Kerri Einarson beat Jennifer Jones in Scotties curling championship pool play, ending a 17-game losing skid against Jones. As Vitas Gerulitaitis might say: Nobody beats Kerri Einarson 18 times in a row.
Jimmy Connors had beaten Vitas 16 times in a row before Vitas finally won. In the post-game interview they asked VG what was the key to victory (or words to that effect) when he uttered one of the funniest lines in sport history: "Nobody beats Vitas Gerulitaitis 17 times in a row."
When Navy stopped their 43 game losing streak vs. Notre Dame, coach Paul Johnson wasn't as clever. He said now I won't have to answer any more questions about the streak.
Last night's rematch in the Page 1 vs 2 game was one of the best curling games you will ever see.
ReplyDeleteI saw it. It was a terrific match. Who was it though who had beaten Vitas 17 times in a row before Vitas finally won? Federer??
