Posted November 20, 20186 yr comment_369574 Why not kickoff a new curling thread with this story. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/curling/curling-team-ejected-extremely-drunk-1.4910869 Quote The curling foursome of Jamie Koe, Ryan Fry, Chris Schille, and DJ Kidby was kicked out of the Red Deer Curling Classic on Sunday for "unacceptable behaviour" that included being "extremely drunk." The four were ejected from the World Curling Tour event and forced to forfeit their final match.
November 20, 20186 yr comment_369584 What idiots. I can remember some raunchy all night bonspiels I was in with my buddies. The beer was flowing but we were 18. These guys are in their late 30's & early 40's.
November 20, 20186 yr comment_369624 You can curl drunk, hell I've lost to guys too drunk to stand up and hold the broom, but you don't act like assholes while doing it. Fun drunks, not angry drunks.
November 20, 20186 yr comment_369648 Schille and Kidby have been kicked out of at least one Sask Provincials for similar conduct (not necessarily drunk, but raging angry and abuse of officials), and Koe is notorious for his drinking, and even promotes his "legend" via his Twitter account. Fry, I think, is just a moron. There are some sketchy stories from his time skipping teams on the MCT circuit in the early 2000s. All of this is to say that none of it is even the least bit surprising, but extremely sad for Fry, who is not only an Olympian, but a MAJOR spokesperson for the World Curling Tour, the Canadian Curling Association, and all of their major sponsors (including Pinty's, where he's quite literally a poster boy). I've done a LOT of stupid **** at curling bonspiels over the years....but I can't even comprehend this.

January 27, 20196 yr comment_376638 Fart noises. Sweeting let them down today. They'll still get into Scotties by virtue of the wildcard play-in game...

February 24, 20196 yr comment_381540 For the first time in her career, Jennifer Jones has missed the playoffs at the national women's curling championship. RIP 4PM Carey vs Homan 730 Oscars 830bouts Jets @ Coyotes Edited February 24, 20196 yr by FrostyWinnipeg
February 25, 20196 yr comment_381575 Man I assumed that was done after Rachel got up 5-1. I went and had a nap and come down 2 hours later and they're still playing... What the hell. What an incredible comeback. That takes a lotta fortitude. Congrats to an EXTREMELY proud Mantioban, Chelsea Carey... Huge win.

February 28, 20196 yr comment_382259 Brier starts tomorrow with the Wild Card play in game between Epping and Bottcher. McEwen/Carruthers representing MB but unless they find some previously undiscovered magic, they'll be in tough to make playoffs.

February 28, 20196 yr comment_382265 Just now, JCon said: McEwen... Why could he never put it together at the Brier?? He like the risky shots and he's not good at them.
February 28, 20196 yr comment_382266 In fairness he's hardly ever been to the Brier. In all the years that his team was the best in the world, they lost the MB finals every year. Lost to Stoughton, lost to Fowler (ouch), lost to Carruthers... I think he's only been twice. He and Carruthers teamed up this year but haven't been very good for the most part.

March 9, 20196 yr comment_383026 Well no curling trophy for Manitoba this year unless you include escapees.
March 9, 20196 yr comment_383039 No Stoughton and freaking Ferbey is second?!?! Edited March 9, 20196 yr by FrostyWinnipeg
March 9, 20196 yr comment_383041 Absolutely disgusting... I repeat: **** everything about this year's Brier....
