Rogue One?

1-0. You score by being CLOSER to the pin. No one was closer here, so no score. If it were second shot, the second stone wouldn’t be closer than the opponent’s stone, so 1-0.

It could have something to do with the fact that all those brown people come from countries that get to vote on this sort of thing ...

The other interesting thing is that it probably worked out perfectly in the long: Zagitova skated a harder routine, Medvedeva skated a beautiful one, and they ended up tied for it. The strengths cancelled out on two excellent skaters, and really, that’s probably good result.

The thing is that Zagitova’s scores weren’t that amazeballs (Osmond’s components were also better, for example). They were strong, and they should have been because she’s a good skater, but it’s that she had such a big lead (1.3 points on the short, then another 3 points on the long technical) that Medvedeva basically…

I mean, they kind of did. Medvedeva was 2.5 points down on Zagitova on technical rating, and they finished tied overall for the free skate. So she made it all back on artistry and components, which is pretty impressive. It’s just a really hard gap to make up with component scores unless your opponent is really not…

That’s ... not a Canadian Goose

This is clearly, objectively false on a number of levels, but thankfully Canada - U.S.A almost always delivers the goods

This is a fake. The actual jersey had horizontal stripes not chevrons and looked much better.

As much as Galchenyuk was born in America and reps the U.S. internationally, he is still very much Russian. His dad moved the family back to Europe when Alex was 4, and they were there until he was 14 or 15 or something. Alex essentially grew up in Moscow (also Italy for a bit). He grew up speaking Russian at home…

I think you mean Mark Duckerberg.

I think you’re severely underrating the athletic ability of elite players in other sports. Remember Jarryd Hayne, a rugby (*league) player, was able to basically walk on to the 49ers based solely on his athleticism.

And then he sucked because he had basically never played football before. But he was athletic enough to…

1 - If you want to talk world population, then sure, of course, obviously. If you’re talking as a percentage of elite athletes in the world, then that’s a fool’s errand with both no way to prove any side and no way to determine athleticism across sports (what happens when you put a football player on ice skates, for…

No, I understand the numerical difference, but this notion that the 1701st best athlete in football in the USA is somehow significantly more athletic than the top athlete in rugby in NZ (when realistically, with a few exceptions you’re talking about a similar general level of athleticism for just about all pro- or…

Why on Earth would you think that taking a football player at 20 or 21 and trying to teach him rugby would make him a better rugby player than some Englishman or New Zealander who has been playing the game since they were 8?

If failed football players were truly “world class” athletes, they wouldn’t be failed football…

They meant in 2006. The Sharks fans booed the Canadian anthem in the second round, so Oilers fans responded by singing both anthems , though particularly the Canadian one, very loudly. This continued into the subsequent rounds, eventually culminating in this against the Ducks, which apparently greatly amused Ilya…

But why would you put aside what the legal definition of consent is? Whether or not Rose is guilty is dependent on “what the law says constitutes consent or lack thereof,” and if you don’t understand what that might be, perhaps that’s the question you should be asking of in the comment section?

But in the books he does kill his brother, and for much less of a reason than that ...
