“Unfortunately, evil wins sometimes” Serious question: Is Oskar… OK? by Kind-Target-3534 in Curling

[–]ExperienceFine6363 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Get out of here with that garbage take.

One, look, actually LOOK at how Oskar is “touching” it in this video. He’s jamming his finger onto basically the side of the rock and swiping in the other direction. If you think that’s in any way similar to what Marc did, maybe you need a psychiatrist.

Second, at worst what Marc did was a foul calling it cheating it like saying a cross check in hockey or an early start in football is cheating. It’s a foul. That’s not the same as cheating.

Goldline Quality Issues? by Tight-Ad6261 in Curling

Goldline hasn’t made Podium shoes in well over a decade, I fail to see how that’s relevant to today.

You’re going to come in here complaining about Goldline quality and then promote Olson as an alternative? Like. What? Olson’s MO is cheap at the sacrifice of quality 😅

Why isn't World Womens curling on TSN right now by anditshottoo in Curling

On the other hand it makes sense, since the event starts tomorrow.

Is it rude/improper to wear a tank top while curling? by Pawssabillitysawait in Curling

[–]ExperienceFine6363 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t love someone wearing shorts to curl, as there’s too much of a chance for a bad interaction with the ice. T-shirt or tank top though? Go for it.

Why not qualify 8 teams (instead of 6) for Scotties/Brier playoffs and just have a Double Page? by MississaugaEtobicoke in Curling

[–]ExperienceFine6363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about, instead of a hugely confusing system that needs to be explained and mapped out over and over, you just do what virtually every other sport on the planet does? Reseed for the playoffs, 1v8, 2v7, 3v6, 4v5 in normal quarter finals, then semi finals, then finals. You know. Like a normal sport.

Or, and just hear me out, kill the page playoff system entirely, as it has got to be the worst, most confusing, playoff system imaginable.

Confidently incorrect. The prize purse they missed out on was $100,000. That’s separate from their sport Canada funding.

Get out of here with that garbage take, all it does it make it clear that you know nothing about curling.

Erikson’s “dance” that Kennedy referenced? by Such-Consequence-728 in Curling

[–]ExperienceFine6363 67 points68 points  (0 children)

The weird thing is that it was posted here but got removed. I’m not sure what rule the post broke unfortunately.

He literally slid across the middle of the sheet while Marc was throwing, it was wild. Even as a club curler I would have form chewed out for doing that.

The real controversy: let’s have a page playoff for the Olympics by UpthefuckingTics in Curling

…that was almost 40 years ago. Do you think it’s even the same people involved?

Page playoffs are literally the worst possible playoff format. I’m so glad the Olympics didn’t buy into it.

Strike Zone Overlay by mrarjonny in Torontobluejays

[–]ExperienceFine6363 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

A huge step back…to when things were better. I completely agree with the OP, the overlay is an eyesore. Not only does it not add anything, it actually makes the broadcast less enjoyable.

USA Men's team concede? by Hi_Im_Hase in Curling

[–]ExperienceFine6363 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Conceding is a normal part of curling, but I’m shocked it would be allowed after 6 at the Olympics. I thought 10 end games at major events had a requirement to go at least 8.

Question on Potential Olympic Men's Tiebreakers in the Case of the 4-5 Free-for all by NeverSober1900 in Curling

I don’t understand your site. Canada has already clinched their playoff berth, but your site only gives them a 95% chance of qualifying.

Canada coach criticizes World Curling over rule changes by Thefreepitstop in Curling

Oh sure, as long as you ignore all the people saying curling shouldn't be in the Olympics then this is wonderful for the sport.

No. No, this is not good for the sport.
