During quarantine, all sports were canceled. ESPN was playing games from the Eighties, Nineties, and early 2000s. This was a big gap in our lives, and sports-lovers sured did miss their sporting events.
This is a humorous video using a Rooma vacuum and a Sifter mop to simulate the sport of curling.
