Interesting how some people will support a sport that they condemn.
Will there be sweet pants available?
I’m sure that Shuster was only kidding when he said “I hate this stupid game.”
As for sweet and tasty pants? No. I doubt it.
However, for Cork, I’ll set you up with some sweet Norwegian sweatpants if you were to show up … they’re all the rage.
yeah…it wasn’t shuster…
According to the Associated Press, it was Shuster:

My time to comment on the curling clubs inviting attitude. My wife and I came down on Wed and there was a line of people being turned away. I can appreciate the fact that they didn’t have the capacity. What I didn’t understand was gentlemen at the door, very rudely saying, “I guess you can come in”, and then as I passed, “You know this is a private club!”
All we wanted to do was to purchase a beer and ask questions and say hi to the other couple we came down to meet.
Its funny since we almost pulled a trigger on the membership there this year and this just makes me second think becoming a member.
Just a note to clubs that want to attract new members … Be inviting … Not exclusive … It only drives people away. Rant done. Sorry
@K -- wow… that is a total drag!!
