    Curling

    King-

    Why the Curling bashing? Admittedly, you wouldn't set curling to the Clash or Nirvana, but have you ever been to a live curling event? Bundle up, take a flask of brandy, and it's really quite interesting. It's certainly more interesting to me than figure skating - the skating's OK, but I have to turn the sound off to avoid the saccharin BS. Curling, OTOH, offers virtually no opportunities for the schmaltzy crap. There's even a moderately entertaining movie featuring curling called 'Men with Brooms'
