Congrats to all the other curling teams that medalled. I am always in awe of the SUI curlers, esp the Tirazoni rink. Paetz must have ice water in her veins.

You have no idea. Look up broomgate, according to that fiasco there are still teams that have hard feelings.

Before the hog line and on the granite. A curling rock weights about 40 pounds (38-44). Curlers practise their slide and their arm extension for a smooth rock delivery. A finger touching the rock would have zero effect on the rock afaik. It might be wise to remove Marc Kennedy and put...

thanks. :) I imagine that some of these contracts could be quite complicated, but with a standard x dollars for training, ice privileges but then very individual for other things. ie you can not disicipline said skater ever. It must go thru the skating federation and you can only talk to...

No reason, springboard. I have, and I'm not finding what I'm looking for.

How does something like IAM work? contract with individual teams or the skating fed and the teams or? And what do the contracts specifically say about certain things? Not that I'm sticking up for IAMS but who has the power?

The Name Game - Shirley Ellis

Paint it Black (any version), Beth Hart, Requiem for a Dream, and everything listed here and probably more that we've forgotten. ;)

Yeah I know. It was kind of a rhetorical rant in a way.

Yes this. Didn't f/b see this? Did she want a chance at a more successful career than she had at all costs? Does she not have an ounce of compassion to how this looked? Did she think 2 self involved men had her best interests at heart here? I am just gobsmacked that there wasn't one...
