Star game today...same thing. It's more like a lively practice than a real game.

And I see no reason why there couldn't be a curling channel. God knows there are 100's of uninteresting cable channels available. Curling is always a great watch during the Winter Olympics...I actually enjoy watching a bunch of 'athletes' sweeping ice.

13. Honestly I love Curling

I also love Shuffleboard in a dark bar with a cold beer.

14. Since my cable no longer carries Universal Sports, no more curling for me

Listening to everybody yell "Hard Hard Hard!" was like watching porn.
