  1. Not sure. Ask Northwestern football players.
  2. We’ve come a long way since Blazing Saddles. Even a lot of movies from like 15-20 years ago would have trouble getting made. Stuff that made most of us laugh. I have young kids so I don’t make it to many adult movies, but it seems like comedies are less prominent. All that said, there will always be a market for more old school comedy. Chappelle sold out the Spurs arena in San Antonio last week.
  3. Man you must’ve struggled when Kyrgios was playing him last year. That guy is unbelievable. He came off as such a whiny douche on the Break Point series. Begging his box to cheer harder for him etc.
  4. Like I said, vaccine drama. You seem to have been caught up in it. I view athletes similar to musicians or other artists. I don’t need to agree with them about anything outside of their field to still appreciate their greatness. And to behave otherwise is quite weird imo.
  5. I have to agree. I was always huge Federer fan. Wimbledon final loss to Rafa was one of the biggest sports disappointments I can remember. Novak has passed them both. Especially considering he probably left a slam or two and a handful of masters titles on the table due to the vaccine drama.
  6. Let’s see if he can do it and catch Djokovic. I still think Novak has one or two more slam wins in him.
  7. Used to as well, but have too much respect for his athletic ability and accomplishments.
  8. And there’s the break, Djokovic smashes racket. Crowd boos.
  9. Alcaraz turning up the power in this 5th set. More winners but also more errors than Djokovic
  10. Missed it too. Here’s some retired Federer content. I’ll always be a big fan.
  11. I’m not a lawyer but it looks like people are getting worked up about a misdemeanor. If an individual knowingly possesses a controlled substance (without having obtained the substance through a legal prescription) then the individual is guilty of a misdemeanor and faces up to 180 days in jail and/or up to $2,500 in fines. Section 48-904.01(d)(1). If the individual was in possession of phencyclidine (PCP) then the individual is guilty of a felony and faces up to three years in prison and/or up to $12,500 in fines. Section 48-904.01(d)(2). Notably, the District of Columbia included a provision in Section 48-904.01 that provides leniency for first-time offenders possessing drugs. If an individual is guilty of knowingly possessing a controlled substance and has no prior drug-related convictions, then the court has the discretion to defer the proceedings and place the individual on probation for up to one year. The court decides the conditions of the probation. If the individual violates the terms of the probation, then the court will proceed with prosecution as normal. If the individual successfully fulfills the terms of the probation, then the court will dismiss the charges against the individual. In fact, the court may even end the probation early, dismissing charges against the individual. Section 48-904.01(e)(1). At this point, the individual may apply to have the records of the arrest, proceedings, and other information expunged (wiped clean) from official, public records. Section 48-904.01(e)(2). It is important to emphasize that an individual can only have possession charges deferred once. It is also possible for the prosecutor to charge an individual who violated the distribution-related drug offense with a possession charge. https://criminallawdc.com/dc-drug-lawyer/code-laws/ This is a lot of words to just say, both sides.
  12. The one thing that bugs me about Sinner is he’s an aggressive fist pumper. Like every point he wins. That annoyed the shit out of me when I played.
  13. So after everything, it’s pretty much chalk into the semis. Sinner clearly had talent and game on grass to make semis. That said, he doesn’t have experience to maintain level the whole match and seize moments like needed against someone like Djoker. I’m a fan of Medvedev’s style of play and ability but Alcaraz is just on another level athletically. It’s going to be Djoker vs Alcaraz to see if it’s time to pass the torch. If Alcaraz wins he’s on the fast track to challenge for GOAT status in 10-15 years barring injury or Tiger Woods like off court issues. Women I don’t watch as closely but feels like we’re destined for a much hyped Ukraine vs Belarus final.
  14. Some huge fucking hitting in this match. In person I bet it is unbelievable. That was what amazed when watching in person the first time. They look like they’re hitting it hard on tv, but in person you see they’re absolutely ripping it every shot. So impressive.
