The Brier

As the blog draws to a close I thought I would talk about something a little different. That's right the Tim Horton's Brier. I think there is somthing distinctly Canadian about the whole event. I mean it's a major(alright major for curling) sports event and it's sponsored by a coffee/donut chain. Oh yeah and the major womens tournament? Sponsored by a paper towel company, Scotties. Now granted curling is not the biggest sport in the Canada but it does see some pretty good airtime up here.

I think the reason I chose the Brier to talk about this time is the fact that it is a smaller sport. It gives you that comforting feeling that you and a few other people enjoy it. Curling also brings that sense of community and friendship to the game. I mean for the majority of the game there is actually very little going on. But there is always talking. Talking to the other team, talking to the teams on the sheet right next to you and talking to your own team. Hell that sounds like a community to me. People getting together, having fun and talking.
