Winless U.S. team decide to sit skip Shuster
The United States men's team, rocked by four straight losses to start the Olympic Games, decided on some drastic measures for its next game.
American skip John Shuster will sit out the team's game against France on Friday afternoon.
In his place, alternate Chris Plys will call the game and throw third rocks. Jason Smith will throw last stones.
The move came in a meeting Thursday evening after Shuster missed his final shot in a 7-6 loss to Denmark. Head coach Phil Drobnick met with the team and support staff and the decision to sit Shuster was made.
The American skip reportedly took the news in stride, saying he would be the best alternate he could be and help out in any way possible.
The team will decide the lineup for future games on a day to-day basis.

Thank goodness tandem luge is not like a hybrid of luge and skeleton (i.e. position of both racers)...

Oh what a great loss...
But women's teams as I said are cutie's, now have been seeing the other teams. Russia and Denmark
And the main chick for Great Britain Muir I think is her name, those eyes could have me doing just about anything she want's.

Blame Canada for making the game. They couldn't just use a shuffleboard table, they had to put it in their backyards and make it 10 hours long.
I know it's really from Scotland, but they were drunk to start with. It's Canada that we really have to blame for it.
