Tebow Broncos spurned on a whole ass SNL skit

I think my Mom still believes in Tebow

She LOVED him as a broncos fan

[rustic ore]

I still like Tebow, great dude

Just a garbage QB outside of college

[rustic mountain]

I think Tebow is funny as hell and his throw he had in preseason was the funniest thing I've ever seen

[dim kettle]

Like, it's amazing how defenses didn't know how to stop Tebow for a year when he ran.

[rustic ore]

Big RIP to any moron who spent money on his Jags jersey when everyone knew he was getting cut as soon as he signed with them as a TE

[dim kettle]

He's gonna run the ball into the endzone, Jets. You gonna do something about it- And... you don't

[rustic mountain]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROYg-Bp_y8w

Brother look at this masterpiece

[dim kettle]

I remember a kid going to an NFL draft with a Pats Tebow jersey on.

[rustic ore]

I will stand by this, Jets didn't have any excuse not to start him when Sanchez was shitting the bed all season

[rustic mountain]

Hell yeah that's the energy we need in pats nation

Need it to go with my Reggie Wayne and Chad Ochocino jersey

[dim kettle]

Rex Ryan being stubborn.

[rustic mountain]

Put it behind my Stephen Jackson and James Harrison

[dim kettle]

But that has been the Jets since that 2010 run. We can point to how bad the likes Sanchez, Geno, or Darnold were as QBs there. But the Jets literally gave them no help. Happens when you draft nothing but defensive players in the first round.

[rustic ore]

I'm convinced the only reason he didn't do it was because if he made the change and they did win he'd look like a moron for not starting him sooner and be fired

[rustic mountain]

There's nothing I want more than the Jets to fail again this year

https://tenor.com/view/south-park-craig-so-happy-craig-south-park-butters-south-park-gif-27032319

[dim kettle]

Rex Ryan liked Sanchez too much. The only reason Geno started week 1 the next year was because Sanchez got hurt in pre-season.

And honestly, Jet fans during that time period valued Sanchez so much in NY that has only be rivaled by Danny Derps last year.

[rustic ore]

Not just hurt in preseason, but if memory serves correctly it was in game 4 of the preseason

The game where there was literally no excuse to play starters whatsoever

Was stunned they didn't fire him that season for that

[dim kettle]

I was too, I mean, that was 3 years in row they missed the playoffs at that point.

[rustic ore]

Was grossly irresponsible to play your starting QB as long as he did that game, let alone at all

But the Johnsons are one of the worst owners in the league so

[dim kettle]

Adam Gase the offensive guru

Never forget.

Just the perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger effect in action. Everyone but ownership knew they were fucked the moment they hired Gase.

[rustic ore]

NFL ownership tier list by yours truly

Probably should put Broncos in garbage but I did really like the Payton trade for them

[dim kettle]

Broncos ownership is still very new. Not enough drama yet to have an opinion on them.

[honest umbra]

arent browns too high here?

[rustic ore]

I was lazy and didn't want to make more tiers

[honest umbra]

commanders are lucky

[dim kettle]

Which makes David Tepper more impressive of how bad he's been. Since he's only been owner since 2018-2019

[honest umbra]

they was def in the browns tier recently

[rustic ore]

Without question

Snyder was a walking cancer

[dim kettle]

Even Mike Brown. Look, everything is good now, but between his cheap ass and the hell that was the 90s. Eh.

[rustic ore]

The smartest thing he (or really I might just give full credit to his daughter) did was get an actual GM to run the show

I have 0 clue how involved he even is anymore

[dim kettle]

You know, I always hear bad thing about the Glazer family. The only things I can really point to are the likes of hiring Greg Schiano which hiring these college coaches is always a gamble and firing Lovie Smith in a power play maneuver.

Lovie takes a 2-14 team to a 4-win improvement in 2015 with a rookie QB, gets fired. Dirk Koetter regresses a 9-7 team to 4-12 and get's to keep his job for another year. Just saying

[proud coyote]

bengals should be at least below average

really penny pinching group

[rustic ore]

If it was still Mike Brown running the show I probably would, but I'm pretty sure it's been his daughter the last couple years

And even with MB running the show they were always able to get into the playoffs multiple times despite never winning a single game under Lewis, think that should count for some measure of praise

🤏

Only this much though

[dim kettle]

He also kept Marvin Lewis for far too long.

