De Grasse is an upstart who Bolt seems to have taken under his wing. De Grasse has basically come out of nowhere. His first running race ever was in May 2012 and he ran a sub-11 100 in borrowed spikes, basketball shorts, and a standing start.

Ain’t got nothing on Mark Tewksbury.

Instead of looking at this through the “black people can’t swim” lens, how about you try the “African Americans haven’t traditionally had access to swimming clubs, coaching and situations that allow them to dedicate the time required to become Olympic swimmers”. Elite swimming clubs tend to be in affluent communities…

As someone mentioned upthread, it was supposed to be Steve Armitage but he wasn’t able to do it due to heart problems.

And, unfortunately, he also had Lochte leading Phelps. His call early in the race had Lochte going out fast early (when it was really Phelps). Friedge bought into that narrative and that’s how we ended up with this.

The “YNPA” hand movements were especially embarrassing.

Chesterfield explanation couched in vague language. Winner not identified sofa.

We are embarrassed to admit we don’t have a firm grasp on the details of how Communist money began to infiltrate American media institutions following the 2008 economic collapse, although we have Googled the Chinese Communist Party.

Silly bear. If he’d been able to read the instructions, he would have known to go out back.

In the Australian Open, the balls roll back into the bunker counterclockwise.

Blue Jays opening day, April 7, 1977. Remember coming home from school and finding my mom watching it on TV. Doug Ault became a household name.

.... take the path of least resistance on his way out of Oklahoma City.

20 year Prodigy is still okay though, right? Because if I can’t be blasting Breathe from the mini-speakers in my cart, golf isn’t really worth playing anymore.

The Toronto hockey twitter I’ve seen today is too busy laughing at Montreal and Edmonton to care about this. Plus, the goodwill from drafting Auston Matthews is still not spent.

I’m pretty sure that, at the very least, it would end up like this (with the legal open carry-er facedown on the ground at gunpoint):
