re: Pickleball Slam

It’s pretty entertaining watching the one pickleball girl take over
I can appreciate the writer at least acknowledging that she has made a mistake. The problem is she still misses the mark about where she was wrong. This quote proves it:

quote:

Ten years go by. Surely, the men left in their forties are still single because they're looking for something real, something mature; a woman of substance. Wrong. They're still dating twenty-year-olds, just now with a hair transplant and an eye-rolling age gap.


The vast majority of single men in their 40s are not dating 20 somethings. This woman’s main problem isn’t a focus on career. It’s an inflated sense of self worth. She still thinks she deserves a top 1% man, the type that can pull a 20 something at 40 if he wants.

The problem is she can’t pull that guy, and honestly probably never could except for a hookup when the guy was on a backslide.

I know a lot girls who like to pretend the career thing is why they are single. The reason they are actually single is because they need a reality check about how valued they are. Any thin, okay looking girl like the author could easily find some guy to settle down with, but she still thinks she’s too good for that.
quote:

We have a sizable segment of our fan base that scream for Madonna but answer me this, if she’s such an amazing coach, why has literally NO Division I school even interviewed her for a job? Doesn’t that kind of make you wonder?


To be fair, the same thing happened with Bucky in the men’s game coaching high school until Samford gave him a shot. I’d like to see a Samford or UAB or whoever give Thompson a shot in the women’s game.

I agree that jumping from JuCo to SEC doesn’t seem realistic.
I think his take at the end that having Simpson in the 15 to 20 range is better than Mendoza at 1 makes a lot of sense.

I’m not sure Simpson is better than Mendoza because Simpson’s deep ball was pretty lacking at times. I do think people outside of Alabama and the SEC don’t appreciate how bad the Alabama offense was outside of Simpson.

The running game, including RPO, was nonexistent even against light boxes. Simpson had to pick apart defenses with the defense playing for a pass every play.

Not a single pitcher is going to pitch in the WBC after a 162 game season and postseason. Most players wouldn’t want to either. That’s just not realistic


I agree with you, but also hockey players do with this for the iihf world championships every year. Those start while the Stanley Cup playoffs are still going, and some guys will get knocked out of the playoffs and immediately fly over to Europe to join their national team.

Just more evidence that hockey is the purest sport left standing.
I think it should be a week or 10 days and replace the all star break. I feel that every league except the NFL should move this way given the ratings hockey has pulled for the 4 nations and the Olympics, and now baseball with the WBC.

I think it’d be smart to try to get a big game on the 4th of July. Team USA playing America’s pass time on Independence Day. Seems like the easiest sell ever.
Anyone know the tipoff time? I know 6 is the listed but seems like UT-Vandy went long
Kind of unlucky for us that Sweden finished all the way down as a 7 seed. That’s probably who we’ll play Wednesday.
In Swayman’s defense on the last one, Miller has to close that space more. Staying that far back is doing more to screen your own goalie than to block the shot.
quote:

I thought our goalie was supposed to be the best


Hellebuyck started the first game and will start the next game and the knockout games. Oettinger might even take over as backup after this showig from Swayman.

quote:

Also, I know I called Ilia a choker earlier, but I’m seeing a lot of things talking about the quality of the ice. Any truth to that or just sour grapes?


I don’t know, but basically everyone was falling. I think 4 of the last 5 fell which would be 4 of the favorites to win gold because the highest scorers from the short program went last today.
quote:

After they got him coached up what to and what not to say. Believe his words when he didn't think the mic would pick it up and his body language as he left the bench.


I thought he handled himself pretty well given the circumstances.

Sponsors aren’t going to drop him over that. They might over just losing, but I doubt anyone is going to care beyond this week that a hot mic caught him saying he should have been on the 2022 team.
The format of this tournament is kind of silly. No one gets eliminated in the group stage.
quote:

Oh. I’m watching on Peacock


I am too now, but I think it’s crazy to not have a U.S. gold medal match on a broadcast or cable network.
quote:

What? It went to commercial


Studio host said they are switching to figure skating, and to tune to Peacock to watch the end.
quote:

WTH they're cutting away from the match?


Seriously. Seems like a gimmick to get me a back on Peacock for the 2 months every 4 years
He’s not ready for the biggest level yet, but he’s a rookie. People shouldn’t say the gap between the NFL and college is huge, and then act like a guy is a bust because he isn’t good as a rookie.
quote:

Also the comments are so mild. The comments from Hess are the only ones that are remotely controversial (and he didn’t come off eloquent), but I can’t imagine how someone would get fired up about it.


Also, these guys will complain about this and say the Olympics are woke then turn on the Super Bowl where I guarantee a higher percentage of the athletes are woke than the Olympic team.
I really enjoyed the documentary. I do think a lot of things don’t do a good enough job capturing how good the Soviet team was. They will always mention that they were effectively pros and had dominated the Olympic competitions, but they fail to mention that the Soviet team routinely beat NHL pros including winning a 3 game series over an NHL all star in 1979.

The Miracle of Ice wasn’t just a college group beating a professional team. It was a college team beating an elite professional team.
