I grew up watching the Bear Bryant show sponsored by Coca Cola and Golden Flake.

Some are starting to point to him skipping the Olympics, which has stricter policies than the UCI.


He skipped the Olympics because of the bullshite with the national team. His girlfriend won the national championship race but wasn't chosen for the Olympic team for whatever reason by the team's director. Typical rinky dink federation bullshite. I don't blame him.

As far as doping, something's going on. Something's always going on. The question is what's giving Tadej the edge because he's obviously got one. He's incredibly talented and what he's been accomplishing has been somewhat normalized at this point but it's still turbo alien.

Because Tom Osborne is the biggest hypocrite this side of JoePa. He put on these sanctimonious airs (while, at the same time, painting Barry as a cheating reprobate) about "doing it the right way". After gagging like choke artists in big games, Dr Tom sold his soul and started to bring in the criminal shitheads in Lawrence Phillips and Christian Peters. I guess it's only bad when those turds played in Norman. Plus, the infamous "county scholarship" program got shut down.

Dr Tom was a fraud.

Bill McCartney was another.

Plus the Huskers made good use of steroids, which wasn't unusual, I saw it up close with Jimmy Johnson, but running a drug program for teenagers is not exactly ethical behavior.

Both Red Bull and Ferrari tried to give a podium away and Ferrari succeded.

Backfired coming out behind Hadjar.
This has been the weirdest Tour. Tadej could have won 3 more stages but instead worked as Del Toro's superdomestique. Seems like he spent half the Tour looking back to make sure IDT was okay.
The only comparable I can remember was Cancellara smoking Boonen on the Koppenberg in the saddle to win Flanders. That was the year there was rampant suspicion that Fabian was using a motor.
Objectively, if you're gonna have women's sports then there has to be a line draw as to who is a woman. Can't do that without checking physiology.
Dumbass is traumatizing the hell out of the family going through the graphic description of how autopsies are performed.
This could be something that both parties agree is a shite idea and are able to come together to override a veto.
The reason prices haven't skyrocketed is probably China. They massively cut imports so the demand shock didn't materialize. The implication is that they had far more in reserves than was assumed.
Giving schools more certainty on compensation and allowing the NCAA to limit transfers and years of eligibility makes sense but capping the amount of conference members seems like overreach.

The article also says that if the SEC doesn't like the next landscape it might move to a "self-governance model in which the conference would establish its own rules, enforce those rules and even compete against only itself" in an attempt to run things the way they want without the courts intervening.
And Oscar continues to fade.
The way Pogacar has dominated cycling the last few years is on par with what anybody has done in the history of sports.

In a sport that's had a clear cut GOAT like Jordan or Gretzky for 50 years, he's become the best.

The trans issue is a very funny one to focus on to swing a vote since it effects like 13 people across the entire country and he would have no real power as a senator from Texas to impact that.
The game is to distract you with emotional issues while picking your pocket. Both parties are very aware of that.

Pacing: The film doesn't "get going" until at least 30 minutes in. A 3-hour film is a lot to ask of an audience, so if the opening hook is sedate, you've got a problem on your hands.

I thought the first hour of Oppenheimer was really irritating. It was like the worlds longest trailer with the way it wouldn't stay focused on anything. Once it got to the bomb test, that was amazing but it was a slog getting there.
I'm sure he's got an eye on Cav's 35 stage wins too.
Not a bad way to go. Being healthy enough to travel around the world then having the light turned off suddenly without a brutal prolonged illness.
I've enjoyed the tournament but still wish soccer would find a way to open up the game more like the NFL did in the 1970s with tightening how receivers could be played and the NBA with illegal defense and hand checking.
He wouldn't be the first athlete to have a non-contact knee injury out of nowhere in competition.
