  1. Agreed. 👍 You can’t beat the Weiner all alone in the stands. You just can’t beat it. 🤘
  2. I may have picked up the passport, but I know hypocrisy when I see it. Call it “The Falklands” unless I’m in the wrong company and then I just don’t mention it. 🇦🇷😅🇬🇧
  3. I wanted Ostapenko to win, because she is undefeated vs Iga, but if Rybakina beats Iga, I will be okay with that.
  4. I had about a 3 hour layover when changing trains in Gstaad, Switzerland back in ‘97, so I went into a shop and picked out a blue Swiss Army knife, because I had heard in my hostel in Madrid or Geneva that you could only get their classic utility knife in blue if you bought it in Switzerland. Picked out my knife and asked fire an engraving. (Maybe “Summer ‘97” or something like that.) I picked up the knife an hour later before heading to the train station and saw the engraving on the knife… then noticed on the receipt that I had patronized a shop named “Fuhrer Tobacco” (or something with “Fuhrer” in the name) and I believe that the shop name may have even been imprinted on one side of the blade. I mean…. Heil! It just seemed a little odd.
  5. Went to a high school graduation last night and bumped into a girl that I’ve probably known since we were in kindergarten (she’s now a mostly gray-haired mom to at least one high school graduate). Her son graduated 👨‍🎓 and is going to Syracuse in the fall to study journalism (sports broadcasting?), so this hits close to home.
  6. Not girding shit and won’t go to a single match. I’m much more likely to go to a match in Spain/ Portugal/ Morocco in 2030 than Jerry World in 2026. I’m more like to catch a 2025 Women’s Eutos in Switzerland in 5 to 7 weeks than I am to go to a 2026 FIFA World Cup match. 🤷‍♂️
  7. TCU vs TCU in Men’s round 3 “The manner in which he quietened* the pro-Wawrinka crowd in an efficient victory stood him in good stead for facing Humbert. The Roland Garros crowds can be boisterous but Fearnley, whose background in the trash-talking US college game helps ensure he does not get fazed, sapped some of the energy from the home fans in a confident start.” https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/articles/c87jl5y1qydo.amp Good to see our classless street tennis 🎾 is getting its proper respect from the British press. 👏👏👏 *in the USA we use “quieted”, not “quietened”… that’s the first time I have seen that spelling. It may be an error.
  8. OLD SCHOOL SOFTBALL 🥎
  9. 1) De Niro is old & short. 2) The platform shoes are obviously so that he could be taller than his costar in wide shots.
  10. Katie has a pretty good drop shot and a good forehand, but her serve isn’t great (plus too many double faults) and once Katie had to return a hard shot to her backhand side she was fucked. Also, Katie may have been a smidgen taller than Maddie. I did not realize that.
  11. And though he appeared to be even or better in roughly every aspect, Munar fails to hold serve when serving at 4-5 in the 5th and the match was over. Usually in close matches, the winner will win about 1 to 4 more Total Points than the loser of the match. Here, the winner won 15 FEWER points than the loser!
  12. And apparently Munar is trying to join the party. French fans will 💩!
  13. I saw that De Minaur vs Bublik score at about 4:55am before going back to sleep and it was in the second set. Just felt like this wasn’t a good matchup for Bublik. I was NOT expecting that!
  14. “Summer Lovin’” from the movie “Grease” apparently completely stole the opening riff from “Hang On Sloopy”.
  15. I went to two different THE KILLERS concerts while living in Buenos Aires. Never saw the Fighters Foo, nor ever thought about it. I like several Foo Fighters songs, I think, but can probably name fewer than 5. Probably the same thing with The Killers. Both Killers shows I went to, I went with a girl. I don’t think that I know the kind of girls who would want to go to a Foo Fighters show… 👆🤷‍♂️ So I’m going with The Killers, because I prefer to go to shows with females rather than just dudes.
  16. Florida is good at playoff hockey. A mí no me gusta. (So the Florida fans understand what I mean.) If the Stars don’t turn it around, I still want the team from the west to beat Florida
  17. Just saw that I reposted this 11 years ago in anticipation of Brazil 🇧🇷 2014 (which Argentina 🇦🇷 should have won after eliminating The Netherlands 🇳🇱 in the knockout rounds, but Higuaín started a 3 year run of failure in Finals matches). Et tu Higuaín! No matter how shit our Golden Generation play (I used British vernacular for effect), there will be other countries who will feel unbridled joy. This should be the World Cup song for every tournament. PS- The original song was dark, yet hopeful… Coca-Cola paid him handsomely to change the lyrics for the World Cup in South Africa and that created this gem.
  18. I would mind getting paid an extra $20K/mo to workout and take classes.
  19. That is quite a paragraph. Good points. ⭐️👏
  20. Just know where to look.
  21. Looked at the Rat Boys and thought- “They’re the ugliest band since The Smithereens.” Then went to the IG home page and was presented with a much more interesting (waist) band.
  22. Only positive to come out of Edmonton is a fan flashing her nice (likely fake) boobs. 182B2307-7107-4B0B-9CB1-1AB1779C667A.mov