[proud coyote]

i saw it as more in spite of him rather than something he helped with

I always hear about players shitting on the team

[dim kettle]

Bengals got real lucky with Marvin. You go back to the 2003 highlights it was an amazing coaching job to just get 8 wins with the talent on the team.

[rustic ore]

There was a real dark period for Cincy inbetween when they had Wyche and Marvin

Or at least when they had Wyche when he was good

[dim kettle]

Reminder Mike Brown chose Dave Shula over Bill Cowher.

Dave Shula looked like someone who belonged in a National Lampoon's Vacation movie.

[proper sable]

You have an optimistic view of Jerry Jones

[rustic ore]

Man has 3 SBs, I can't take that from him

Even without being back to the conference championship in like 26 years he still was owner over a dynasty

[dim kettle]

Jerry hires puppet coaches. But there's no doubt he also has drafted well.

[proper sable]

He's so vain that he prevented Jimmy Johnson(the actual reason for their success) from entering the cowboys ring of honor for over twenty years

[dim ledge]

Jones is on the Dak juice too much

[proper sable]

Will McClay is the mastermind behind why we draft so well
Jerry desperately wanted Johnny Manziel

[dim kettle]

If we're talking about outside running the actual team. Yeah, he's awful. But that could be said about his friend Stan Kroenke. Who, you know, gave the middle finger to a city and being a rich arrogant prick who forced people on a farm land to leave that led to the person game overing himself

[proper sable]

Think so? Dallas has treated Dak pretty terribly imo. So much so that I applauded his previous extension despite people calling it an overpay. We lucked our way into drafting a top 10 QB in the 4th round and Jerry dragged his feet.

[rustic ore]

"terribly" Best O-line in the league, 2 time league leading rusher in his first 3 years, same HC/offensive play caller for most of his career

How awful

[rustic ore]

https://fxtwitter.com/gbellseattle/status/1819152601713463625?t=9UCeLFqajM0Z1KsUSg41mg

[proper sable]

Yeah, we draft well. Also, that once dominant O line was constructed during the latter part of Romo's tenure. By the time Dak came into his own as a legitimately good pocket passer, Travis Frederick retired, and Tyron Smith couldn't stay healthy if his life depended on it. And yes, zeke was a stud, but what about the nonsensical wr by committee approach Dak had to deal with until we traded for Amari(who we ended up trading away for a 5th round pick LOL).

I'm more referring to the bizarrely timed Dak related "leaks" that always seem to spread around the time he's due for an extension despite having similar if not better production than most QBs in his skill range.

And yeah he did have the same HC/OC
The same Jason Garrett who subsequently got fired from the Giants after a season and some change

Wrong Rodriguez

[robust grotto]

:/

[hasty basin]

This shouldn't be allowed in judo but I digress

Our Judoka had to be banned because he was against a Frenchie

And he retaliated

[rustic mountain]

While yes his home run count is inflated because of his juicing, I think something should be said for his ability to get contact on the ball. Now would his percentages go down if he didn't juice and wasn't driving the ball? Probably but still fairly impressive. I think the context of the era needs to be included considering just how many players were juicing

[robust grotto]

My thoughts exactly

That tweet actually inflated my view on Bonds more

Give me Bonds over Ohtani every single day

[rustic mountain]

I mean same but I also dislike Ohtani a great deal

[robust grotto]

Ohtani is cool in my books

I just like baseball for more than DINGERS WOAAAH DINGERS

[rustic mountain]

I have a few rules about baseball and one of them is fuck the Dodgers and the Yankees but also he easily coulda dispelled the shit about being on a plane to Toronto and all that shit

But didn't. I blame more than just him, but I don't like the dude and I especially dislike him more that he chose the Dodgers. Fuck LA

