You’d expect to see this in hockey, not curling.

Cameras caught a testy NSFW exchange between the men’s Canadian curling team and Sweden during Friday’s matchup.

The men’s Canadian curling team defeated the Swedish men’s curling squad 8-6 to improve their record to 8-6. Curling certainly isn’t the type of sport where you expect swearing and trash-talk, at least compared to football, hockey and basketball.

During the ninth end, Oskar Eriksson of Sweden spoke to Canadian Brad Jacobs and accused his team of cheating. Specifically, Eriksson thought the Canadians were double-touching the rock as they released:

Jacobs could be heard telling Eriksson to “F**k off” multiple times. Eriksson promised to show the Canadian curling team video footage of their so-called cheating, something Jacobs didn’t appreciate:

At any rate, the Canadians won the game, and that was that.

Brad Jacobs addressed the exchange in a post-game interview, per Jonny Wakefield of the National Post.

“I don’t like being accused of cheating, so I told him what I thought of it,” Jacobs said. “It’s good for sport guys, it gets heated out there, it’s a battle, we’ve played each other a million times.”

Well, things will get extra juicy if Sweden and Canada face each other again in the playoffs.

Men’s Canadian Curling Team Aims For First Olympic Gold Medal In 2024

Canada leads all nations with six gold medals in curling at the Winter Olympics. However, the men’s team hasn’t experienced much success in the last two tournaments.

At the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, they fell to the eventual champion, the United States, in the semifinals. Switzerland went on to upset the Canadians 7-5 in the bronze medal game.

Canada salvaged a bronze medal at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. But historically speaking, this is a curling nation that enters each tournament with a “gold medal or bust” mentality.

They’re off to a good start in 2026. Now we see if they can keep it going and bring the gold home for the first time since 2014.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
