Curling was that bridesmaid you wanted to pass the time with for a handful of days. You never intended your relationship to get serious, the moment has passed and you wish they'd stop insinuating themselves back in your life. I get it. Really. You don't care about curling anymore. You never really cared about curling. You especially don't care about Chinese curling. But maybe you should care for just one more story, because it involves your country.]]> http://blog.sportscape.tv/2010/03/11/3027/ Last week, America's repository of historical artifacts denied acceptance into its collection the suit that O.J. Simpson, the 18th-ranked all-time career rusher and two-time murderer, wore in court on the day he was acquitted (of the murders, not the rushing yards - I'm not sure how one would be acquitted of that.

The chart details the water consumption (or non-consumption) during the game. The big revelation? Nothing that any true sports fan couldn't already assume:]]> http://blog.sportscape.tv/2010/03/09/the-day-the-canucks-synchronized-tinkle-time/ I'm from Chicago. A city where the echoes of Michael Jordan refuse to quiet even a decade after he swished his last United Center basket. Since M.J., Chicago has seen some bad Bulls teams. None of them, however, were so bad that a cup of java was equivalent to a seat in the 300 level. Enter the D.C.
