The quality of bronze medals is enshittening: https://www.foxnews.com/sports/us-skateboarder-nyjah-huston-reveals-bronze-medals-deterioration-not-high-quality-you-would-think

Dude is a hardcore Rams fan with 27 thousand YouTube followers. Says he's hearing Deebo Samuel comparisons.

Sid will never write a song as good as King of the Road.

Texas is likely to have the best season among those four teams.

Not to defend Elon, but I don't think that's exactly what's going on. I think it's some sort of weird X bug that happens when a tweet gets a whole bunch of likes. I've noticed it a few times myself when I tweet something that gets more than about 1500-2000 likes. I don't know why, though.

U.S. needs to just get about four of its strongest sprinters, get them to agree to not run in any of the individual sprints, pay them a princely sum for four years, sequester them, and have them train just for this event. With just a little bit of preparation we'd win every time.

So ... Wilt, Lebron, MJ? I could live with that.

To everything turn, turn turn There is a season turn turn turn And a time to every purpose under Heaven

"Compared to a McDonald's burger I would say that the smasher is a little bit higher quality." Now THERE'S a ringing endorsement!

I can beat anybody on the team in darts.

Stockholm syndrome?

Phil Liggett retires.

Wait a minute ... the world record holder in the pole vault is named Mondo DuPlantis? That's just too good.

Absolutely worth it. I pay for the premium that allows me to be towed up to 200 miles because God knows where I'll be when I can't start my car. A few years ago I got a rental pickup truck to go on a photo safari. I was in West Texas at Mitre Peak when I locked my keys in the truck. I couldn't believe it. I was tempted to bash the window out with a rock. I called Triple A and it took about two hours (it was a Sunday afternoon) but they sent somebody from Fort Stockton who had a slim jim and got me into the truck in no time. I don't know what the replacement cost of a passenger window in a brand new Dodge Ram truck would have been, but I was glad to see that dude.

Babylon Berlin.

Well, hell. I hope the NCAA doesn't come for my phone.

DeMarvion Overshown turning heads. From the Dallas Morning News: OXNARD, Calif. — Mike McCarthy casually tossed out the names of a few players who have gotten off to strong starts in this camp while chatting with reporters after his press conference. Some of those names will come as no surprise to fans. Others probably will. Let’s start with defense. The Cowboys’ head coach said veteran corner Jourdan Lewis “is having a hell of a camp’' and quickly followed by mentioning corner DaRon Bland. McCarthy loves the way the entire safety group is playing. But the first player he mentioned on that side of the ball is linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, who is coming off a torn ACL that ended his rookie season before it began. “Overshown jumps off the tape at you,’’ McCarthy said. “No question there.’’ It’s not a question for Micah Parsons either. “Overshown has been unbelievable,’’ Parsons said. “I think he’s more confident and stronger than he was before he tore his ACL. He’s coming downhill, he’s being aggressive, he understand his reads. “You can just see the confidence in him growing. He’s getting more reps with the ones. They’re ready to get him out there. “I think he’s going to have an unbelievable year.’’

My guess is that's all performative. If Trump loses again or if he dies all of that will go with him and nothing will become of any of it.

The Berkoff Blastoff is hilarious to watch. He's in Lane 4:

Leon Marchand lives and trains in Austin and his coach, Bob Bowman, is the head coach of the Texas Longhorns men's swim team and trained Michael Phelps, so I think the gold medal by proxy rule comes into play in a few of these events.

Pool is partly filled with white Bordeaux wine. Athletes slowly get intoxicated as they swim.

In fairness, 1) the post is titled "tell me about OU." 2) folks rarely ask for others to post anything around here. Most everything posted is a function of a poster saying to himself "I should add this to this thread." If it sucks, he is usually informed. But nobody has ever asked for any of my sorry takes. I offer them freely, out of the goodness of my heart.
