There is a famous Anderson Silva who fights MMA in the UFC. This is also a guy named Anderson Silva. They are not the same person. An Anderson Silva got his ass kicked. That Anderson Silva is not the famous one.

Yep! But it’s not quite as harsh as it seems on the surface.

Also from the Article:

Bolt always runs the finale seriously, almost all contenders save energy at the semifinals. Especially when they have to run the finale within a few hours.

Nope.

Nope. Still fucking hate them.

If the US dictated the Olympics, they would be in Chicago right now

This is a weird, bad opinion.

I spent about 5 minutes piecing together what you were trying to say with that math. So basically, Ledecky beat her closest opponent by about 5 feet less than the gold medal shot put throw? Either way, I approve of this pointless math.

According to the announcer, “One of the craziest double plays you can ever see in a minor league baseball game!” Raising the question: were it a major league game, or a Little League game, or an amateur wood bat league game, or anything other than a minor league game, would it not have been as crazy?

The Americans hold a 47-3-6 record against Canada, and have not lost to them since March 2001 in the Algarve Cup.

I just heard an announcer saying something like “She didn’t come from a horse family. Couldn’t afford top horses. She bought her first top horse using her grandmother’s inheritance.”

Yes, that is exactly what I wrote.

No, I prefer over-wrought competitiors running down the piste at each other, screaming after every point, and ripping off their masks to complain to the ref about right-of-way every time there’s a double light.

What the fuck are you doin Phil

If by “we” you mean the coaches and management. Every teammate he’s had since joining the Yankees (except probably Jeter but he’s a douche) has said they love him

Leptospirosis is an incredible rare disease that barely occurs in Britain. Why would the doctors get the diagnosis straight away? Real medicine isn’t like House. Gaby was empirically been put on broad-spectrum antibiotics with supportive therapy to address the unknown infection (hence the ICU admission) until they…

As some guy who just stumbled into watching fencing this past weekend and will probably never think about it again after making this comment (and replying to any relevant comments), foil and sabre are the worst sports I’ve ever seen. How the fuck do you have one guy miss (or hit off-target) and the other guy hit, and…

Yes. As someone else who also fenced for many years, I think she’s pretty off base here. Saber is the truly nuts one. The action is so fast, especially at the elite level, that a huge amount of the variance in outcomes is pure judgment calls by the judge, not what actually happens on the strip.

Ah, you’d prefer the weapons where the referee semi-arbitrarily determines who started first? The ones that should require video review after every single damn touch? A weapon where you can lose an arm and a head but it doesn’t matter because it’s not target area?
