Every time Clark takes the Super Bowl trophies by St. Mark’s, Hockaday, and/or Highland Park, he builds his Texas fan base.
Beach volleyball says WHAT?
Actually…
KC won on the field.
Just a well coached team.
I was on a call, but I was wondering if it was possible to “reassign” RT to a different job in the Athletic Department at halftime.
Has anyone addressed that yet?
She beat four Top 10 seeds (#10, #6, #2, & #1), plus Ukrainian Warrior MILF, Elina Svitolina, who is a former Top 5 player still building her ranking back up after time off to squeeze out a pup.
I can’t recall a more impressive run for any female or male.
May have to buy a Yonex.
(I always loved them when Martina Navratilova used them.)
Sabalenka basically did a vaudeville act for her runner-up speech.
“As usual, this was all your fault. I hate you…”
More or less. She had about 4 to 6 cracks that were damned funny.
Every year I crack up that the head of Tennis Australia starts talking in her American accent.
Jayne Hrdlicka, from Wichita, Kansas… as fucking Australian as it fucking gets!
It’s only happened once or twice in this match and I have only noticed it a couple of other times I this tournament, but there is major excitement before it is warranted in comparison to the video and the crowd noise.
Do not like that the announcers are about 2-3 seconds ahead of the action.
You don’t notice except for when an announcer gets really excited and blurts something out before a point is finished or the great shot is made.
I read Tayfuk’s first name trying to figure out how he could possibly pronounce it.
I was trying to guess the ethnicity of Tayfuk’s parents? Japanese? Somewhere else in Asia? Or maybe American, but with a different background and emphasis on education when compared to my family.
Then I moved onto his last name. Ifino could possibly be Italian (pronounced “eef-EE-no”, of course), but it didn’t really jibe with that first name.
Then I imagined what kind of last name I would make up to go with that first name and…
I started watching the Sinner v Shelton at 0-2 in the first set and Sinner reeled off 3 straight before Shelton held to go to 3-3 and I thought…
That Germanic white boy from Tyrol is going to win this match in straight sets.
Shelton seemed to want to hit the net on every serve and even when he got the ball in, Sinner had the rally at a neutral exchange after his second hit.
Sinner is currently several levels above Shelton.
Must have been ESPN, because I think that is where I saw the story or the notice scrolling along the bottom.
I think that they adjusted things after that Top 100 scrub QB transferred to (transitioned at?) Cal*.
*”Cal” beat out “Cak“ for the kid’s signature.
So one rating service had Oregon as #1, but after losing a scrub QB to Cak, they fell to #5?!?!
Squeeze me?
That doesn’t make sense.
He isn’t actually also taking classes, is he?
QUITTER!!!
Sascha seems to be a big fan of Novak’s. He may or may not have smacked some bitches up, but apparently Novak has been there when he needed someone to talk to.
PIVOTING…
Women’s semifinals may be Two Matches/ One Ticket…
But the men are absolutely One Match/ One Ticket.
It continues to be comical that women get paid the same as men at the Grand Slams. It makes zero economic sense, but without it, many women wouldn’t be able to afford to play professionally.
I don't know if "her team" was on the bench with her or not, but when I heard that coaches could actually sit on the bench for the matches, I thought "No player will benefit more from this change than Madison Keys."
That girl can melt down in a heartbeat. Having someone to help her stay focused on the task at hand rather than let her go down a dark road of self doubt and second guessing would have helped tremendously over the last decade. She may actually have a grand slam trophy or two in her living room because her serve and her forehand can be howitzers when on.
Regarding waste management...
He could get in and out of the baño más rápido if they could install some fucking bidets in the locker room stalls, like they do in civilized countries.
They better be installing bidets in the locker room stalls for the World Cup.
Come on, man!
Fuck yeah, Maddie Keys!
Maddie gets to stand up there and give a speech on Saturday and get her photo taken with a silver plate (or whatever) for only the second time in her career!
Nice going!!

Speaking of gamesmanship, watch for Sonego 🇮🇹 to start grunting AFTER he hits the ball and to continue until Shelton has hit the ball.
Why players are allowed to yell/grunt after the ball has crossed the net, I have no idea. A little microphone pointed at each player could be used to award the point to the opposing player every time noise making continues after the ball has changed ends.
(Sleep with one eye open, Aryna Sabalenka!)
