Yeah, I wish there were more coverage of the classics here in the US. Then you could see Sagan in his natural environment, and also not make the mistake of putting, e.g. Kwiatkowski as a potential stage race GC leader.

Yeah. I think, as fans, once you got over the shock of seeing actual suffering again by the favorites, it was still the same sport. I’m more amazed that sponsors didn’t bail entirely post-Festina.

I mean, considering how you cover Froome here, you’re just going to gloss over Pantani being the first Google image search for “doped to the gills cyclist”?

983 Days of Vapid White Girl would like a word.

It’s instructive that Trump’s snake story is massively stupider than the parable it’s based off of.

Sometimes I think about what it would have been like if there were a Deadspin/Deadspin comments section during the “serial dynasties” era of late ‘80s-’90s basketball. From 1987-1998 every team that won it all repeated at least one year. Lakers, Pistons, Bulls, Rockets, Bulls. And the Bulls threepeated twice.

Also make sure every official take here is pro-Cavs for consistency.

Ha, just saw a middle age dude with hats for all the East Bay teams, current and past, on the back shelf of his Mercury Sable, blowing huge vape clouds with his windows only halfway rolled down in the 95 degree heat yesterday. He was living his best life.

Good point. Backback nukes for everyone!

Hi Elizabeth.

That is a spectacularly dumb way of looking at PEDs in sports.

This is a trash take, Patrick.

I love this, from Google:

Former 2003 Jetta TDI owner here. That car was nails. Zero unscheduled maintenance from me, and also apparently from the guy I sold it to (as of last year).

Was going to post this, so thank you. If you don’t add UV resistant clear coat, you’re going to be doing the same polishing routine every 12 months. The sun is merciless.

It’s cool.

Here’s a funny thing: I was agreeing with your point about spit. Happy commenting, bud.

Good idea to make this personal.

Yeah, this article is super helpful to me, a person who leaves many glasses of undrunk water around my house for weeks at a time. You know, normal stuff.

In order of wetness, there’s the coast (sopping), then there’s the Willamette Valley where 70% of Oregonians live (pretty dang wet), and then there’s eastern Oregon where almost nobody lives (high desert with winter snow). It’s beautiful in eastern Oregon, but man is it desolate.
