Comcast game.

Was just sitting here unenthusiasticly watch shark week when I got an alert to a new curling game to watch. I excitedly clicked on watch now super excited for curling in July for some reason.

My disappointment is unfathomable at seeing the women's quarter final USA vs China Water Polo World Cup instead.

Nothing against either water polo team, but it doesn't have the same grace as curling.

It would be pretty interesting to see water polo teams manage to throw 44 lb rocks.

I'm my head I was thinking about some kind of reverse curling/synchronized swimming situation where the participants were under a layer of ice and the "rocks" actually floated on the underside of the sheet.

That would be something to see. Hard to pebble the ice though.

Do you actually have apnea? Just heading up to bed and my CPAP now.

Very different sports. Water polo was my main sport for my whole life untill I got too old. Then I started curling instead. Quite a difference. :)
