Most of what I know about gymnastics comes from my wife, who is a sportswriter covering Olympic sports....and my completely uneducated guess is right now, USA Gymnastics wouldn’t want to mess with anything that gives them sorely needed good publicity. They’ve lost most of their sponsors and any goodwill as an…

I wish she’d done that at an And1 gymnastics meet so they could’ve stopped the performance and had the crowd rush the mat with everybody going “OHHHHAAHHHH!!” and the on-floor MC yelling “IT’S OVER! IT’S OVER!! SIT DOWN RUSSELL WESTBROOK!!” and the whole thing dissolving into delirious chaos

All I know is that almost every sport’s attempts to “[GOAT]-proof” their sport is in response to an African-American outlier/GOAT player. Wilt, Tiger, Simone, etc.

And I still can’t follow it. She hacked the Matrix; that’s what I’m going with.

Matt IS Drew. Drew IS Matt. Have you ever seen them in the same room together?

The goddamn FedEx Field poet laureate.

As a Giants fan: The Redskins and the Giants have played each other about 600 times in my lifetime and they’ve never once played an interesting or exciting game.

Even if the 99 lives cheat code worked for WASH QB’s, they would still have to sign someone off the scrap heap in December.

Cool but his security is close to him and not punching him. I mean, he’s around other humans. Why aren’t they punching him???

Never any sympathy with that guy. Fucking Elway.
