What an incredible and well deserved honour. Robin was my guest on episode 45 of @CurlingLegends Podcast. One of my favourite talks.
We are honoured to name the First Team All-Star award after Robin Wilson. Learn more about her impact on Canadian women's curling from this TSN montage. #STOH2024
Orest was my guest on episode 78 of @CurlingLegends Podcast. curling.libsyn.com/episode-7…

Even the greats make mistakes. Anyone remember 2009 men's world championship? Also, let's all be nice to the people watching on TV, they help pay the bills.😉

Question @ShaneRyanHere what do you consider a “blow out”. Golf Channel used the term “lopsided” In these team events, a single match impacts 2 points (not one). For example, losing 18-12 is only a loss of 3 matches, (not 6). Is losing 3 matches out of 30 a blowout?

Not Gen Z but the most difficult part of Zach Lowe being let go is the de-emphasis on what makes sports so great. Listening to experts who are passionate and intelligent about what they study will always trump a hot take constructed to get a rise out of a ton of people.
ESPN is wrong about what type of NBA content they think Gen Z wants trib.al/vDZJkLt

After 12 extraordinary years, today is my last day to work at CBS Sports.
That is a surprisingly difficult thing for me to type. It has been a dream job in so many different ways.
I will write more about that experience and what's next for me in the Normal Sport newsletter starting tomorrow.
To read about all of that, you can sign up right here.
❤️ you all.

Interesting how team events often considered “lopsided” victory. 18 1/2 and 11 1/2 is 3.5 matches - not 7 (a match scores 1 but also takes a potential point away from an opponent). Maybe they should count total holes won instead of matches? sbnation.com/golf/2024/9/30/…

My first response is Joey Browner. Then I think of another dozen greats. Shout out to this legend who has not been mentioned. Left the game early and kept most of his scruples intact.

No mention of NBC/Peacock golf?
