This post is brought to you by the people who still think Ryan Miller is the man.Despite the fact that the whole country seems captivated by curling, John Shuster, captain of the U.S.A. men's team is not having a real enjoyable campaign in Vancouver.
Last night, Shuster's team fell to the Swiss, 6-5 is overtime, putting them at 0-3 in the 10-team round robin tournament. Only the top four teams advance past the round-robin, and USAToday.com is predicting it will take six wins to advance. The odds don't bode well for Shuster and Co. To add insult to injury, the savages tracked down Shuster's wikipedia page this afternoon, and the additions were scathing - see above. Luckily for Shuster, who just wants to represent him country and throw some stones, Wikipedia remedied the situation in a timely fashion. Just minutes ago, 43 edits were made to the page which is currently devoid of any 2010 Olympic curling shortcomings. Shuster may now return to pondering how to cope with the jerks from other countries always blocking the house.UPDATED: The U.S. is now 0-4
Working on a post for the agency blog that lists the major sports blogs setting up separate hubs for Olympic content - like what Yahoo! Sports is doing with Fourth Place Medal.
Here's a brief conversation I had with A.J. Daulerio, Editor of Deadspin, on this...
ME: Wanted to reach out and inquire as to whether you'll be setting up a Deadspin Vancouver Bureau (a la the Beijing Bureau).
AJ: Do you know any weed dealers? We're looking for weed dealers.
ME: HA! If you're you're having trouble finding them (in Vancouver), you're not trying hard enough.
AJ: Hey, we're not out there, man! If you have some ears to the ground then let us know! We want a first-hand report from the weed dealers.
Oh, those crazy British Columbians and their rarely paralleled love of marijuana.
