  1. Nakashima’s volley to win the 3rd set was as impressive as it was funny seeing The Italian Mole (Musetti) turn to look at his team due to his not have a prayer at making contact with the ball. Just awesome.

    I did nazi that coming! Is he going to see the field? That's an insane jump in the matter of 14 months. Is Tyler Adams finally going to retire from the national team? Also, there's no one that Pochettino isn't going to call in a South American midfielder playing for Tottenham. Johnny could be out new permanent #6. PS- Fabrizio Romano is a douche for spelling his name "Jhonny".
  3. She just parted ways with her coach who The Tennis Podcast people would comment about when they saw him being a domineering asshole. (Seemed like an abusive relationship, but they wouldn’t go that far. At least emotionally abusive.) Anyway, maybe she’s fucked up in the head or maybe she’s injured. She always seems like she’s walking on eggshells except for the small window when she is on court and bashing the shit out of her opponent. She can do what she wants for now while she figures out her new existence. That guy was with her for several years.
  4. Korda has some kind of right elbow issue… and he was knocked out in straight sets. He had a trainer check him in the middle of the first set and he appeared to be at 3/4 speed. Then he was up 3-0 to start the second set (I thought), but he lost 6-2, so obviously when I glanced at the TV, I read it wrong. I pull for the guy, but he is mind-numbingly boring to watch… and frequently injured.
  5. Are you referring to: 1) Gomer Gloryholes? or 2) Hay Bale Husbandry?
  6. That should read: ”BRIMFUL of Asha” 😅

    He has been much better with Fulham than with the national team. Hopefully a change in management erases that gap in performances.
  8. Just heard this and it sounded poppier than the YouTube version: I listened to it at normal speed, and then I listened to it at 1.25x speed. I think that the perfect playback would be about 1.15x to 1.2x, but it just really takes it up a notch to speed it up. A little “Room Full of Asha” like, but not exactly. Give it a listen speeded/sped up.
  9. *”drunk”… the past participle acting as a modifier is what is called for here. Perhaps you have had one too many, but it is okay to use the word “drunk”. Frequently people feel that “drunk” only means “wasted”, but it’s just the past participle. (Drink/ drank/ drunk) (present/ past/ past participle) You just shortened “the beer that has been drunk.” present perfect form 👍 🍻
  10. Thanks for the PSA. I don’t always finish my one beer whenever I happen to have one. I am probably okay, but others may not be. I do drink alcohol, but almost always with food. My last drink was in NYC about 6 weeks ago. I will have at least some in Michigan. 🤘
  11. The Tennis Podcast has commented over the last few weeks (and today) that Raducanu chose not to try to qualify for DC, nor The Canadian Open. They think that she really needs matches and although they are big Raducanu fans (it’s a British podcast), there is a question about just how much she cares about tennis. Raducanu is good, but she doesn’t need to fight for results to be able to pay for a coach and physio and… she’s financially set for a while, maybe forever.
  12. Just saw this and thought that it was pretty cool.
  13. The Tennis Podcast 🎾 was talking about Danielle Collins for a bit and she apparently suffered heat stroke at the Olympics and then her immune system has been rather weak since. They said that she’s just been focused on trying to have enough energy to practice a bit and then play in this tournament and looked absolutely exhausted at her press conference immediately after leaving the court. When her press conference was over, she still sat there for a bit before feeling up to actually standing up and heading to the locker room. She’s still playing doubles with Caroline Garcia, but it sounds doubtful that she will have enough energy for them to go very far. I hadn’t heard about this, but I was kind of in full Olympics mode this year after not caring for the last couple of decades or more.
  14. I was going to say, that guy whispering in Ben Franklin’s ear looks like he’s looking to give Ben head after the meeting.
  15. I am not a fan of Athletic, the beers don’t have the proper body. This is likely done to reduce carbs (and costs), but it tastes like a N.A. beer mixed with carbonated water to me. But you are right about Guinness 0. I had forgotten what the other N.A. beer was that I liked and that was it. (Definitely a different flavor profile from the Beck’s.)
  16. I didn’t know that people still took GREYSHIRTS*. I thought that that was to get around the 25 man signing cap that no longer exists. *why are we spelling gray like we are in the UK 🇬🇧? Shouldn’t that be “grayshirts”?
  17. Becks makes a non-alcoholic beer that tastes just like the original and had the same body too, so it doesn’t taste like you are drinking a hoppy seltzer… (which also exists) Beck’s, Bitburger, St. Pauli Girl, and Löwenbräu all have the same flavor profile, so if you like one of these bitter German lagers, you’ll like the Beck’s NA. Some of the guys in our high school friend/fantasy football group are starting to realize that they have a serious problem and I plan to slap a couple of 6-packs in the house’s fridge for our draft. I get dehydration headaches pretty easily the day after moderate beer drinking, so I don’t drink much, but for those who have trouble kicking the habit, Beck’s is a nice substitute. Plus… you can drink and drive with it. 🙌
  18. I believe that Svitolina is also wearing the same costume. I wonder if the clothing sponsors present 2-4 different costume options and then ask: ”Which one do you want?” or ”Here’s your costume. If you don’t like it, don’t comment about it in any interviews.”

    Don’t know if the managing team will call in 30+ players, but there is no reason not to. I fucking hated when Berhalter would call in 23-25, and then when someone got hurt, he wouldn’t replace them. God he fucking sucked. Pochettino, if he ever signs, is so much stronger than Berhalter and won’t be afraid of competition for being the leader of the locker room. In fact, he supposedly doesn’t even enter the locker room. Berhalter was such a fucking worthless hack. 🤬
  20. Dani C fucked around and found out. She absolutely gave away that final game with loose shots. Just piss poor. Nothing like she’s been playing all year.
  21. $300 on a $6K guitar is 5% of the retail price. Apparently a basic 911 goes for $145K these days, so that tuneup would run you: $7,250
  22. In on Page 3! Let’s score at least 30 this week!
