The Pro Bowl tight end from the San Francisco 49ers and lifelong Olympics fan arrived Friday at Vancouver Olympic Center, sporting a royal blue USA jacket with “DAVIS” on the back and a plaid flannel beneath to cheer the Americans to their first victory. He’s the honorary U.S. curling captain and he respects the energy and time that goes into the sport and still has hope for the American rink.
“Oh, this is awesome,” Davis said when he climbed the stairs to his seat and took his first look at the ice. “Yeah, this is cool, just like on TV, outstanding.” “It’s a tough game, a tough sport,” said Davis, who was constantly smiling after flying in from San Francisco earlier in the day. “It’s not as physical as football, but it’s a tough sport to compete at. I say that because you have to be very accurate, you have to be athletic as far as holding your balance and you’ve got to be smart.”
Believe it or not, curling has sparked the interest of plenty. During the matches, my timeline on Twitter is filled with enthusiasts. I respect any “sport” but I won’t be watching. I’m just keeping it real.
More pics after the break.
