Charles Barkley on Olympic Curling

To my Canadian friends (Dunc Mills, skp, ...),


From the LA Times NBA column:


Charles Barkley on the Winter Olympics: "Curling is not a sport. I called my grandmother and told her she could win a gold medal because they have dusting in the Olympics now."

I would ordinarily go postal on Sir Charles or anyone else who mocks The Roaring Game, but in this case, I just consider the source.


This so-called analysis coming from the Pillsbury doughboy who probably, no, undoubtedly! couldn't bend down far enough to get into the hack. I would pay BIG dollars for video of that scene!


Charles is probably still ripped at Canada from his experience in Edmonton at the World University Games in 1983 when he was the so-called leader? of the US team that got their asses kicked by a bunch of no-name Canadian kids.


Stick to elbowing Angolans in the face, Fat Boy! You know not of what you speak. Out.