As far when it comes to baseball, I actually like defense more than anything lmao

Home runs are fine and cool, but I appreciate great defense a lot, nothing better imo

[robust grotto]

I know you do, we share a love for the details of baseball

Dingers and a million strikeouts zzzzzz

Good pitching, awesome defense, slap hitting, and strategy.. muah

[dim ledge]

This will live forever

[robust grotto]

Ohtani fans be like

Yellow m&m meme

He’s great though, I’m just being an ass

[celest zephyr]

They also take a bunch of luck

And tbh some bozo ass plays at time

Like a dogshit slider / curveball or some poor defense

Or a guy swinging at pitches that they have no chance at hitting

[robust grotto]

Word like.. are pitchers better than ever from a technical level? Probably?? But are hitters less patient than ever? Yeah, good chance

[celest zephyr]

I also hate when games become too analytically driven

Probably yeah

Especially with the highlight reels all over the place

Easy to get popularity and on tv shows with a bunch of strikeouts and homers

Ohtani over bonds

Bonds didn’t pitch

[robust grotto]

Ohtani won’t pitch again anyway

[desert palm]

You don’t get paid Ohtani money if he doesn’t pitch

Btw

@tardy solstice @steel nexus https://worldbaseball.com/baseball-united-announces-2025-season-plans/

[thorn hornet]

We missed out on the bronze fuck sake

Larisa you did well girl we move 🫡

[robust grotto]

He’s more likely tor get injured while pitching than batting, idk man. You’re not wrong but.. one more injury and they’ll pull him from pitching full stop. Dodgers have enough capital to fill in his slot with a good enough replacement

[desert palm]

I could see them putting him on relief if he has injury issues

[robust grotto]

That would be so sick actually

[desert palm]

However I can’t see the dodgers completely giving up on Pitching with him considering the amount of money he is getting paid

DH doesn’t get paid 700 mil

[robust grotto]

You see I’m the other way around

They paid him to be an incredible batter and to bring in revenue as the most marketable baseball player on the planet

Pitching is only extra for the dodgers. If he is compromised in any way, they won’t let him pitch again

@dim ledge a good debate to bring up to our friend

[hasty basin]

The slander has been justified

[rustic mountain]

Ohtani already made his name, I don't think he has to pitch again as is. I kinda hope he doesn't just because I'd love the Dodgers to all that money for just a hitter

But Lunik is right imp

Imo

Ohtani's name is partly why the Dodgers paid that money

I think when he gets hurt again pitching, because pitching is a matter of when anymore, they will shut it down

Canada looks flat

[celest zephyr]

It’s hard to say for me. Cheating using drones is pretty clearly unacceptable but teams seem to cheat all the time

Germany should be up at least 1-0 at this point

Canada looks completely disjointed right now

Any attacks are toothless

Looks like the Olympics aren’t immune to camera people simping

[short flame]

Anyone who cheats should be punished and it’s not because others do too that this should be allowed. I also don’t like that Canada act like victims, I don’t blame the players if they weren’t involved but I won’t feel sorry for them

[celest zephyr]

Fair enough

I mean 6 points is pretty heavy of a penalty

Anything more and it’s basically an ejection

[short flame]

That’s what I wanted

[celest zephyr]

It’s borderline to me

I’d have been cool either way

The real question is what happens to the gold from 2021

If it wasn’t for goalkeeping and good defense at times they’d for sure be down right now

I’d say it makes me doubt their achievements

Appart from the 1904 win because that was just a ridiculous tournament

[celest zephyr]

Can’t disagree with that

Canada still managed to win

But I just don’t get this thing where they just don’t get blame because they ignored there was an issue

[celest zephyr]

Nope

[short flame]

The Canada national team made a job offer with « drone experience » being a skill set

[celest zephyr]

Yeah and they tried to force people to use drones to spy on people

The team itself for sure deserves this penalty if not more

Tough to say if the players on the pitch deserve to be penalized more

[short flame]

Everyone in charge should be fired

The whole federation, the president of the Canadian fa, the coaching staff. I don’t blame the players but they took advantage from the cheating their bosses did

[celest zephyr]

Yeah I was going to say that but couldn’t find the exact words for it

For sure that’s why a 6 point deduction as purely an on the field penalty seems fair to me

She actually sounds like that?

