football, hockey, open-wheel racing, cycling, golf, and tennis. not necessarily in that order, but exactly in that order. except DMB is at the front. “people are allowed to like things.”

my decade old trail shoes gave up the ghost last week while causing a half dozen ailments i didn’t know existed in circling the Three Sisters. i left them with my friend in Bend to burn while drinking a Yeti Stout and playing I’m Gonna Be. he upped me with this and GnR’s Knockin on Heaven’s Door.

a stadium built for one dumb baseball game in wyoming would actually be worth it if trump and media got to Wind River, saw all the feller buncher piles, and acknowledged the forest service does actually “sweep” the floors.

that’s right, much like Kentucky basketball learned/knew in 2010, it wasn’t having a new head coach but simply Billy Gillipsie, errr, Napier no longer being the head coach.

this brewery is selling 16oz beers in Willi Becher glasses, and i am 99.9% positive they aren’t even 14oz glasses. i have useless skills, and eyeballing the size of a beer glass with remarkable accuracy is one of them. the litre is only twice the amount so i am having one of those - a legit litre.

honestly had 6 concussions for Jaxson Dart this year with one minor ankle sprain. did not see that coming. maybe it turns out to be minor and he’s released back to the wild soon so that he can go knock his head around some more.

further support for my theory that the reason they haven’t moved him to IR is to not enable the appearance of desperation for a temporary starting quarterback currently employed by another team.

i know it’s hard to resist doing so, but i make the same plea every year - avoid drawing any significant conclusions or opinions about any team through the first two weeks of the NFL season. weeks 3 & 4 serve to make you a fool should you not abide.

Common sense regulations are the way to rein in data centers. Banning them risks funneling their development to places lacking any environmental protections.

I cannot believe people are really trying to gaslight me on this. It got a lot of media attention that a FAMOUS PROFESSOR AT THE BEST UNIVERSITY IN THE COUNTRY turned out to have literally fabricated his entire bio and career? And you're gonna tell me it's the media's fault for reporting on this?

a republican PAC is spending money in a WA state senate race where the ultra left senate majority leader is facing a challenge from a candidate half a degree further to the left. they sent this stock image mailer to residents of the 43rd, which has left some gay people in the 43rd confused.

the favoured team entering the tournament was the best team. they allowed what, a single goal? very boring to watch, but undoubtedly excellent. i appreciate the Argentines for making a convert of me - the Swiss yellow reversal sealed it. i fear Paredes won’t be back in 2030. going to miss him.

going to stick with continuing to watch the 5-minute yellow card reversal on a loop (completely justified), and having the biggest continual 1-man laughter at this zoo style pub. i’m sure the discourse this morning will remain healthy. i’ll fade at some point to Tour de France and Wimbledon.

only things i know about Jurgen Klopp is he’s loved in Germany more than David Hasselhoff, and the Liverpool players and fans figuratively carried him off the field after leading them in an emotional “you’ll never walk alone” after his final match. and yet, i still suspect big FIFA will prevail.

this is why soccer is so dumb. whatever nonsense Algeria and Austria are pulling gives it all away. and that’s before i get into idiot wingers and outside middies who rise through the ranks despite their ineptitude at scoring goals. and also, fifa is making the case for the NHl to adopt 3-2-1.

one of the reasons i’ve always rated soccer players at the very bottom of the sports intelligence pyramid is their failure to understand rudimentary physics. the “finishers” or “goal scorers” certainly get it, but they are rarities. there’s a reason forwards and middies are wingers and not strikers.
