I was really pulling for la reina de badminton. 🏸 🇪🇸 v 🇨🇳 🏸 And just like that, she goes down and probably is out with a knee injury. Up 1 game and 10:5 in the second. Carolina Marin 😢

They call that section… ”The Sybian Stretch”

I do like the ref for that match. She gives the big-eyed stern look when she means business.

Dani lost going… 1-6, 6-2, 1-4 (w) Danimal no finish.

Australia is an island of Wilda Shit Beasts. PREGUNTA: Why is Trinity Rodman number 5?

Fuck the Mayans’ JV squad!

We know that I’m an Argentine god, but full disclosure: 1) I don’t think that this Argie team is very good, and… 2) Javier Mascherano kind of sucks as a manager. Loved him in 2014, when he was Argentina’s best player, even though Messi won the golden ball for the entire tournament, he wasn’t even the best player on his own team, but… Mascherano has a series of meh results. 3) I expect the Frenchies to win 2-0 over my people.

Nippon! Always fun to see Brazil take it in the tuches.

Gerry: “Sark and his coaches recruit through the escrow.”

Jimmy Conrad looks absolutely ridiculous with pink hair.

Sandusky would say that at the point in the locker room tour when they reached the showers.

They will never be awarded a large tournament in the futur… Check that.….ANOTHER huge tournament…

China ladies are taking it too the Fijians.

Ignoring the team name next to there score, I saw the Green/Yellow uniforms and kept thinking that we were playing Australia. Oops Some of our women have been studying Big Derrick Henry’s stiff arm technique.

Just turned on the TV, but on MUTE so as not to wake a sleeper. What’s with the pause in the the Women’s 🇺🇸v🇦🇺 match?

You need to add a lot more broccoli to your diet. Drink a lot more water, and if you’re at home, get a bidet. 20 minutes is way to long for a healthy person to spend in the bathroom. Make the adjustments for your sake and for rugby’s sake.

Just realized that this wasn’t the Olympic Soccer thread. 🤷‍♂️

Fox doesn’t have the Olympics. They have never had the Olympics. EVER.

I sat next to a seemingly really nice guy about my age at a wedding on a “yacht” (mini cruise ship with 110 guests) completely occupied by guests for a wedding party. The wedding couple were both having their 2nd wedding, both grew up in Texas, both Harvard Law grads, the whole long-weekend (Fri->Mon) event was free, everyone should have been in a great mood. The guy next to me at Friday night’s dinner went to A&M for undergrad and Texas for his MBA. The event was MLK Day weekend, so ~ mid January-ish. A&M had a ton of directional school transfers lined up and one stud from Purdue. The guy was excited and asked me what I thought. 1) I said that the Purdue guy was really good, but most of the transfers were not as strong. 2) He asked me about their new O.C. I mentioned that I thought that he wasn’t a good fit for their QB. He objected. I told him that I thought that the QB was very good when standing, but doubted that he would be healthy at the end of the season. I questioned their OL. 3) I never talked about what I thought Texas had or how well they would do. 4) He told me that Texas fans always talked down about A&M and the team’s success. He seemed “simple”, but did get into UT for an MBA in the mid ‘90s, I would guess, but couldn’t handle an opinion that differed from his due to it coming from a Longhorn. He basically avoided any interaction with me for the rest of the dinner, and we never spoke again for the rest of the 60 hours on the boat. EVERYONE seemed to get along on that boat, but I think that I hurt his feelings and he was determined not to allow negativity to affect his weekend, so that was it.

It’s about time a Russian ruled in Romania! It’s literally been since before she was born that there was a Russian backed Romanian dictator ruling in Romania, unless the old ways are back. Anna Kournikova has a Grand Slam doubles title to go along with other doubles titles, but she never won a single WTA singles title, so winning in a retirement is better than nothing.

Going full Verne Troyer on steroids! Recruiting through the whistle! Hanging around the rim! Waiting to see how this will play out throughout the season!… If that makes any sense. Hardest phone call Josiah Sharma is going to have to make is to called the [Oregon] staff that he has been committed to and tell them that he is not coming. That’s all I’m going to say. (Until I say more.)

At the end of the [game], Canada doesn’t have Jordan Morris, Gyasi Zardes, and/or Aaron Long… …either. #studfarm

I would be racking up 20 to 30 minutes per game in the penalty box. 🫱( o )( o )🫲

Anyone else suddenly an expert on Women’s Handball? Or just me?