Crazy

https://youtu.be/Ofi8qkCzDY4?si=OoBNvII7yGIMj6xD

Sounds more normal here, probably hyped up on adrenaline in the other

[unborn sandal]

Maybe lack of air too. In the original viral she seems like she was interviewed almost right after the race

In the new one it seems like she was given some time to recover her breath

But she still sounds slightly Mickey-esque tho lol, just less pronounced

Not laughing at her tho, actually I find her charming

Oda just built different inspirational

[hollow wind]

She kicked our ass today

I thought we had it in the bag

And then the last 200 meters she just demolished everyone

[celest zephyr]

i think we just ran out of gas, but congrats to her for really pushing through

i was surprised considering during the heat we were like 15 yards apart

[hollow wind]

Yeah I think our 4th leg went full throttle the whole way because she didn’t want to lose the lead but the Netherlands girl saved herself so well for that last burst

[celest zephyr]

i felt like our second leg was a lot closer than in the heat

1st leg was ok put in good time even though it was much better this time around

[hollow wind]

Our heat run was just way crisper all around

Unfortunately they won’t all be like that

I watched the 4x100 mixed swimming medley too. Thank god we won that

Was so close

That’s a really cool event

[celest zephyr]

honestly torri huske literally carried us this olympics, not many people were talking about her

If he goes who do you have as a backup striker?

There’s no way you can survive without Solanke

Don’t let him go

damn I couldn’t tell from the fucking tv angle. I thought it was Thompson

yeah we both went to TC Williams Highschool

people were gonna slander him if lost

he backed it up

They’ve been waiting on that

[sweet tree]

yeah shit was crazy lmao

[celest zephyr]

LOL man imagine all that pressure he put on himself, because if he finished silver or bronze. They would of cooked him

[honest umbra]

I was so surprised Lyles won

his speed mid race is insane

[celest zephyr]

literally a hair length

[honest umbra]

he seemed so far behind

even the photo finish doesn’t convince me lol

@sweet tree I ain’t knew yall were classmates

you shoulda been at the Olympics too bro

[celest zephyr]

@honest umbra They said its the Torso that counts

[hollow wind]

Yeah he looked behind for most of it but a lot of that is exaggerated by the tv angle

[sweet tree]

https://fixupx.com/NBCOlympics/status/1820187663153963281?t=rCevk4o4BRr9halDmddUqg&s=19

man that's so close

[hollow wind]

Insanely tight race

Without Bolt in the race, people seem to be much closer lmao

[honest umbra]

apparently
The nba players were there watching the race

that’s so funny

[hollow wind]

Yeah I saw Embiid

[honest umbra]

lyles is cold for backing it up lmao

[hollow wind]

NBA players shouldn’t have taken such offense to that lol

[sweet tree]

bolt was getting 9.58

[hollow wind]

It really ain’t that serious

[honest umbra]

yea bolt kinda spoiled us

bro was staring back

[hollow wind]

It was unfair

From 2008-2016 he just wasn’t going to lose and everyone knew it

Well Lyles better win the 200 now coz that’s kind of his trademark

[celest zephyr]

bolt was the fastest man ever, no one is at that level lol it was so easy to see how fast bolt was compared to everyone else

but def sprinters have been faster than ever

they just arn't as fast as bolt still

[rustic ore]

[celest zephyr]

chest counts

[smoky fable]

0.005 second difference

Between he and Jamaica

[hollow wind]

That’s insane

[honest umbra]

so chest day is important?

[hollow wind]

It’s gotta be up there for closest finals in Olympic history surely

[short flame]

Wait which one got third

[smoky fable]

Another American

[noble fractal]

thompson is ahead here

[honest umbra]

not like anyone’s ever claimed chest day isn’t important, it feels the best

[celest zephyr]

which is amazing because that dude on jamaica had a huge as fuck chest lol

[noble fractal]

is it bc lyles touched the line first?

