I enjoy curling, playing the game more than watching. It has some great parts to it and can be a lifelong sport. I moved to a new city just as the ruling season started. As such, I have not thrown a curling rock all winter. This is not the end of the world but I am n my mid-thirties now and I am a headed to Victoria BC to curl in a bonspiel. This bonspiel guarantees a minimum of 3 games so it could be twenty-four ends in two days. I could be a bit sore. Curling is not the most intense sport in the world but it also doesn't have movements you do everyday. Your muscles may not be used to it.
The upsides are numerous. I get to travel to a different part of the nation. I get to play a sport I enjoy. I get to socialize with great people.
I am secretly hoping that all our games are done early. I don't want to be too sore. We could go on a win streak and boom, we could be in the playoffs. I'm not sure how it could happen but you never know and then I would be quite sore.
I am excited and I will have fun. I just hope my mid-thirties carcass doesn't rebel too much.

Super Bowl XLV
It's here.
Super Bowl Sunday has again arrived. It is the culmination of the best pro season in sports. This year it features the Green Bay Packers take on the Pittsburg Steelers. These are both quality franchises of the National Football League. They have both won multiple championships. They are both well run. The real question is, who is going to win?
I will start off by saying I usually cheer for both these teams but when they play each other I cheer for the Packers.
I think it I'll come down to who plays better, Clay Matthews or Troy Polamalu. The defender who has the better day will be on the winning team. Quarterback play usually determines the winner but I think this year it is the defence who will decide the game. I see the two very good quarterbacks performing similarly. They are both playing well and full of confidence. I think it will be stopping the run and limiting gains on 1st down to force the teams into 2nd and 3rd and long will have the biggest effect.
Time for the prediction. I think the Packers will win in a close one. I think a late defensive play will be the difference and I think a defender will be the game MVP.
Just remember, like I said before, I am a packer fan first.
