It was insane. My parents were watching too, and they were NOT horse people, but even my dad asked, “Is this really happening?” It’s likely that horseracing has never seen such a victory since the 1800’s when the announcer cried, “Eclipse first, the rest nowhere” and awarded Eclipse first, second and third place. http:…

Smooth as fucking silk with a stride that brings a tear.

Yes. It looked like they mic’ed the outrider, and Victor had no idea. I was saying to my wife that they really need a delay plus someone who speaks Spanish to tell them what they needed to cut. And I loved every minute of it.

I've been watching horse racing since I was about 12 just dreaming about seeing this in my lifetime. What a special moment.

Watching that horse and rider make that run made the hair on my neck stand on end, I screamed until hoarse and cried like a bitch! Where in the Hell can you get that much excitement for free, HBO??? Bob Costas is a masterful dork, that was a great show. I didn’t think I’d see another Triple Crown, what an exciting…

“Holy Shit” is what I thought, too. Awesome. I saw Affirmed win, and I saw Seattle Slew win, and I saw Secretariat win, which was INSANE, like some alternate reality. The camera angles were such that you couldn’t see a single other horse in the race when he crossed the finish line. And this horse, as you can see from…

She has decent rivals depending on the surface, especially clay, which is her weakest (as is true for most Americans). Also, Azarenka is a threat to her on all surfaces, and people like Stosur, Halep, and Kerber can beat her on her bad days. But if Serena is so good she makes herself look peerless—good on her. You…

Made a point to watch this and I have to admit I had a pit in my stomach. I’m don’t get excited about much but this was pretty cool.

Today just might be the greatest (densest?) day in sports history: Djokovic beats Murray and Serena wins in the French Open, messi and barca claim the treble, opening day of the women’s World Cup (with a viewership on the order of a billion people), triple crown!!, game 2 of the stanley cup...

Bob Baffert is going to make EVERYONE kiss his ring after this.

As someone from Buffalo, this is the first time I feel like I've won anything.

Probably the greatest ever in women’s tennis, maybe the best ever in women’s sports period. A few more majors and she will absolutely cement that spot for sure. And to think, about 15 years ago, when Venus was killing it herself, I thought her dad was nuts for saying the younger sister Serena was even better. I didn't…

“Only two women have won more major titles than Williams”

Did anyone see their documentary? I randomly caught it a year ago and it was great. I've always respected them, but they're so like able too.

A blonde Marion Cotillard?

I don’t know why she gets so much hate, she’s dominate and fun to watch, she deserves to dance a little bit I think.

Alice Marble won 18 Grand Slam Championships (singles, doubles and mixed doubles) while suffering from TB. Upon retirement she was an associate editor for DC Comics, were she introduced the Wonder Woman character. Her husband was killed in action during WW2, a few days later she suffered a miscarriage and attempted…

God don’t remind me of that stabbing of Seles. I still get chills thinking about it and will never forget watching in on TV and just going WTF IS GOING ON HERE?!?!

And Court’s titles weren’t all in the open era. I fully agree with you.

I think you can make a solid case that Serena’s the best ever even if she doesn’t surpass Graf or Court. Graf arguably wouldn’t have reached 22 if her most serious rival hadn’t been stabbed by a complete psychopath. And eleven of Court’s 24 titles are Australian Open wins. It’s very admittedly impressive, but Court…
