Glenn Howard

I've never really liked Glenn Howard. When his team is winning, he gets cocky and arrogant (doing very quick handshakes, not even sweeping some rocks while the game is still on, making jokes about things outside of the game), and when he is losing he is quick to place blame everywhere but himself (like last year when he kept blaming Johnny Mo for phantom hand prints on the ice that apparently only Glenn's rocks were affected by).

Well, here is yet another example. Glenn lost to Jeff Stoughton and Team Manitoba yesterday to eliminate him from this years Brier in Calgary. Glenn had curled 88 percent for the week before putting up a stinker in the Semi-Final with a 68 percent. Here's what Glenn had to say after the game:

"That wasn't a very good game. I was disappointed the way that one ended up. It was tough and I let the boys down a bit there. I didn't play very well," said Howard.

"The ice was a little different tonight. I don't know how many times you see Jeff Stoughton and Glenn Howard miss that many draws."


Wow, you know if he would have just stopped after that first paragraph, he would have taken the high road - and he would have been right. But did you really think Glenn could make it through a loss without blaming the ice? Glenn, you curled like crap. Suck it up and take the high road for once. And what's with referring to himself in the third person?
