Please don't tell me I should be cheering for a Boston team.  I don't think my mental state can handle it! 😛

Haha, nah. Just a funny little anecdote that I heard somewhere. But how many times do franchises get traded. Gotta be pretty rare? Weren't the Colts traded for the Rams? Can't think of any in modern baseball or hockey.

Those are the only 2 that immediately spring to mind.

What conspiracy? That the NBA is a league of runs and that big leads disappearing isn't strange at all?

I thought the insinuation you were making was that the NBA was rigging games.

Not outright. 

That statement was just saying that big leads evaporate in the NBA. Only takes 3 minutes and a hot shooter. One team misses 2 shots and it can be a 9-0 run going the other way. If they do that twice it's right back to a close game.

My brother just scored us tickets for Martinsville on Halloween! I can't wait. I've only ever seen NASCAR at The Glen and at Pocono. Can't wait for the "half mile of mayhem!"

Have been watching KBF (Kayak Bass Fishing) tournaments lately on YouTube. It’s much different than the recreational pace that I do it at, but it’s really cool to watch some of these guys and gals.

I honestly just love tennis. I only watch the majors really but all of them, both men's and women's draws. It's such a fun sport, so much great 1-on-1 psychology. I frankly can't wrap my mind around how athletic they are, that cardio, to have such long matches for hours on end

I'm a Nadal fan.  And Nadal on clay is tennis perfection.  Going for his 14th French title.  That's crazy.

That's the other awesome thing about tennis. We are watching 3 players right now all battling not just for best today, but ALL TIME! I can't think of ever seeing that before. That's like if Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus and Ben Hogan all played together

Yep.  I think Federer is done winning Grand Slams, but I guess you never know.  Djokovic and Nadal is always a good matchup.  And history if it's a Grand Slam event.

Good start for Nadal today

Yeah, and he didn't have the best start.  Still pitching a shutout so far.

Rough at times, but glad he closed out that first set.  Neither has been consistently good so far.

And that's a big part of why the French is dull.  (Along with slower play due to the surface.)

Maybe if they limited how many times he could rub his ears between serves somebody else might have a chance.  😉

Great tennis match so far.  It's like a heavyweight fight.  

The judge getting out of her chair and pointing to where the ball hit was classic 😂

I don't watch much tennis, but it really is crazy.  58 grand slam titles between just the three of them.

And, absurdly, only a single career grand slam for each. Djokovic and Federer are both 1-4 at the French Open finals, and Nadal is 1-4 at the Australian Open finals.

If this chair umpire doesn't become a meme, I'll be surprised.   She's a badass! 😂

OK, I've watched a decent amount of tennis in my life, and I've never seen a chair umpire do this.  Now at least 3 times already she's marched out and pointed to where the ball landed.  She's gotta be trolling us at this point. 😂

This match is ridiculous.  Two legends battling it out at the top of their games.  Trading shot for shot.  You don't get these moments often in sports.

Too bad I’ll never see it.
