Someone asked why I haven't been posting anything on the Brier -- the Canadian men's curling championship. The reason is I don't have cable, so I haven't been able to watch the round-robin. But I did watch the final on CBC tonight. If you had told me at the beginning of the week that Quebec's Jean-Michel Menard would win, I wouldn't have believed it. But he did. Menard, who curls down the street from my apartment at the Victoria Curling Club, played well and Glenn Howard played poorly. The result is only the second Quebec team -- and most significantly, the first francophone one -- to win the Brier in Canadian history. This is a huge win for Quebec and let's hope it helps grow the sport in the province. Congratulations to the Menard team. And George, don't worry! I'm calling them tomorrow for an interview for TCN.
