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. Quote

Hoss Posted June 4, 2021 Report Posted June 4, 2021 7 hours ago, ubkev said: 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. Quote

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. 1 Quote
ubkev Posted June 9, 2021 Report Posted June 9, 2021 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!" 1 Quote

I-90 W Posted June 11, 2021 Report Posted June 11, 2021 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. Quote

Thorner Posted June 11, 2021 Report Posted June 11, 2021 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 1 Quote

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 1 Quote

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. 😉 1 Quote
Thwomp! Posted June 11, 2021 Report Posted June 11, 2021 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 😂 Quote

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. 2 Quote

Thwomp! Posted June 11, 2021 Report Posted June 11, 2021 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. Quote

erickompositör72 Posted June 11, 2021 Report Posted June 11, 2021 Andy Roddick tweeted this is one of the best matches he's ever seen (and that was during the 3rd set breaker). Vamos Rafa! Quote
