  1. This series has been absolutely wild, it's a genuine shame that Pakistan haven't won at least one of the last three meetings (and yes, I'm including the T20 World Cup Final in that,) so I kinda hope they take the last one, but these have been so much damned fun.

    Paul Ellering - I knew he did a whole Superstar Billy Graham thing before he tore his knee up one too many times and switched to managing, but I didn't comprehend how bad, how excremental, how unwatchable it was until watching through this year. My God. Dude shaved his head and picked up a WSJ and immediately became about a trillion times cooler. 

    How lame does a person need to be so that picking up the Wall Street Journal is an improvement? Ye Gods.

    Jim Mora really deserves Coach Of The Year consideration for what he's done in his first year,

    "Is he still going?" I ask myself as I google this, and it turns out that it's the son. Well, shit.

    This isn't my bag, but listening to 5 Live, it's funny to have the two styles both having a World Cup at the same time, even if one is men and the other is women. 

    Rugby League is having just about every world cup it possibly can right now; the Men have started already, with the group stages coming to an end this weekend. The Women start Tuesday, I think; there's Wheelchair and Physical Disability comps running, too.

    No surprises in any of the results of the Men's competition so far, although Wales almost stole a draw from the Cook Islands.

    I know it is childish but I can be interested in the Patriots with a Bailey Zappe at QB.   Not Mac Jones and fuck Brian Hoyer but Zappe sure 

     

    I think we can all get behind someone with a name that ridiculous. I can, certainly.

  6. That reads like someone is splitting hairs over what "Gross Motor Instability" is, and whether anyone with an ounce of sense could/should have applied it to Tua in Week Three.

    This sent me down a Youtube hole and now I'm watching Spectrum dressed as Roman soldiers and playing sex jazz on the Japanese equivalent of The Hit Parade

     

    Normally I'm in agreement with disgraced former US Senator Al Franken when he said that "Jazz is the music of idiots" but I can make an exception for this, that dance is spectacular.

    I'm disgusted that none of you are even mentioning Luigi Primo's AEW debut.

    All this nonsense with Punk has been completely corrosive to my interest in AEW, but a gif came across my twitter feed of Bakery Yagi 2k22 getting booted in the face and I'm back on board.

  9. Well, as someone who railed against four day tests, that we might get another result in three is gonna make me look stupid.

    On the other hand, this test has lost two days, and four days scheduled would not give us a result.

    At any rate, this is madness and it's great.

    EDIT: England started the day 36 runs ahead, ended their innings within fifteen minutes 40 ahead.

  10. South Africa outsmarting themselves at the toss by walking straight into a good seam attack in perfect conditions for seamers to attack helped England.

    England resume this morning 40 behind, 111-3. The most shocking part of this is that Ron Weasley's big brother Zac is still batting. Are we about to hear the end of "it's been x innings since he last got a fifty?"

  11. It's a T20 franchise league with extra twiddly bits and twenty fewer balls but those extra twiddly bits aren't enough to ruin it. Not sure they add too much to the game, but they don't ruin it; and T20 cricket is pretty fun to begin with.

    I know the NFL has adjusted their discipline policy, but has anything changed enough that a lawsuit would have any different outcome than the Brady one that was basically "yeah, the NFL's whole case is bullshit, there's no clear evidence balls were even deflated much less that you had anything to do with it, but your collective bargaining agreement says that it's all up to the commissioner, so fuck off"

    There's one difference in that the NFL's case is not bullshit this time around.

    NFL Discipline is a complete mess. The ruling accepts pretty much the entire facts of the case as presented by the league and all but laughs out Watson's defence. However, the suspension is pegged to as similar cases as they could find and also notes "the NFL’s post-hoc definitions of the prohibited conduct at issue." The NFL likes to make rules up after a massive outrage instead of trying to get them sorted in advance; and I would have thought that maybe they would have sorted this shit out once their pants were pulled down by the whole Ray Rice thing, but clearly not.
