I tried to start another thread on it. It's on A&E. It follows a season of the TXRD Rollergirls, a league in Austin, Texas. It follows the players lives and then each episode ends with highlights from that week's match. I like it, except way more of the girls are hippie-types than I expected.

Friend O mine said that Bryant Gumble really stuck his foot in his mouth 'bout the olympics, did you guys catch any of it?
I really dont want to get into what he said, but guess it was along the lines of a B/W issue!

Keyhole,
I take offense at the skiing and shooting comment. I tried snow skiing a year or so ago. Don’t know if you’re old enough to remember, but my skiing experience was like the old ABC "Wide World of Sports" reel they ran with "the agony of defeat" by-line. I rolled well, but looked like a one legged fireman trying to kick down a door, when it came to actually skiing. I felt lucky to survive.
I tip my hat to any sumb*tch that can ski down a mountain and maintain nerve enough to shoot a rifle. If he actually hits anything, that’s a dude I fear, don’t care what language he speaks.
Can’t speak firsthand on the curling, the sweeping guy has a cool job. He! he!
Robo329, the comment whatever it was doesn’t count. Only non-gay white guys can make official "racist" statements. Read the rule book!

Keyhole,
You’ve got a point there. Probably you are 100% correct. Two or three guys were sittin around bragging about their skiing, having a cold drink of some kind of grog. One guy tries to one-up the other and says that " I ski the best, and I shoot dinner on the way home to the wife." "Bull*sh*t" say the other two, "lets see it." So they pick a spot, make a wager and have a go at it. Thus the "sport" was born. But, I would add that the better of the three was heavier, as he brought home the most "bacon."
The fat dude capitalized on the deal and became a promoter of the sport with his winnings, aided by the other two who sought to make up their losses.
Right here, on this forum, utilizing keen investigative skills and deductive reasoning, we have discovered the origin of this "sport."
All kidding aside, I would bet that it is not far from the truth. Remember NASCAR started out from "moonshiners" trying to outrun revenuers…….