[hollow wind]

I think it’s essentially a tie

Idk how you determine that lol

[honest umbra]

I mean wasn’t it thousand of a second lol

[celest zephyr]

no chest has to cross, not only head and feet

[honest umbra]

that is literally as close as it gets

[noble fractal]

ohhhhh

ic

[honest umbra]

ofc it’s gonna look super close

[sweet tree]

yeah its probably the closest race ever

[honest umbra]

he won because of the aura

[celest zephyr]

bro the way he came out during the race, i thought he was about to pull something

[honest umbra]

the guy from Italy did pull
Something

and still didn’t come in last like Seville did

[celest zephyr]

anyone feel like this olympics has been really well represented anime wise?

[honest umbra]

how do u mean?

the memes?

the Turkish shooter is my fav

[celest zephyr]

Noah with the yugioh , DBZ references, seeing one piece references here and there

[honest umbra]

oh yea that too

anime is pretty mainstream and cool to like now

[celest zephyr]

maybe cuz everyone competing now is my generation

lol

yea they grew up with us

u def wouldn’t see this in 2008 Olympics

[dense blade]

nah we was correct

[dense blade]

this about to blow up

[celest zephyr]

lol but is olympic basketball not considered international sport?

[dense blade]

He was talking about nba tho

Nba winners are NOT world champions im sorry

[celest zephyr]

nah the reason i disagreed because the nba is not all americans, i would say its like 60-40 or 70-30 between americans and europeans

[dense blade]

Are champions league winners world champions according to you?

[celest zephyr]

i mean i guess but what other competition would they say is the world championship of the NBA?

[nimble onyx]

Lyles was 100% right doesn’t matter how diverse the league is or that it’s the best itw

[dense blade]

Fiba World cup

[celest zephyr]

lol the Fiba world cup

then i guess germany is the world champion of basketball

[nimble onyx]

That or the Olympics

[dense blade]

Yes they are?

What's ur point

[proud coyote]

why

[celest zephyr]

idk most basketball fans, international or state side don't watch the FIBA world cup

[dense blade]

Nba winners are nba champions
Fiba winners are world champions
And Olympics winners are Olympics champions

It's not that hard

look Shannon Sharpe has no say in trash talk lol

i guess we gotta send out our best next time* to the FIBA world cup so we can call our self world champion 😭

[dense blade]

000.4 and a PB best he smoked no one lol he just won fair and square

[nimble onyx]

Olympic gold is good enough

[dense blade]

It doesn't matter if Americans go to their or not the point is that is what championship is

Basketball hasn't grown much beyond usa

[dense blade]

It's not even power scaling it's what it is callrd

[celest zephyr]

nah we gotta win the FIBA world cup, we are just olympic champions after that

[dense blade]

US players don't go to Fiba bcoz of injuries issues and the clubs don't let them go bcoz of busy season

[rustic ore]

I don’t get it, NBA fans hate Noah?

[nimble onyx]

Technically yes but the Olympics is also an international competition

[celest zephyr]

lol i would probably say most don't, just a little bit of banter

[rustic ore]

Ah

[dense blade]

It's the same you can say
100m world cup winners are world champions but 100m Olympic winners are Olympic champions but here Olympics winners has higher value

And nba winners has higher value than world cup winners

[short flame]

What did he say?

[celest zephyr]

@dense blade what has higher value UEFA or World cup?

[dense blade]

World cup

[rustic ore]

Easily World Cup

[short flame]

The World Cup

[dense blade]

Is that even a question

[proud coyote]

yes but you're parroting these terms with some weird significance lol, nobody is going to call Germany the world champs if they won FIBA featuring a lesser U.S. squad if the U.S. then goes and wins the Olympics with their best guys

[rustic ore]

Doesn’t UEFA happen every year?

[short flame]

To Europeans it is

[celest zephyr]

exaclt ybut my point is , i just consider the highest competition where people from every nation are competing its fine to be world champion tbh

[dense blade]

By nobody do you mean united states of America?

