Uh they went to replay and nothing happened because it turned out that the umps couldn’t review it because Holt didn’t throw to first, not because what Austin did was legit. He slid in late and high and could have easily hurt Holt.

Well, I think it’s pretty funny to millenials who are tired of being constantly shat on by hot-takers for things like buying avocado toast instead of houses

Yeah this is what I’ve been thinking about. I don’t know what the proper reaction is beyond retweeting/liking/etc. the posts I see, because I want the poster to see that I acknowledge what happened to them. But I don’t want to post about it because then it feels like I’m trying too damn hard or something.

He *definitely* fumbled - he got it back a half second later, but he clearly loses the ball as he’s approaching the goal line.. I think it’s the correct application of a crappy rule - the “fair” thing to do in this situation, I think, woulda been to give the Jets the ball at the point of the fumble (the 1-inch line?)…

You had me until the part where I was supposed to be sad at never seeing Wondo play soccer ever again

Counterpoint: Coming to the net is actually good and fun and it severely messed with everyone I played against, which made it even more good and fun.

Well I don’t think there’s any way Serena beats a professional male tennis player, but other than that, agreed. One imagines the average American tennis fan is vaguely aware of Sam Querrey’s existence, but good luck picking Jack Sock out of a lineup (John Isner being his own special case on account of being…

The real question here is whether Federer will ever decide to play the French Open again

A non-trivial portion of my fellow ‘Pool fans seemed to be rooting for a tough draw, not least because we seem to play a lot better against better teams.

Have you heard of pass interference?

When Landa stuck with the lead group I figured it had to be that he was hoping to slip past Aru and take his bonus time — and/or he figured it’s pretty impossible to help pull someone up a climb like that given how much everyone is zigging and zagging? But more experienced cycling watchers can probably correct me on…

Needs more Ross Barkley

The AL thanks you for your suggestion

In addition to the general competition (the winner of which gets the famed Yellow Jersey), there are a number of other “trophies” awarded — such as the Green Jersey for the top sprinter. You get to wear/win the green jersey if you lead the race in points, which are awarded at the end of every stage regardless of the…

Nope

Young seems to have a pretty decent sense of humor about himself (I seem to recall him once announcing resigning with the Wizards by making a joke about how he never passes on anything and wasn’t going to start now, along with a picture of him signing his new contract), so I doubt it was anything other than ribbing…

... roster size?

I saw elsewhere that a lot of the $14m was in performance bonuses due to how well the movie performed (if the number is even real to begin with) — so hopefully Gal’s # will bump up as well given WW’s commercial success?

Insider trading???

The level of rampant cheating at lower levels of tennis - where each player makes their own line calls - would surprise many people as well...
