An open letter to the Olympic US Mens Curling Team
by bacon on Feb.18, 2010, under Off Topic
Dear John Shuster, et al.,
I”m sure you’re lovely individuals. Your demeanor on the ice suggests you exemplify the best in sportsmanship and taking ownership of your own faults. I love watching your games, and cheering on the US of A.
But GOD DAMN IT, Why, John can’t you make a clutch shot in extra ends. I can deal with watching other teams make incredible plays and win matches, but you guys simply need to make normal, relatively run of the mill plays, and you can’t. 3 times now I’ve seen you in position to win in extras, and you can’t do it. Germany beat you handily, they were better that day for sure. Norway, Switzerland, and now Denmark are not decidedly better teams. You’ve had every opportunity to be 3-1 in competition and you’ve BLOWN every one. Get your heads out of your asses, NOW!
