The Resume

    (November 3, 1982- )
    Born in Chisholm, Minnesota
    Curler
    Skip of the last place United States men's curling team at the 2010 Winter Olympics
    Won gold medal at 2018 Winter Olympics; bronze medal at 2006 Winter Olympics
    Was a member of the United States men's curling team at the 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2009 World Curling Championships

Why he might be annoying:

    He gained a degree of infamy during the 2010 Winter Olympics for costing his team three of the first four games in the tournament.
    In each case, he was unable to make an easy shot.
    After this stretch, the team decided to bench him for a game, something unheard of for the leader of a team in curling. And they ended up winning the ensuing game.
    The hatred expressed for his performance on sites like Facebook and Twitter grew to the point where even the commentators had to take note.
    During his last game of the 2010 Winter Olympics, he could be heard saying 'I hate this stupid game.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    His appearance gives the impression anyone can make it in curling.
    He took the criticism directed to him well.
    He likes to golf, fish and hunt.
    He has a day job as a bartender.