[celest zephyr]

i don't think FIBA will ever be at the same level of the NBA

but World cup is pretty close

[sweet tree]

I dont think people care for FIBA lol

Olympics > FIBA

[celest zephyr]

most people don't even know when FIBA is on

[sweet tree]

it's different in basketball

[proud coyote]

nobody who is being honest to the context here haha, the olympics are both a far bigger deal and represent the same sort of thing as FIBA. you're differentiating them for pure semantical reasons

[nimble onyx]

I’ve seen so many claim that Jamaica won because of the foot, really showed that most don’t even watch the sport fr lol

[proud coyote]

if germany had won the olympics and the US had won fiba, we could call germany the world champs in the same vein

[celest zephyr]

most athletics are very technical so its fine if people feel that

[proud coyote]

i dont even care tbh

[celest zephyr]

you know if the rules changed, he would of won but we won based on teh set rules its fine lol

i love a bit of controversy to be honest... gets the people going 🤣

[nimble onyx]

I agree but that doesn’t discredit what Lyles said

[dense blade]

Why are they not going to Fiba then? What's stopping US?

Nba champions has more value than any basketball competition and I'm not denying that but it's still technically not world champions

[celest zephyr]

nah i know, its fine. If lyles lost a lot of people would probably argue the other set of rules

just good banter

[nimble onyx]

That’s fair

[dense blade]

Jamaica was leading it was pretty close the commentator also said the Jamaican won before the results came

[nimble onyx]

But I don’t think it’s banter for the most part they genuinely don’t know 😂

Yea real close race wouldn’t say Lyles smoked anybody

[dense blade]

Athletes has started US will start to climb up now..

[celest zephyr]

lol lets be honest man, most people don't follow tracka nd field till the olympics. Even in Bolts prime. Most people don't know the rules

same with swimming

no one knows shit about swimming rules

[nimble onyx]

You right

[dense blade]

That's why Olympics track and fields are much more important than world athletics

[dense blade]

Track and field rules are pretty simple no? Don't start before the fire or you would be disqualified and run fast.. same with other events generally

[celest zephyr]

they know those rules but every sports has very clear cut technicalities that no one pays attention to

like torso before head/feet etc

but people could probably tell you about futbol technicalities of offsides even though a lot of people have no idea

[dense blade]

People usually watch the semi final and final events

Of tracks n fields and they don't actually follow the sport year all round, and the rules aren't even that difficult to understand

[dense blade]

Noah lyles PB is 9.79 only is crazy because before the final I thought he was some 9.65 guy

[celest zephyr]

i think he is a 200 guy that converted to 100m

idk if he can get better or not

[dense blade]

Usain Bolt was also a 200m guy tho

[celest zephyr]

the biggest problem for him is his starts

he has really bad starts lol

[dense blade]

His acceleration is pretty quick ur right

Usain Bolt winning the 2016 rio 100m was crazy too tho he was alr past his prime but was born in the right era 😂

He won't get 23 golds tho

But he is insane man winning 100m freestyle with a 1 sec gap is crazy

I don't follow much of swimming but I knew that race was special

[calm mulch]

i saw a lot of people (mostly americans) crying about him doping

otherwise it would't be "humanly possible"

[dense blade]

I heard some coach said it was not humanly possible

It's petty behaviour

Just jealous

[calm mulch]

At this point we need a roid olympics, just to see the actual physical limit of the human ability

(actually it wouldn't work, nobody would want to watch the normal olympics anymore)

[celest zephyr]

michael phelps was a prototype optimized for swimming

lol man had 2x the lung capacity gifted by the genes god

[dense blade]

Well player do dope so accusing some player is not technically wrong but accusing just because he is chinese/non white is the problem. They won't do this if he was american

[calm mulch]

i think most athletes dope tbh

[celest zephyr]

that use to be what baseball was for

[calm mulch]

i think the golden age of track and field everyone was doped tf up

[dense blade]

Obviously but most just don't get found out

[calm mulch]

Asafa Powell, Tyson Gay, Yohan Blake, Justin Gatlin AND Usain Bolt

all doped to the moon

[dense blade]

Usain Bolt was tested throughout his entire career tho

[calm mulch]

he got the world record by a landslide while showboating before finishing the race...

