How the fuck are all of these clowns Nats fans when the team only showed up in 2004? 

Hahahahahahaha the past. There’s a whole generation under them waiting to act on their racism, too. 

In NJ, local control is like a lost art. The shit is completely bonkers. (Jersey native.)

it’s probably how this ended up on the radar for more scrutiny. 

ITF doesn’t hire the refs, the tours do. 

Well MJ was Team President of the Wizards before he went back to play for them. Dunno if they had a GM in name only or not, but he was the decision maker besides the owner. Isn’t Magic GM of the Lakers? He’s richer than Elton for sure, even if we exclude MJ.

It’s good UNT beat them so badly so no can suggest this play defined the final outcome.

Don’t worry, Blue Jays management will find a way to outdo this when they trade Vlad Jr. for a bag of tennis balls from Cleveland in a few years. 

won’t happen, but at least there’s precedent with the Colorado baseball team naming themselves after a team that had that name in the city before. 

Ramos made the wrong call, and the umpires union or whatever can see themselves as victims but perhaps they ought to have better professional standards of consistency before we just hawkeye them out of existence.

yeah low level tennis is fascinating even more than golf though similar.

Loose-leaf tea. Though I do talk about that from time to time, especially among people who know the depths of my tea nerdom.

I play text simulation games - Out of the Park baseball, etc. - and city simulators (Cities Skylines) and I love talking about them, but it’s rare you run into people who are that deep into them…

I mean, it’s not murder. Also wondering what sort of yahoo he was involved with that he even managed to get caught doing this without having to only pay the money back without jail time? Sounds like he’s getting terrible advice across the board. 

they generate way too much garbage, too.

that would be bonkers but epic. 

If Alabama State had Auburn’s endowment from its inception, things might be different. Not to mention the whole reason HBCUs exist in the first place...

It was a grand slam final. He had to know that wasn’t the time to show how big an authority he was. She shouldn’t have kept chirping, but he could have diffused the situation.

Chair umpire has one job — diffuse the situation — I think cultural differences surely played a part, an American or Canadian or something might have had more nuanced understanding of what was at play. But his job wasn’t to be the big bad wolf, his job there was to diffuse the situation. He could have basically asked…

Agreed on both counts. But she’s always been like this and she’s not the first athlete to be like this, so I don’t as much cut her slack as I don’t think we’re affording her anything we wouldn’t to a male athlete of similar elite level. The difference is, we’ve never seen anything like this happen to a man in a Grand…
