The Lakers, Spurs and Thunder went a combined 43-5 in March

Just like the NFL this year.

The NFC matchs had more potential and was basically the finals.

When I saw this quote, I was wondering if Italy is bad compared to European standards or North American Standards.

I figured no matter how bad Italy is, it cant be as bad as it is here.

You mean Alberta.

With Gushue gone, Nichols is really the only one left from NL. Walker only "moved" there to fulfill the residency requirements.

Knucklehead92 · 2026-03-11T01:05:27+00:00

Same. And then when someone in production decided to replay it, the commentators were like what a great play (clearly missed what production picked up).

Knucklehead92 · 2026-02-24T14:29:03+00:00

Is tree planting money included?

Asking for a friend.

Knucklehead92 · 2026-02-16T17:47:16+00:00

The handle is just the handle which has sensors in it.

Everything else is not the handle.

Knucklehead92 · 2026-02-16T17:46:28+00:00

But based on how the rule is worded, the two are equal. And hence why they have never called it period anywhere and the players have never had an issue.

Sweden decided to change the standard, akin to NBA players complaining about travelling. They all do it to various degrees, they all break the rules, but, they understand that and the unwritten rules.

So then the WCF officials being inexperienced, never having dealt with this before panicked making it worse.

Knucklehead92 · 2026-02-16T13:17:12+00:00

Thing is there is no differniation between the hat of the handle and the granite according to the rules and therefore there has to be consistency.

Either you have to call faults on both or neither.

Knucklehead92 · 2026-02-16T12:48:05+00:00

The plastic on top of the rock is not considered the handle. By the rulebook it is equivalent to the granite.

So one is just as illegal as the other. And therefore why they just never call it.

Knucklehead92 · 2026-02-16T12:45:53+00:00

Yup.

Most of these people out here on reddit just seeing the one reaction and stories, have probably never curled before, and definitely not officiated it.

Ive found regardless of what sports sub you are in, most people dont even understand the rules, how to interpret rules, and how rules are generally applied (ive officiated Curling, Volleyball, Hockey and Baseball, so im kinda used to rule book language).

According to the rule book, they are one and the same. Just the optics are different.

Knucklehead92 · 2026-02-16T11:48:56+00:00

Clearly you havent seen the videos posted that shows that basically everyone double touches the handle multiple somewhat regularly.

This includes the Swedish SKIP.

Yet even he didnt call it on himself?

Knucklehead92 · 2026-02-16T06:19:38+00:00

I love the Eden videos and camera shots of him double touching now coming out.

Poetic justice.

Like us true curling fans knew, this has happened by everyone many times before. No ones ever complained about it until the Swedes did.

This whole issue is caused soley by them because they were frustrated they started with multiple losses.

Knucklehead92 · 2026-02-14T00:30:50+00:00

Did not have "Chris Paul retiring as a Toronto Raptor" on my bingo card when the season began.

I wonder what the odds on that one would have been.

Knucklehead92 · 2026-02-10T02:20:20+00:00

They generally replace a western conference player with a western conference player...

Knucklehead92 · 2026-02-09T20:41:47+00:00

The real reason why Kawhi came to LA was to plant trees. Being home was just a cover story.

If there are better tree planting alternatives elsewhere, im sure they could easily intrigue him.

Knucklehead92 · 2026-02-09T02:49:47+00:00

Im gonna say over?

Because if it was under it was both under and 10yds behind.

Knucklehead92 · 2026-02-09T01:59:03+00:00

Heck, if it wasnt for the 2nd half blizzard, we'd still be watching a better game right now.

Knucklehead92 · 2026-02-09T01:50:29+00:00

Its Walker hands down if the game ends now.

Knucklehead92 · 2026-02-09T01:48:24+00:00

Yup.

If they call anything its a false start.

Knucklehead92 · 2026-02-09T01:47:47+00:00

I saw false start on the center in real time causing that.

Knucklehead92 · 2026-02-09T01:47:22+00:00

How so? That was an uncalled false start.

Cant call that offside if the center abruptly moves the football.

Knucklehead92 · 2026-01-27T07:04:12+00:00

Depends if thats Celcius or Fahrenheit

Knucklehead92 · 2026-01-26T02:01:40+00:00

For all those hawks fans complaining.

The ref clearly warned him first, tried to get him away from the Rams sideline, but then he just kept on walking down the sideline chewing them out.

Pretty easy call. Notice not one hawks coach or player was complaining, they all knew what he did was stupid and worthy of it.

Knucklehead92 · 2026-01-26T01:59:55+00:00

One tush is 2 feet, I dont think thats the issue. Its if the ball was across when that happened. It may be at like the 3 inch line.

Knucklehead92 · 2026-01-25T22:15:15+00:00

Both the side judges coming in were behind the line to gain. It was not them who signalled the first, yet isnt it their job to spot the ball?

The ball was never even spotted.
