    Cristian played great today outside of that 2nd set mental lapse. Keep going sweetheart 

    “Count Jacqula” as she was referred to somewhere. 

    She gives off some Catwoman vibes.

    I hope that Navarro keeps kicking ass and passes Madison Keys for the 4th Olympic spot from the USA.

    Going into this week the USA ranking is:

    1) Coco Gauff (#3)

    2) Jessica Pegula (#5)

    3) Madison Keys (#18)

    4) Emma Navarro (#20)

    5) Danielle Collins (#22… up from #50-something)

    By winning two today, Collins has passed Navarro, but I think that they both will pass Keys, because Keys chokes almost as much as Stephens.

    I really it to be Gauff, Pegula, Collins, & Navarro.

    The team is set after the French Open, because the Olympic courts will be those of Roland Garros, so grass court points added at the last minute could make for a misleading ranking for clay court success.

    If we're being honest and talking long-term health, football is not in anyone's best interest.

    I have a couple things from high school football that still bother me from time to time and will only get worse when I get older. Was it worth it? Absolutely...I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Most things worthwhile have some sort of cost.

    Bench splinters still lodged in your ass?

    Well then. I guess he doesn't understand the meaning of student athlete. Kid gonna find himself out of basketball completely if he continues on that path. 

    I was really hoping he would contribute next season, but it is what it is. We got Tre Johnson and that South Carolina player of the year coming in. It sucks we won't have Cunningham anymore. I guess Weaver cna make a jump, and I guess Pryor? We're getting low on contributors. We know Mitchell and Hunter aren't returning. Damn. (About Mitchell, not Hunter). 

    Good too see the end of Cunningham’s, Mitchell’s, and Hunter’s time in the program. 

    (Praise Jesus! He is Risen!)

    Brock provided grit, but he was just slurping up minutes that younger guys could have benefited from. 

    Put him on the staff as a grad assistant and let him bully players in practice to teach them the finer details of the dark arts, but his time is up.

    Dillon Mitchell has not improved, but maybe he isn’t able to. 

    Don’t know what is wrong with Hunter, but his move to Austin was not good for his basketball. 🏀 

  4. New England Revolution got their anus ripped open by Club America of Mexico City last night, 0-4.

    i wrote “0-4” instead of “4-0”, because the anal intrusion occurred up in Foxboro in front of their own fans.

    Occasional US international, Alejandro Zendejas, scored the the 2nd goal.

    Columbus Crew 1-1 with some Mexicans, but Canadian-American Aidan Morris picked up two yellows two minutes apart and will have to miss the second leg with the Mexicans from UANL will demonstrate to the Crew why they are known as ANAL U.

  5. Amanda’s strokes, backhand AND forehand are just ridiculous when she’s hitting it cleanly. 

    Her black top makes it difficult to ogle her knockers, so you focus more on her tennis and she can absolutely crush the ball low and cross court or redirect backhands down the line after sending Pegula far over to return a backhand. 

    Amanda has hit lots of balls more than 10 feet away from Pegula. She’s also hit within a foot of the line several times. 
     

    EDIT:

    Just realized that I’m behind “LIVE”.

    I paused and was away for a bit.

    Dayana Yastremska is up 5-0 just 18 minutes in. If Linette is allowed to leave the court after the first serve, then the entire WTA is a joke. 

    There should be a rule that  the set has to last at least 40 minutes in order to leave the court between sets. 

    Linette started testing out some things late in the first set and I she had some break points on Yastremska’s serve in that 6th game. 

    My guess is that she applied what she learned from the first set and managed to break Yastremska in the second set. 

    I still don’t get score lines like:

    EXAMPLE 1

    A: 6 1 6

    B: 1 6 1

    …but I better understand scores like:

    EXAMPLE 2

    A: 6 2 6

    B: 1 6 7

    …there is a point where you conserve energy and try some things for the next set. You make your opponent run as much as possible, but as soon as you have to run, you end the point one way or another. 

    Example 2 even happens some on the Men’s side. Nadal is about the only player that I think didn’t do this.

  8. Dayana Yastremska smashing the crap out of the ball. 

    WTA website says that Yastremska is 5’7”, but she plays like a 5’10”+ power slugger. 

    Linette is on her way to the locker room in short order.

    The hobby lobby version would have "I play rhythm, Jesus plays lead" painted on it.

    Jesus’ first album cover after becoming the lead…

    Yeah, I think all budding guitarists should go righty regardless of their handedness.  (Is that a word?)

    I have yet to see a left-handed player complain that they can’t find a LEFT-HANDED PIANO.

    Just don’t tell the left-handed player that there are left-handed guitars and everything will be so much easier in life.

    New Guitar!  Martin 000-X2E.  I love this thing.  It's my first brand new guitar and I couldn't be happier with how it plays.  It's MIM and there are some rough edges, but the sound is incredible.  The top is spruce and the back and sides are some manufactured material making it very durable.  For the price, I don't think you can beat it.  I wanted a G-45, but Strait had just sold it as I was walking in.  Saved me a few hundred bucks.

    Made In Myanmar 🇲🇲 guitars are the best.

    4th has played 41 matches, 5th only 39.

    I stand corrected. 

    Minimal sleep in the last 36 hours and I missed the “41 matches played”.

    👏👏

    5th does indeed have the better shot at Wrexham.

    Taco Charlton was playing for Birmingham in a UFL game yesterday -- talk about a 1st Rd DL bust for the Cowboys.  😋


    I said that “other than that slug”, the Cowboys have drafted pretty well the last 5 years  

    So the someone goes back 7 years to find someone that has nothing to do with my statement

    It’s the 5th place team that has a better shot to pass them than 4th due to a game in hand.  Wrexham need to tcb these next 4, with the first two on the road. 
     

    one cool thing about how these leagues are set up is most teams have something to play for- either championship/auto promotion, or to get/stay in the promotion tourney and seeding therein, or to stay above relegation.  Makes for a lot of motivated teams up and down the table. 
     

    post script- is there any financial benefit from the league for winning it, or just pride and championship merch sales?

    Wrexham has 73 pts & 24 GD

    4th place has 70 pts & 14 GD
    5th place has 67 pts & 15 GD, but game in hand.

    So 4th has already gotten the extra win to get to 70 pts. 5th place still needs to get the win just to be 3 points back and a still a nearly insurmountable GD.

    Wrexham FC is almost like having the NY Yankees in your league.

    You mean the two DLs from Michigan?

    No.

    Try to keep up.

    I’m talking about the crappy DL, Mazi Smith, on the Dallas Cowboys. 

    He kind of sucks. Other than that worthless slug (from Michigan), the Cowboys have drafted pretty well.
