I just saw that one of the Skeleton competitors name is John Daly.

I have a hard time picturing THE John Daly dressed up in a lycra suit sledding down the track without getting a little nauseous

Dude, I personally think it's pretty badass that two NFL linebacker sized dudes are racing down an ice track at 90+ mph.

Ice Dancing!!!!! It combined the athletic talent of curling, with the gay-ness of figure skating, and the boring-ness of cross-country....

Curling is an awesome sport to watch and the strategy involved is awesome, but I am really frustrated how bad America is at it. I mean we have some of the best athletes in the world and we can't find some guys with some touch? I REALLY want to try my hand at the game!!

I have to agree....curling is great. As a long time shuffleboard enthusiast, I can really appreciate the strategy involved, which is somewhat similar. And I don't know if any of you have noticed, but some of the female curling "talent" is quite impressive, if you're pickin' up what I'm layin' down :wink:

Yeah, I always tell people I feel it's best spectator drinking sport. It's like bar room pool and bar room shuffleboard rolled up. When they pan across the crowd I wonder why nobody's drinking. And yeah, Debbie McCormick and the blond are definitely easy on the eyes.
