  1. CrossFit games are in Fort Worth. First event is a 4 mile run followed by a swim (half mile I believe). It’s hot AF. Serbian dude drowned during the swim. Safety team members on paddle boards essentially watched it and didn’t do shit. This was all on tv. I know CrossFit isn’t going away but they should pay dearly for this. Monetarily and in the court of public opinion.
  2. just messing with you, although it caused a stink on social media. shocker. apparently Raven is non-binary. BBC commentator said "glad to see her back." commentator was corrected by co-host who said Raven is non-binary now. social media blew up. i don't know anymore. Raven also has adopted the Incredible Hulk as an alter-ego. this mask is all part of the bit. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/olympics/article-13723689/Olympics-commentator-CORRECTED-misgendering-USA-Raven-Saunders-Paris.html
  3. The big relay news so far:
  4. all those dudes are looking at Rooks like, "who the fuck are you?"
  5. track events have straight up delivered. still have Sydney v. Femke in the 400M hurdles and men's 200M final tomorrow, both of which should be epic. and the relays are gonna be killer. plus a bunch of golds still to be handed out in middle distance and hurdles.
  6. mmmmm, Lieke Klaver. she got lucky there.
  7. Tebogo looked solid in the 200M semifinal. Lyles was so so. both are through to the final.
  8. The winner of the steeplechase is a real cutie. Winfred Yavi from Bahrain.
  9. What sucks is that she got off to a great start. There was some controversy this morning in the men’s 5k heats. Frenchy caused a major pileup. Brit was knocked down and got in Frenchy’s face after the race. Brit was waived through to the final.
  10. thank god Poland couldn't serve for shit. this is tense.
  11. Fox News chyron right now: Now: Shapiro Campaigns For Harris After VP Snub 😂
  12. i guaran-damn-tee you that Walz can sit down with you and talk for 30 minutes about old school AWA wrestling. he was definitely a Verne Gagne fan. hated that damn Nick Bockwinkel.
  13. yep. went out way too fast.
  14. hell yes!!!!!!!! no medal for Jakob. two medals for Americans.
  15. Norwegian is the favorite. but it's not a sure thing.
  16. Had to look up the genesis of the “Tampon Tim” nickname. Like the Olympic boxer, just more manufactured outrage about transgender stuff.
  17. this is the one i've been waiting for the most. holy shit, this is going to be 🔥🔥🔥
  18. It’s gonna be funny watching Trump try to make fun of Walz and his blue collar ways, while not appreciating that he is insulting 90% of his base. Guess what Don, your rural base: goes to state fairs, likes to hunt, cares about high school football, didn’t go to Ivy League or elite schools. So not only does Walz strike a chord with blue collar voters, Trump is going to simultaneously alienate them by attacking Walz for growing up a working man, just like them.
  19. Saw this on X.
  20. i feel like one of them is close to punching the ref. he's an old pro. but he's a Ticket guy and an NBA announcer. so he doesn't call it like a typical soccer announcer.
  21. Egypt down to 10 men. Egyptian dude who was accused of handball got a yellow for dissent when it went to a VAR review. then he got a yellow for a bad tackle in extra time. i guess ball don't lie.
  22. he also did PBP for FC Dallas before Apple TV took over (and he still does MLS games for Apple TV when his Mavs duties allow). i like Followill. but he does have a Gus Johnson vibe for those who like more subdued and understated (i.e., British) soccer commentators.
