I commented on this, too (but I’m in the grays) and felt the same. And amazingly, Trump actually GOT a Stunner from STSA but, because we know how good Trump is at selling things, it looked pretty weak.

I would have marked out if she’d used Stone Cold Steve Austin’s intro instead.

This was a great thing to watch. That said, as a T&F geek I think that the hurdles (including the crazy steeplechase), the pole vault, and the triple jump, are the strangest events in the sport.

Mostly off topic, but in a past life I used to draw a lot. A typical thing was drawing comic book superhero-type figures. One thing I discovered was that the key to making someone look really strong wasn’t the big biceps or the washboard abs, or the defined obliques, or the huge pecs. The key— at least to me— was…

Yeah, I have been saying this too. While it’s not 100% uniform, virtually all “sheriff star” images have the little balls/circles at the tip of each star point. Indeed, there is more variation in whether it is a 5-point or 6-point star than if the star points end with the little circles. And if someone with any sense…

Fair enough— I hardly know how much of that stuff works. But it’s nice to type in “you” in my search bar and not have the history show something else before “youtube” since “p” comes before “t”, especially when my nephew (or girlfriend!) is looking over my shoulder!

Go incognito.

Oklahoma says hello.

No one knows what next season’s Primera División will look like, or if it will even exist amid a push for a new “Superliga.”

Sort of, but there are few alternatives for resolving a tie in soccer. Remember, by the time they go to PKs they’ve already player two additional 15 minute periods— that’s 120 minutes (plus stoppage time!) of playing. It’s really hard to imagine asking players to continue for yet more overtime periods after that.…

Well, I think that “domestic dispute” references that they were in some sort of romantic(ish?) relationship. This is as opposed to, say, one guy murdering another because they disagreed about a business decision, or one guy murdering another over a gambling debt or some drunken sports argument.

No kidding. Might be easier if you’re a wealthy NFL guy, but yeah.

Is this a joke?

Way to not actually quote the whole rule:

It was a hoot to go from OKC (where I currently live) to do some work in LA (where I used to live) and listen to ALL the sports people there make it sound like a done deal that Durant was going to sign with the Lakers. I have no idea what Durant will do, but the confidence/arrogance that the LA sports radio talent…

Wait. The Spurs would have beaten these Cavs? Does he know that the Spurs didn’t make it to the Western Conference Finals because of some other team? Fuck that guy.

I hate you for posting this. A hundred stars.

I hate going in for any car maintenance because I ALWAYS feel like I’m getting ripped off, but I do still go to a quick oil change place for that sort of thing (always turning down the ridiculous up-sells). One thing I’ll say— and this might be site-specific— is that at the place I go to, they double and triple check…

Yes. People who live in “red states” who are Democratic. Unless you imagine that everyone in Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma, etc., are all 100% Republican/conservative? I hope you don’t think that.

My two thoughts about this series are (a) Regression to the mean— GSW has been lights out, esp. in the play-offs. Klay beat the Thunder with a record-setting number of 3's, and Curry has (I think?) made more 3's in a Finals (or play-offs? I forget) than anyone. At some point they have to come back to earth. It seems…
