The U.S. mixed doubles team kicks ass.
One of the hottest teams in Cortina was no match for Team USA in the first session of play on Day 3 of mixed doubles curling action at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Here's my story about today's win over Canada.

One of the most physically awkward things you could ever try
I went curling a year or two ago and it’s probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.
Rodger,
These guys have to not only throw the rocks….but then immediately jump up without falling on their face or ass, and sweep the rock they just tossed?
Feels like a ready-made grievance for the curlers’ union.

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are
his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post

Many people are saying the Bills/Sabres are ditching WGR because they want to control revenue streams not because they want to avoid being criticized but I promise you, it's both.