[celest zephyr]

they did not dope to the moon lol, the only one that doped was justin gatlin 😭

[calm mulch]

He had this ability to keep pace at the second half of the race no other human on the planet ever had or showed anything close

it's uncanny how he would just keep at it while everyone dropped

[dense blade]

He was what you say one in a lifetime player just like messi

I think I saw some yt video a while back saying what usain did was humanly possible but close to impossible so technically you can't accuse him

[calm mulch]

Now we need a whole olympic event for roid'd up athletes

White Sox fall 13-7 to the Twins for their 20th straight defeat. This is starting to get serious.

it's "mechanically" possible

now to find someone that has the muscles to power the mechanics is a whole different story

[dim kettle]

@desert palm It has been completed

[short flame]

As long as you make sure I never hear of it otherwise I’m going there and storm it

[calm mulch]

i was watching the women's table tennis finals the other day, and the caster said that the Chinese's qualifiers is actualy harder than the whole olympic event

[dense blade]

Usain Bolt once ran 8.95 in 4x100m relay lol

[calm mulch]

and now that i think about it, it's probably true

there is probably like 30 other players just as good as the pair that made to the event, they just werent on their game that specific day

so you gotta battle your way through 30ish people that would all be in the finals against pretty much all other countries

[calm mulch]

storm it to watch the event

[dense blade]

Same with archery for korea, the commentator said 2021 tokyo gold winner failed to make it to Paris because he lost at the qualifiers lol

And he is just 22 if I remember

The entire US team for table tennis is asian too, it's China's favourite sport imo

[short flame]

To burn it down

[short flame]

And for a lot of teams

Chile had a 56 years old Chinese grandma in their ping pong team

[robust grotto]

Now it’s getting serious?? Lol

[celest zephyr]

most kids play ping pong in the US are just kids using it to build their college admission for ivy league lol

[dense blade]

Easy to play for beginners and indoor sport

[short flame]

It’s a fun sport

[celest zephyr]

if you see a lot of the sports like fencing, and swimming also. You can see that most of the people go to like stanford, harvard.
These are pretty affluent sports and only the big schools train for them, and most people don't know how to get in or can even pay in certain cases.

[rustic mountain]

I am just convinced most Olympic sports are reserved for the kids of rich families who can afford the training/equipment/ etc

Not all of it sure

But a good portion

[dense blade]

Katie ledecky is also a Stanford grad

[dense blade]

Remove athletes I believe, all others sure

[short flame]

How can you remove athletes?

[rustic mountain]

Anything to do with Equestrian nonsense is easily just the stuffiest and richy rich nonsense

Same for golf

[celest zephyr]

ya golf for sure

[rustic mountain]

Pretty much all of it besides like

Running

[short flame]

Football is pretty universal

[rustic mountain]

Sports are more and more just for people of any affluence

[robust grotto]

Should hockey be taken from the Olympics because it’s an expensive sport

[dense blade]

I just remembered Emma navvaro lo

[rustic mountain]

I am not saying take anything away

[celest zephyr]

Basketball has turned into a rich person sport with all these camps now

[rustic mountain]

Just maybe that perspective should be had

[celest zephyr]

basketball/football use to be the sport you played to make it out

[short flame]

No it’s still a sport. Sports are there to entertain, rich kids should also be allowed to practice sports

Emma Navarro told Qinwen Zheng she doesn’t respect her as a competitor:

"I just told her I didn't respect her as a competitor.”

"I think she goes about things in a pretty cut-throat way. It makes for a locker room that doesn't have a lot of camaraderie, so it's tough to face an

Jessica pegula is the daughter of the sabres beloved owner

[dense blade]

Really? But still her achievements are incredible either ways

[robust grotto]

Yep

[rustic mountain]

The achievements are incredible and surely should be applauded

But could someone else have possibly done better but because they didn't have the same advantages never got the chance to? Probably

[dense blade]

Just checked he is not really his dad. She is her niece but yeah same connections

[short flame]

I don’t like how they’re phrasing it. It’s not that he failed when it counted it’s that runners specialize in having a strong start of finish depending on what they’re better at. He had a good start but Lyles had a better finish

[robust grotto]

Damn I was misinformed sorry friends

[dense blade]

You can say that for the entire history.

