    I do not want that at all. I want to see 5 men within 30 seconds of each other going into that final time trial on the last stage in Nice.

    Crazy prediction time: Vingo does not make the podium but Matteo Jorgenson does.

    Sepp Kuss is out of the tour. Hasn't recovered from Covid, Visma announced.

    Everything is a reaction to enshittification. "The current guys are shitty! Maybe the alternative won't be so shitty!" Meanwhile, those who say things are shitty are living better than 99% of the planet ever has. Having said that, Fareed Zakaria pointed out something interesting a few days ago. In 2008, the United States and the euro-zone economies were roughly the same size. Today, the American economy is nearly twice the size of the euro zone. Average European income is now 27% lower than in the United States, and average wages are 37% lower. When the British left the European Union, they fantasized about forging a close relationship with the United States, almost becoming the 51st state. Were that to happen, Britons would find themselves in the 51st poorest state in the union, with a per capita gross domestic product below that of Mississippi.

    Good point. You don't need DTs if the other team never stops you from scoring.

    Yes. Sorry .. that's it. Unchained. Brain fart.

    That doesn't necessarily say that Baker struck out with them.

    I'm going Jok, Luka, Wemby. But no bad answers there. Despite him being dead for 25 years, I'm going Wilt, Jokic, Luka, Giannis, Wemby, Embiid. That's how dominant/great Wilt was.

    None of y'all will watch it for ... reasons ... but PLEASE watch just the first episode of "Tour de France Overdrive Season 2." Holy shit. My female friend who doesn't care about cycling (or even sports, really), watched this with me and got hooked. It's a badass documentary series and the action shots, taken with cameras mounted to the bicycles as they race down mountains at 65 mph, and the crashes are insane. Really gripping stuff about a sport that most Americans know very little about.

    Putin is done. It's just a matter of when. Amazing to think that about 3-4 years ago some were thinking he is the richest man in the world. He could have just abdicated and lived the rest of his life on a South Pacific island that he owns.

    If we have to, we'll go and get better, more experienced DTs in the portal. Sark is keeping his powder dry.

    You can tromple on the Constitution. You can support a man who cheated on his wife with a porn star, paid that porn star hush money in order to win an election then lied to the American people about having done so ---- but killing a good boy is a bridge too far.

    Brenen Thompson's mom is a Sark hater. "Plus everybody knows Sark is a hypocrite!"

    I don't have any experience with that particular guayabera, but I believe guayaberas are meant to fit loose and boxy, right? They are designed that way because they are worn in hot, humid climates where you want ventilation. I only have one guayabera, but I wear it open, with a colored t-shirt underneath that matches the color of the embroidery. Looks spiffy.

    Marion Rousse, Julian Allaphillipe's girlfriend.

    After his injuries I just don't think Jonas can win again. Re: the new TDF special on Netflix, one thing that bothered me is that Adam Yates got no face time at all and was barely even mentioned. They kept talking about who was going to end up on the podium and I get that they had to choose their horses before the Tour began but surely he deserved a bit more than that. Phillipsen came off as an ass and I thought Ben O'Connor did, too. Allanphillippe, Carlos Rodriguez, Jai Hindley and Thibault Pinot came off looking the best. I liked Pogecar and Vingegaard, too, though Vingo is a bit robotic. Alaphillippe's girlfriend is a smokin' hottie. All of those guys have attractive, fit girlfriends, though. Pidcock's woman is definitely easy on the eyes.
