I second this.  I really found this article extremely interesting and appreciated the writing style as well.

I dont remember when but I've stopped saying this year will be our year.  I suppose if someone was to torture me making me watch 55 minutes of Lions games before they blow it would be a better way to break me than waterboarding when they reveal despite leading all 16 games they showed me the Lions managed to blow it…

Should the WNBA players earn the same as the NBA players? In a free market economy it’s all about the revenue you generate. Let’s look at it a different way. Should FedEx and UPS drivers be paid the same? If one company is nearly bankrupt and the other is profitable? You can’t make money appear out of thin air to say…

Throughout this entire process this is the first credible article that suggests the women’s team generates as much or more revenue than the men.  Seems like the women deserve higher pay…

Wow. You need to drink 2x as much water as beer at a minimum and you were barely above 1:1. Alcohol dehydrates you. You needed to hydrate for the heat and actively dehydrated yourself.

At least he’s not in Toronto any more?  Really?  He’s going to the Mets.  Must End The Season the METS who may very well have traded for him in a buy low sell high scenario where they basically cornered the market on really good pitchers available with team control beyond 2019.

Here’s another possibility. They bought low on Stroman with the intent to get more for him by flipping him.  That would actually make sense which is why I’m certain that’s not what they’re doing.

You are a liar.  My team is the Lions.

Interestingly it seems like Jumbo Visma is the team most capable of controlling the leaders this year.

Gave it some thought.  Lead car needs to have a portable version of that timing equipment to set up on the road in the future as needed.

The list of participants who haven’t bowed out.  I can with confidence name the NBA team two of those players play on.  One because the Pistons are “my team” and the other because he was a big name free agent this off-season.

His best chance is certainly going to be to attack from the flag, but Ineos is strong enough that he won’t get away like Landis did.  The issue is the amount of time gap to the yellow.  Despite this being the best tour I’ve ever seen with more action than I’ve ever seen I don’t see how he gets away.  Uran and Quintana…

The decent was easier towards the bottom. I think it was one that would have been difficult to make up more time than catching the group that was ~1:06 behind Bernal.  I feel like he would have lost more than 60s on the next climb.  The cracks that weren’t there during week 2 showed yesterday and today.  He just…

My thoughts on where they took the time aside.

I think he would have lost even more time on the finishing climb.  Gained time on the descent yes, but lost more on the final climb.  It’s clear he doesn’t have the same kind of legs the pre-tour favorites do in the big mountains, but I’ll be damned if I won’t be cheering…

My thinking is somewhere on the decent before the madness was a banner that said “20k or 30k” to go or whatever.  Due to the fact that they hadn’t called it before the summit they should have raced to a pre-determined banned and known they were racing to a finish line.  What could Julian have done if he had known the…

There have been more exciting moments in the tour this year than the past 25 combined.  It has been crazy every single day.  I think Pinot would be a heavy favorite if he hadn't lost time on stage 10

Any word yet on motive?

“There’s also a very neat front nose-lift system”

Where’s the rear nose? 

How do you grow a sport with attendance when live attendance is shrinking almost everywhere?  Think of NASCAR at Bristol where they used to pack 170k around the track and now draw 25k.  Some things are worse than others but what's the draw to go in person? Hard to invest in infrastructure without a stadium scam and…

I ran out of popcorn a week ago.