[short flame]

Yeah but at least you have infrastructures in place to help as many athletes as possible. Colombia doesn’t have a single bmx track. Our athlete’s father built them a track in his backyard himself. Without any funding

[rustic mountain]

There can be multiple things true at one time

The gap between the 1% and the absolute most destitute is a vast swath of different kinds of disadvantages

You haven’t proven otherwise

Can we get an updated rant pls?

[rustic mountain]

Ahhhh usually gotta wait til October for these kinda complainin

Like brother you won

Just move on, we are having an absolutely abysmal era of unfulfilled potential and just trying to get by

[desert palm]

No one likes the bond treatment

I completely agree with him as a fan lol

[rustic mountain]

You're a yankee fan ofc you do lol

You want to see Judge go deep

[desert palm]

All the bias

[rustic mountain]

And I am like in the opposite boat. Make everyone else beat us

And the Yankees won so lile

[desert palm]

#sports message

[rustic mountain]

Like

Tf is Soto on about

I am not saying he only hits for power

He is a great hitter

[desert palm]

I think he’s more so frustrated with all the teams not just the Jays, happened to be the Jays Did it three times

“Female Cats”

[rustic mountain]

Yeah because Schneider and the front office are over analytical tools

But

I am not gonna disagree I'd walk Judge every time too

If I didn't have an ace on the mound, I am gonna walk Judge and make the rest of that lineup beat us

[desert palm]

Raise his obp

[rustic mountain]

Absolutely. But if no one else can drive him in, then sweet

[desert palm]

We really need a third person besides Soto and judge

[dim kettle]

[desert palm]

That way teams can’t take advantage of Soto amazing eyes and walk judge

[rustic mountain]

It's just like football. Oh cool, you have Justin Jefferson? K we are gonna double team him and make the rest of your team beat us

Granted Jefferson plays for the Vikings who will just beat themselves

But you catch my drift

[desert palm]

I do think there should be a limit on how many times you can intentionally walk one player

Three in one game is pretty absurd

I agree that judge is bonds in the modern era, but like it’s very annoying watch get walked like that

[rustic mountain]

I don't agree with that at all

Why should there be a limit

There is a consequence to walking a player, they get a free runner

[desert palm]

Idk

In todays game

It’s not that big of a deal to have a runner when strikeouts are much more common place

[rustic mountain]

So I don't necessarily understand the need to limit walks other than to artificially inflate the offense, limit the defensive strategies of the game, and make sure the stars get more chances to do big things. Which, ends up paralleling football all over again by limiting the defense in favor of wanting a more explosive offensive game

[desert palm]

I’m assuming you’re not a fan of the shift rules then

[rustic mountain]

Not really no

You're a hitter that can only hit one way but yes let's reward that

I am pretty firmly in the camp of "limiting defense through rules is pretty lame"

[desert palm]

I disagree but I hear what you are saying

Historically, shifting was not what it became

Also, it needlessly made the game longer

[rustic mountain]

I think that most sports nowadays are so focused on offensive output and reducing downtime that, in my opinion, we are throwing away defensive quality

I am a defense first kind of guy, so I am probably not the opinion most want to hear

[desert palm]

I guess

But I would definitely say that football has definitely done that more than baseball

Also funnies

I mean, I’ve always wanted this crossover so I’m so happy that it’s actually happening, but I’m so sad that it’s for the team I root for historical rival.

[short flame]

I get what you mean but luffy is above the sport and teams

[desert palm]

Hard to say that when the bobble head has him wearing a Red Sox jersey

😭

That’s just his classic red shirt

I wish

But the text says otherwise lol

Either way, I am still happy that it’s happening

I’ll definitely watch it just to see the one piece stuff they do

You’ll have to send the stuff
