@TSN_Sports Vic was kind enough to join me on the podcast twice. He is a terrific storyteller, and having him on the pod was a highlight of our ten-year run. Like most people, I will certainly miss his "...make the final" and, or course, his voiceovers of the montages at the ned of events.
@nicsulsky@Shoostie2010 It's changing, Nic, but for a while there, in the late 2010s/early 2020s, most curling scrums were pretty formulaic, "media training" type stuff, especially during big events. "Sticking to our process" would have made for a great drinking game cue back then. :)
@cullenoncurling Totally agree!! The curling talent under the age of 30 that has stepped away from the sport in Canada over the past 3 or 4 years should be a huge red flag.
@HansFrauenlob The key, as always, is whatcomes next. Will curling fall into its usual rhythm of being one of the breakout sports of the Olympics only to fall into relative obscuirty amongst the larger sporting populous between Olympiads? Time will tell!
@studiomccann@NBCOlympics@NBCSports Both parents come from lines of elite curlers in Switzerland so chances are that's a future Olympian right there. ππ₯
@curlingtuck@blaing99@koreydropkin I'm all good with it. That said, if we ever see a 5th-end break donnybrook between teams at the Brier, we'll know the curling emotion and intensity have "jumped the shark." π€£
@PhilShryock@cullenoncurling I agree with Korey being a good rep for the sport. I do have to chuckle at your line about "how long he has waited for the chance to represent his country." He's 30! π€£ Enjoy the final!
Random curling fact - 10 years ago today, Brad Gushue took the face plant heard around the curling world at a Grand Slam event⦠went to a hospital to get stitched up and was back before the game ended! @TeamGushue#CanadianTough
