USA Curling announced new national team rosters this week, and with it came some surprise team makeups and one notable absence. My latest, breaking down the roster shaking and baking, including my first "Let Brad Cook" statement for the season: curlingintheusa.com/p/roster-shaki…

"That was unreal!" Bobby Lammie and Hammy McMillan win the fan vote for the best Sweep of the Season! [Presented by P&H Milling]

For decades the idea of firearms ownership in the United States has been sugar-coated and reduced to mere concepts like hunting, sporting use, or for entertainment. Unfortunately, this has resulted in dozens of negative cultural problems affecting firearms regulations, internet censorship, and lowered firearms training standards and expectations individuals have for themselves when it comes to owning firearms. At LETHAL Corporation it is our objective to bring people back to the forefront of why they possess arms – why they should train regularly – why they should carry weapons every day – and why lethality, in certain life-threatening situations, is the capability to be desired rather than vilified. We believe it’s essential that people have the ability to protect themselves and others rather than surrender this responsibility to governments or other organized groups. Our company tests, curates, and provides equipment that we believe best increases lethality, or best facilitates efficient training in knowing how to use said gear. Arms are not just something to be possessed, but also actively managed and maintained. Our company name is intentional to silence any confusion of our goals and ambitions.

A message from Niklas Edin: The Curling Academy teacher in 2003 asked his students about their long term goals. “Make it to a Nationals”, “Win the Nationals and qualify for the Worlds would be cool!” What about you? The 17-year old who just started 3-4 years earlier: “Win 5 World Championships at skip, the record is 4! 🤓 The teacher prob rolled his eyes at that point but also saw a drive and motivation that was through the roof. 🙄🤔 The 7 years to come the boy lived, breathed, ate and sh*t curling 365 days a year. “No curler can possibly train more or better!”… Then came the injuries followed by surgeries, year after year. Doctors told him to quit sports and stop training or a wheelchair would be waiting👨🏼‍⚕️”. “No sir, I got tournaments to play and titles to win! 🫡” The years passed, the injuries kept coming but the titles also started coming. The relentless work had paid off and from that point there was no looking back! 😈 8 World Championship golds 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 8 European Championship titles 🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅 3 Olympic medals 🥇🥈🥉 (Ranked #1 in the world was cool as well! 🤩) Dream of that young foolish boy came true…and then some! 🤭🥹 Which leads me to make a tough and scary decision. To quit while ahead and have time to explore what else is out there! 👨🏼‍🦯 Don’t worry tho, I’ll be close to the game, watching, coaching, commentating and hopefully playing in the Rock League! 🕺🏼 To not forget anyone, I wanna thank everyone who’s been onboard this incredible journey and helped steering the ship through storms and peaceful sunrises! To all you fans that have been so kind and happy to follow our games closely! 🥹 To family and close ones cheering from afar 🥰 I hope you enjoyed the ride!? I sure did! 🤜🤛😎 🥹🫰🥌 - Niklas Edin

A message from Silvana Tirinzoni: It all began at the age of 10, when my dad signed me up for a curling course ... Now, 37 years later, I feel it's the right moment to retire. This decision is a very difficult one. It hurts. There are tears and it's not easy to find the right words that truly reflect how I feel. It might seem crazy to step away while being part of the number one ranked team in the world, but I feel that I've pushed myself to my absolute limits. I achieved far more than I ever dreamed of. It feels almost surreal to realize that, together with my teammates, I won 7 Grand Slam titles, 5 European Championship medals, 7 World Championship medals and an Olympic silver medal. But curling gave me so much more than just medals or titles. It gave me friendships, purpose and memories that will stay with me forever. I'm especially proud of the decision to leave my well-paid job to become a full-time curler at the age of 39. It's a reminder that it's never too late to follow your passion and chase your dreams, no matter how challenging the path may seem. I'm already realizing that retirement means more than just leaving a sport. It also means leaving teammates and coaches who became family; sponsors, fans and opponents who became friends. I will miss watching Carole and Selina sweep Alina's shots for the win. But I will especially miss the moments nobody sees: the talks after the games, the shared dinners, the laughter in the changing rooms and the everyday life together. Looking back, I can't say I enjoyed every single minute. That wouldn't be the truth. There were tough moments, setbacks and challenges. Moments that made me cry and forced difficult decisions. But even in the darkest times of my career, one thing was always clear: I love curling. I leave proud of my journey, with a heart full of memories and thankful for every single person who was part of it. Thank you to all my teammates over the years who walked that path with me. Sabrina, Annina, Tanja, Martina, Michele, Brigitte, Emilie, Vera, Nicole, Sandra A., Anna, Karin, Irene, Carmen, Christine, Sandra G., Manuela, Marlene, Melanie, Briar, Selina, Carole, Alina, and Esther. You made this journey unforgettable. Thank you to Sporthilfe and all our sponsors for your trust and support. You have all been a big part of our success. A big thank you to Mirjam Ott, Ralph Schoenfeld, Heinz Muller and all my other wonderful coaches and mentors. You made me a better curler, a better teammate and a better person. Pierre, thank you for everything you are to me. As a coach, you've been amazing, but it's who you are beyond that, that means the most. Sharing this journey with you and having you by my side has been truly special. And finally ... thank you to my family for your unconditional love and support through it all. Curling will always be part of me. And I will always be grateful. -Silvana Tirinzoni

I read Redwall books growing up. Always liked them even though they became very predictable. Was unaware of the origin behind the books, but this was cool to read just now.

Brian Jacques explains where the inspiration for Redwall came from: "Among today's writers for children, I may be the luckiest one of all. During my adult life I've had several careers, one of which was driving a milk lorry (a delivery truck, for you Yanks!). One of my stops was

RACHEL HOMAN Yes, I’m still watching curling. Homan made a spectacular double runback for three just now at the Canadian mixed doubles championship. Homan/Bottcher take a 7-4 lead on Peterman/Gallant heading to the final end. Round robin wrapping up.

@TSNCurling @Film_Never_Lies @LWillson_82 I can help you out Luke: it's believed it's called "the hog line" dating back to the old Scottish days. The smallest sheep in a flock was called the "hog" and it was often culled by the farmer. A rock that doesn't get past the line is out of play or "dead". Hence, the hog line

First I scroll news about warchiefs bombing oil rigs, then I proceed to hang my towel on this thing to help the planet. We millennials are doomed in a world of baby boomers. 🥲
