NBC's Gift To Me Is Curling On Television

• 1:00 p.m. — Pool: Women's 9-Ball Championship, Lincoln City, Oregon. If you go on a date with a girl and she beats you in pool, it's probably a good idea to either never call her again. [ESPN] • 2:30 p.m. — Curling: Korbel Elite Challenge, Rockefeller Center Ice Rink. Why there's a televised curling event in the U.S. that's not being held in Bemidji, Minnesota, I have no idea. [NBC] • 3:00 p.m. — Triathlon: St. Croix Half Ironman. Half Iron? So would that be aluminum? [Versus] • 4:00 p.m. — Golf: Wendy's 3-Tour Challenge. Teams are comprised of one player from the PGA, the LGPA, and the Champions (senior) Tour. Which team gets to play with Bob Barker? [ABC] • 4:00 p.m. — Figure Skating: ISU Grand Prix Final, Torino, Italy. At first I thought you needed to have engines and wheels to constitute a sport having a "Grand Prix," then I remember that figure skaters use axels. [ESPN] NFL Distribution Maps • 1:00 p.m. — Imposing the Cleveland-Cincinnati game on the New York City market. Beautiful. [ CBS] • 4:15ish p.m. — Most of us get Miami-New England. Sorry, Idaho. [ CBS] • 1:00/4:00p.m. — If this site's timestamps differentiate from your own clock, congratulations, you're probably watching Packers-Bears right now. [ FOX]
