In honor of Paul Rugg's fanatical devotion to the sport, buried in his archives somewhere.

Heh. I got a curling game on the PC that uses a bit of that song over the credits. That video has some funny bits, like the numbers of the scoreboard (the traditional curling scoreboard is the most confusing part of the game!).
Alas, the USA men's team ended up last in the Olympics. They sucked big time. "I'm sick of this stupid game," the skip said shortly before conceding the final match.
The women's team fared better but I'm not sure if they got out of the round-robin play. They still made really bad shots. Nevertheless, they did eke out a win against GBR, which is a strong team. GBR had the hammer in the extra end with a fairly clear shot into the house (USA had shotrock, but only just into the 4-foot), but threw it far too wide. They knew right away it wouldn't curl enough and walked away... uh, does that make sense to you? OMG I understand curling!
You, sir, are a curler.
Not a broadcast goes by this Winter Olympics that I don't think, "Gee, wouldn't Paul be a better announcer than these guys?"
But NBC, it seems, had other little ideas.
Oh NBC... First you snub Paul Rugg and now Conan? Sigh...
