      The curse is dead.

          Well put Chef.
          Have you noticed no one or team ever has a good comeback win anymore? It is always a choke, not a comeback. Winners deserve more credit I think.

              Agree chef. Amazing effort by Oracle Team USA in the end. The New Zealand PM even tweeted about his disappointment about the loss by Team New Zealand.

                  Good point.

                  A choke is like watching a car crash.
                  TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

                      Sailing is like polo on water (but not like water polo )

                      A bunch of rich guys with exorbitantly expensive equipment trying to beat other rich guys. Just can't get into it.

                      I'm sure the NZ team owners will dry their tears with $100 bills.
                      Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                          Owners, yes.

                          The crew, maybe not.
