Don't get me wrong, I lo-o-o-ove the Winter Olympics

Two hours of curling in prime time is about and hour and 45 minutes too much.
"Dear NBC, Please show curling at 4 o'clock in the morning when normal people aren't watching."

But it's probably like golf - enjoyable to do but watching, not so much.

If you pay attention and try to understand the strategy.

The mixed doubles especially is wonderful, moves very fast and lots of emotion.
