Remember how much fun we agreed curling was during the 2010 Winter Olympics in that city that got burned down? We had the choke-tastic American captain, that Canadian lady everyone loved, and everyone wrote about it the same way. More »

There was a big curling game last night at the Tournament of Hearts in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. So big, in fact, that the Winnipeg Free-Press called it a "battle royale,", the Toronto Sun called it a "grudge match," and The Curling News wondered if it could be "the most compelling women's game in curling history." We'll call it the curling game that drew double the viewers of a professional hockey game on Wednesday night. More »

Jim Armstrong, the skip of Canada's gold medal winning team, was arrested for trafficking counterfeit erectile dysfunction drugs. Sounds like he was just trying to help other people get their stones in the house. [Vancouver Sun] More »

They drug test Paralympic athletes because, I don't know, God dictated they should be stuck with their disadvantages. Regardless, we have our first positive drug test. More »

This explains everything. Our men's curling team managed to lose their most recent Tuesday night league game at the Duluth Curling Club. To be fair, it is the place to be on Tuesday nights in Duluth. [NY Times] More »

The host nation's medal count is always higher than normal for a reason: the screaming crowds that psych up the natives, and psych out the visitors. But now they've gone too far; they've made Maddy cry. More »

In news that probably interests only me, they've finally benched the choking captain of our choking team of choking curlers. [NBC] More »

Nothing says Winter Olympics like a "clueless reporter tries curling" story. (Except maybe the "here's a black Winter Olympian!" story.) We take you through a typical curling experience, as seen through the eyes of every reporter ever. More »

Let's take a break from all this college basketball "madness" and talk about what's really on your mind. That's right—let's talk about curling. More »

]]> http://deadspin.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=368319&view=rss&microfeed=true It's December 23. Nobody's reading this. So let's take this time to congratulate Canadian curler Kevin Martin and his team on winning The National curling tournament this afternoon, giving him five straight curling Grand Slam titles. See what happens the weekend before Christmas? Curling updates find their way to Deadspin. This is also what I watch when NFL regional coverage gives me Lions-Chiefs.

We heard you all during the Winter Olympics, making fun of the proud, storied sport of curling. It's been more than a week, and still you mock it. Yeah, us too. But now, curling has its revenge. Ever since finding this yesterday, we have done practically no work. Yes, it's Puppy Curling. Go on, try it — we challenge you to play only once. Can't be done. More »

We're going to go light on the Olympics today, because, well, they're over (and we're sure you're all pretty hungover from all the Closing Ceremonies parties last night), but we're giving you two, because they're the Olympics and therefore sports, we guess. More »

Just because you worship curling and your island will be the last place on earth to feel the effects of global warming, it's no reason for us to ignore you. So wake up, Nova Scotia, find your mittens, fire up the wood-burning stove and enjoy a special Atlantic Time Zone edition of About Last Night. (Regular About Last Night commences one half-hour from now). And cheer up — at least you're not in Greenland. More »

Well, alright, it's not a magazine, it's a calendar. But I think you'll enjoy the Nude Curlers Calendar anyway. The Wade Blogs has gotten their paws on these titillating photos of various curling athletes, and I agree: I'll take the nude curlers over the SI Swimsuit Issue. It's not a judgment on the quality of trim involved, but you can find scantily-clad models anywhere. Finding a nude curler... well, that's just not something you see everyday. Until you click the link and bookmark it, anyway. More »

As we sit around and listen to songs about curling, we ask ourselves, "Selves, what are your thoughts on this whole Olympic business so far?" Well, here's our thoughts: Like many of you, we're enjoying the Olympics far more than we thought we would. We're not sure we can handle a full two weeks of this, but something is oddly compelling about it all. More »
