shite the bed again.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

The top basketball recruit in the country just chose Kansas over Kentucky minutes after UK assistant Mo Williams hyped up the impending decision announcement on X.

I worked at UK for a few years so sympathize with Cat fans. Pope is a living Steve Buscemi fellow kids meme. Dude just cannot connect with the young folks and doesn't seem like his staff is helping.

If sawe is doping he’s on some interesting shite…

Lance Armstrong paid 100 grand to buy a blood testing machine for cycling's antidopers. The team of his biggest rival was getting doped by a scientist who also ran a German university's antidoping research program.

The women's marathon world record holder tested negative over and over and over until she tested positive for a massive amount of diuretic drug in her system that can fool tests.

I'm very skeptical that anybody can be an elite distance runner, much less a world record holder, without blood doping because it's that effective, even in small doses. I'm sure the shoes help but not as much as using methods that supercharge the amount of oxygen that can be transported in the blood.

If there were ever two brothers destined to grow up to be fighters it was Nate and Nick in Stockton.

This is what I think of when I think of those guys, the caption says Strikeforce but it was an EliteXC event after Nick fought KJ Noons. Nick and Nate walking up the steps of the arena throwing up middle fingers and hand signs still cracks me up.

They got into another post-fight rumble a few years later, that time with Mayhem after a Jake Shields fight in Strikeforce.

Sorry for the portrait view but this is the only video I could find.

I find it interesting we abandoned the space shuttle and went back to 50s capsule tech for reentry.

SpaceX is doing the same with Dragon that ferries astronauts to the space station and back. A capsule with a splashdown or a landing in Russia is the keep it simple option.

At best Trump is Joe Paterno because by his own admission a couple of times he knew what his buddy was up to. And he didn't do anything about it.

According to a Wash Post reporter who talked to Trump this afternoon, Melania didn't tell the President what she was going to do. My guess is that he was livid when he found out.

This post is America in a nutshell. People that have no clue what they are talking about calling the people that have done the studies on things stupid.

This is probably a robust study done by Univ of Wisconsin researchers on 2600 high school players with about half wearing the caps.

They didn't find any difference in concussion rates between those who wore them and those who didn't. There have been lab tests that showed they might help a little when hit from certain directions but one I read found that it was because the caps slipped on contact, not because the extra cushioning did anything.

The UW study mentioned extra jaw padding as maybe being beneficial but the bottom line is that really the only way to guarantee brain health is to limit head jarring contact as much as possible.

An actual ceasefire cannot exist with the Islamic hardliners still in control in Iran.

How much control does any faction have at this point. If there's no definite command structure in place there may not be any hope for a ceasefire to stick.

The funny part is that she also has a reputation of getting half of her reporting wrong so she either sucks or she sucks.

Hiring a guy who was notorious for not giving young guys playing time doesn't seem to fit at a blue blood program.

Nothing like his 1st term. He lies, he doesn’t put America first, he scapegoats all his hires who were completely loyal to him doing everything exactly the way he wanted. He is just as corrupt as the knuckleheads in Congress. I hope we can find someone in 2028 that will do the job the way 2016 Trump did.

His first term wasn't that great either.

The tax bill was a big plus but he celebrated prematurely and Obamacare reform failed. No infrastructure bill passed. Covid response was a mess. North Korea was a brilliant move but wasn't followed-up so they are still belligerent.
