LOL Sophia Smith's FOTMOB rating went from 6.3 at the half to 8.5 and MOTM.

gop has lost ALLLLL of the people good at this. it's nothing but MAGA grifters who have no idea what they are doing.

Phenomenal finish. Smith had been horrible until that point.

Many followers not familiar with the military are asking me “so what’s the big deal about a command sergeant major?” Walz joined at 18 as a private. Rose through the NCO (sergeant) ranks, each requiring extreme competence at increasingly demanding jobs with more people & responsibility at every rank. When you reach “Master Sergeant” you are selected to serve as a First Sergeant (1SG) of a unit…if you’re good enough. Then, those 1SGTs compete for selection to Sergeant Major. Only the best Sergeant Majors are selected for Command Sergeant Major (CSM) billets. CSMs serve as the senior enlisted person in the unit and the advisor to Commanders at battalion and above. Having served with dozens of CSMs as my unit & command “battle buddy” I will attest they were all awesome. They know what they’re doing. They uphold standards. They speak their minds to all ranks (private to generals). They’re not afraid of getting bad news because they know how to fix things when they go wrong. And they serve the command (their commander and their soldiers) with a selfless integrity and a complete dedication. During social events and informal occasions, they’re usually a whole bunch of fun. And they always have great stories. But they’re always professional. So, those are my thoughts on Command Sergeants Major. While I don’t know the details of @GovTimWalz career wearing the cloth of our country, just the fact that he volunteered to serve and wore the CSM rank tells me a lot about him.

Holy shit that's the best they could do?

DQ'd Kenyan runner won her appeal and got her silver medal back.

My oldest kid toured CU last week and the stupid guide wouldn't shut up about Deion ("Coach Prime"). He's definitely got a cult-like following there.

Based on what little I read the scope of the selloff is an overreaction and it's more related to interest rates than the jobs report.

Friday's jobs report and people want the Fed to cut interest rates now that inflation is under control.

Yup. Dude swam 1.5 seconds faster than his final time. You should be faster with a rolling start but not that fast.

I'd put them #1.

I've watched Finke’s race three times now. It was fucking epic. I think that he found something that he didn't know he had. This may not be the last WR he breaks. The ladies fucking CRUSHED that relay. As great as the other three are I think that Lilly is going to be very hard to replace.

No way China’s breaststroke swimmer is clean. That's what won them that race.

McLaughlin ran a faster split at the 2022 worlds. Dunno why she wasn't in this relay.

This is absurd

You want to go MMFF in this but Australia women suck at breast and fly and couldn't run the optimal lineup like the US and China. They will have the same problem tomorrow in the women’s medley relay.
