  1. At least 7 match points were in one game on Iga’s serve that usually were a result of facing a 2nd serve at deuce and then Iga would get a first serve in from the ad court. Those 7 weren’t from self-destruction on Sabalenka’s part, but more accurately on Iga’s part.
  2. Because he's not a CB. LSU is taking him because they have no pure CBs in the class, all safeties. LSU said please we will let you play CB, when Texas said you're a safety fit long term. The kid is betting on himself. This is not a wise move. Notre Dame suspended its men’s swimming program Thursday for at least one year after an external review found members of the team violated NCAA rules by wagering among themselves on results of their competitions and failed to “treat one another with dignity and respect.” “In order to ensure that this behavior ends and to rebuild a culture of dignity, respect, and exemplary conduct, we have decided to suspend the men’s swimming program for at least one academic year,” athletic director Pete Bevacqua said in a statement. Notre Dame did not reveal details of the review done by a law firm. According to a person with knowledge of the situation, members of the team had set up a makeshift, internal sportsbook where athletes could wager on the times posted by themselves or teammates at meets. Athletes were not found to have bet on opposing teams or on any other Notre Dame athletic events, the person said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because Notre Dame was not making the contents of the report public. The person said more than 60% of the returning team, which includes 25 swimmers, took part in betting on the performances of members of the team. The review also revealed some members of the team had bet among themselves on events such as the Super Bowl and March Madness basketball tournament games. https://apnews.com/article/notre-dame-swim-team-suspended-gambling-7e1842a5dd23b74e25e872e29820bba0
  3. They mean that you are distinctly regarded?
  4. Didn’t notice that the “a” didn’t take when I spelled “Leatherman”. Thanks for the subtle correction.
  5. Could we go so far as to call him our “Letherman” or our “utility infielder”?
  6. And this is why I don’t think that the Cowboys will resign Dak. He’s not worth what they would have to pay him.
  7. When someone starts to talk and I hear: “Yeah, no. Absolutely…” I kind of check out from the conversation and start analyzing whether I should have been able to decipher that this person was an idiot before s/he started talking, or whether s/he hid it well enough that I would have to hear her/him speak before I could tell. That said, many Argentines would start answering a question with: ”Sí, pero no, pero sí… no, es verdad…” And the mocking would commence almost immediately.
  8. I should be asleep.
  9. HEB needs one of these machines.
  10. Zack Steffen, real American hero! Colorado beats Club America 0-0 (9-8 in PKs).

    This hasn’t been deleted yet. This is sooooo regarded!
  12. You are correct. Remember that J.P. had another Match Point on L.F.’s serve at 6-5, but spaced that L.F. won the game and then lost comfortably in the Tie Breaker. Also, a Dallas raised woman who lives in Alabama is in Cincy for the tournament today with her husband and she was in the stadium for so many stars that I was thinking: “Maybe going to Cincy for the 2nd weekend is a better idea than going to the US Open.” Sabalenka, Swiatek, Andreeva, Rublev, Sinner, L. Fernandez, Pegula, Shelton, & Zverez… All today! Holy fuck!
  13. Jessica P. was up a set and 4-0 in the second set and ended winning… 7-5 , 6-7 , 7-5 Seem like played 17 more games than she had to. She played two matches yesterday and then played a match worth of extra games today. Kind of wearing herself down.
  14. 4 out of 8 are Bela/Russians.. Go Pegula!

    Haji Wright is our standard! 👏👏 🥳
  16. Did it occur to you that you may not have the authorization to change thread titles?
  17. I will take Lucho Acosta on FC Cincinnati.
  18. Didn’t watch it, but Yulia Putintseva beat Coco Gauff in 3 sets. I’m shocked that a smart player was able to break down Coco’s forehand (guess) in 3 sets. Iga almost choked away yesterday’s match. Those two are mental egg shells with comical forehands. It is entertaining to watch them fall apart.
  19. If only there was a way for people to gather via video conference call to have a meeting today. Someday that technology could exist. (What year was Star Trek set in?)
  20. Assistant coach Lowe & Germany 🇩🇪 managed a 3rd place run at home when Argentina couldn’t use a 3rd substitution on Messi due to a GK injury and Germany beat ARG in a shootout because the German keeper had a tendencies cheat sheet that he looked at before each kick. Germany finished 2nd in 2002 and then Germany’s next two World Cups after Klinsmann saw them finishing 3rd in South Africa 2010 and 1st in Brazil 2014 under Lowe, so Klinsmann barely leading Der Mannschaft to 3rd at home was 🤷‍♂️. 1: Bruce Part 1 (1.0) 5: Sampson 6: Gregg B 7: Bruce Part 2 (2.0)
  21. …not so fast.
  22. Is the only one that you could argue was better than Bruce? …or Pochettino?
