  1. Reyna had 4 (or fewer) minutes to make an end of the game impact before Dortmund went down to 10 men. After seeing Reyna play physical defense and give effort when he was 17, it is just strange to see how rarely he sees the field when healthy. I would love to see what he does in training to never get to play. I would also be interested in having a psychologist get him to explain what his thought process is for training, why he believes the manager doesn’t play him, and what he thinks he could change to get on the field. He was such a shining player as a 17 year-old and now he just seems like a 37 year-old guy who’s contract makes him undroppable.
  2. They like a coach who is not afraid to lay hands on the neck of another person.
  3. Now I am thinking that it could have been an MCL tear. I am still not a doctor, but to say “We are definitely looking at 3 months+.”, I no longer think… UPDATE: I stopped my response to use the Google.
  4. I was just coming here to post this. What a rough day for the tournament. https://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/dallas/424/results
  5. Still true. Thought that I may have seen it posted in a Gen X group (1) on Facebook (2). Two things that age me.
  6. My guess is that it was a meniscus tear, because from the start they said: • It wasn’t an ACL tear. • He would be out 1-3 months. • He would likely have surgery. Any _CL tear starts with a timeline much longer than 1-3 months and any sprain wouldn’t require surgery. I am not a doctor, but I have two knees and follow sports.
  7. Can’t recall whether I got this here or elsewhere…

    The "Trapitos" that were translated as "rag pickers" and "street urchins" if you allow Chrome to translate the article and common in popular spots at night. I have never been to that town/neighborhood, but in other parts of Buenos Aires, "working class" people will stake out a street and wave a rag / white hand towel to get you to park in an open space "on their block". They are not working for a parking lot company or waving people onto people's lawns like you see around Fair Park when going to the Texas/OU game. These guys are simply staking out free street parking and basically charging you to "watch your car". It is small time, but the exact same thing as the mob charging protection so that you store doesn't get burned down. (a.k.a. "extortion") In this case, I think that they asked for US$10 and got US$8. (UPDATE: actually, slightly less than that) In retrospect, I am thinking that they wish that they had paid the extra US$1.80. I only was in a car when going out on the weekends when I was with my Argie girlfriend 15 years ago... but even then it was really annoying. She just had a subcompact Chevrolet 4 door at the time, so at least it didn't scream "This girl's loaded!" Other times it was walking, taxis, and buses. People sometimes ask: "Do you miss Argentina?" Answer: Some things I do, but trapitos are definitely not something I miss.
  9. The USA has 17 women in the WTA's Top 100. That's a crazy number! https://www.wtatennis.com/rankings/singles
  10. The only thing to worry about is getting a dependable car with decent gas mileage. Tap that 19 year-old pussy while you can!
  11. When I clicked on 995 and saw that 2026 OT “Maximus Wright” had committed, I thought that we had picked up another German kid 🇩🇪 🏈!! 🥳

    Grammys

    Is that an app? Or software for your computer?
  13. Can’t find this video on IG, so will have to provide the Facebook link. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19xpZ4hQ2Y/ The goals: And then a Korean American girl deep throating a Korean sausage… because IG…
  14. Venue? YES Location? NEIN! 🤬
  15. Hanging out for the first set of the night session, because I was in the souvenir area when they kicked out the day session people (spent $120, so they got my money). The intro to the night session is traditional ATP night session stuff. DALLAS COWBOYS CHEERLEADERS bumping & grinding to AC⚡️DC’s “Thunderstruck”. Then the players enter the stadium with the cheerleaders on each side: IMG_6492.mov And finally ready to go.
  16. I mixed him up with “horn4life”, who may be part of the Surly Rainbow Crew 🌈, so this was all quite confusing. But I should be 255 years old… and at that age, one is easily confused.
  17. I should probably say “$31”, because there were $16 worth of taxes & fees. Like my $4 VIP parking actually cost $10.41 when I purchased the parking pass in advance. That said, my ticket came with Sideline Club Lounge access and I managed to avoid the stadium purge of day session people because I was shopping for souvenirs, so may mosey in there by showing my wrist band before driving back to civilization. Andy Murray’s brother & partner just beat some American team in doubles. Fancy Club Lounge with buffet is on the gound floor through the glass windows. Sideline Club (middle class club) is one floor up and don’t appear to have any food in their catering line. UPDATE: The middle class club wrist bands have changed from light blue (day session) to tennis ball yellow 🎾 for the night session. Napoleon is perturbed. 🤌🤌🤌
  18. Ben Shelton and his dad.
  19. I went with a “sparkling water” (agua con gas) and ended up getting it free. 🤷‍♂️
  20. Yes. Bought a ticket today for the day session. Side section with a bit of Lounge access, but not the VIP lounge access. Ticket was $15 + $16 taxes and fees. ($31) The mother/daughter people to my left said that these seats are $2,000 if you buy the entire tournament. Big Foe was practicing earlier. Ben Shelton is practicing at 4:30pm-5pm Fritz & Opelka practice at 5pm-6pm. (My guess is that if you double up your practice with another player, you can book an hour.)
