I am sorry but SI will forever be the shorthand name of the greatest sports magazine ever published, which Time Inc sold to Meredith in 2018 and then was owned by a series of increasingly disreputable publishers and ceased print publication in 2024.

There are so many delightful angles to the Eric Schmitt Hawks-Hawkeye fuck up, but one of my favorites is that these clowns who can't stop talking about the WNBA basically assume no one watches women's sports.

I am not going to lie. I absolutely LOVE passing drivers multiple times, especially if they punish pass me like I am slowing their important journey. Driving aggressively in most urban and suburban zones has zero upside and they fully deserve to be reminded of that.

If Sophia passes Peter four times as they both commute to work, how many times has Peter passed Sophia?

I am willing to bet my lunch money that a congressional aide used "super intelligence" to accuse Jack Smith of going to a Hawks game.

This is a fascinating example of how many drivers have little insight into what riders do. I do this move all the time— taking the lane if that's my safest position and then getting out of drivers' way if there's a safe alternative. I'm actually being considerate but it's perceived as erratic.

Meanwhile, we're abolishing fuel efficiency standards and spending a trillion dollars on a war that has made fuel scarce and everything more expensive. Oh and we have a new helipad at the White House!

I really urge people to read Project 2025 and how the Heritage Foundation writes about Title IX elsewhere. These folks believe that Title IX is discriminating against MEN by taking scholarships and opportunities away from guys and pressuring women to do activities outside their ladylike tendencies.

This and the Epstein Files basically explain 92% of the shitty things that have happened.

Tens of millions of American motorists believe there's nothing wrong with texting at a stoplight. Or driving 73 in a 60mph zone. Or changing lanes without signaling. Or rolling right on red without coming to a full stop. But somebody has to do something about cyclists who don't follow the rules.

These RW morons don't know or don't care that the primary substantive issue of this ruling is to cripple Title IX protections against sexual assault and harassment...on the same day new Cornell allegations are being made public. The endless blabbering about protecting women is BS.

Top 5 reasons Brandon McNulty won a world championship 1. Pogacar wasn't there. 2. Incredible US teamwork. 3. Horrible French strategy. 4. Del Toro was crazy impatient. 5. Evenpoel didn't have great legs.

Imagine how different today's race would have been if Pogacar had been there.

If you're curious, the race had 58 official finishers.

Honestly, a major moment for American bike racing. McNulty has the race of his life with amazing support from Jorgenson and Simmons. Have to back to Lemond to have a World's moment of this caliber.

I am honestly humbled when I watch races like this, to see the kind of grit on display where these athletes seem destroyed and then keep going and get back in the mix. Most of us are so easily broken.

Men have covered the first 50km in about the same amount of time as the ladies did yesterday, which explains why dozens went out the back yesterday as soon as the climbing started. Shit was spicy yesterday.

Here's an idea for a fun over-under bet: How many riders do you think will actually finish the race today? Place your bets below.

Peter Flax @pflax1.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Trust me, I hope I'm wrong about this, but I have trouble imagining that Wout and MVDP can survive 12 trips up that climb if Del Toro, Seixas, and Evenepoel do their jobs.
