Good Sports Day

I wasn’t even aware there was a baseball team outside the U.S.

Simone Biles has a great deal to be proud of, starting with all of these awards. She’s amazing and I really love to watch her.

I admire her but I hate watching gymnastics. Useless sport and I always worry they will fall.

Yeah, I suppose it’s much easier to watch a sport where people get knocked to the ground.

Yes! Speaking of which, I am really looking forward to Ngannou vs Fury. Mike Tyson is training Ngannou. I hope Ngannou wins but I doubt it. All the guys who know are betting on Fury.

Having perfect balance and control is hardly useless in sports or life for that matter but Olympians don’t make mistakes. From early on in their training their only focus, making a connection with their feet to stick the landing so I don’t know why you would ever think they are going to fall.

They will probably lose that bet since Tyson will probably train Ngannou to bite the ear of his opponent if it looks like he’s going to lose.

Because they sometimes do. Youtube it. Ugly.

Would even say painful to watch.

It’s landings like this that amaze me.

No sport is 100% flawless, dingdong. I suppose I shouldn’t have posted that knee break video but you practically asked for ugly.

Someone from Kenya just ran the marathon in 2 hrs and 35 seconds. That’s not a typo. I guess someone will break 2 hours at some point.

I saw that! He broke the record by 34 seconds so it seems like the 2 hour mark could be broken soon. Perhaps within a year or two. I remember reading the women’s record was smashed, too.

A 4 minute 34 second pace is needed. His was about 4 minutes and 35 seconds per mile. I think it will happen soon too. I guess he wasn’t trying to break it.

Why do Greeks suck at sports besides Giannis?

  • Too much feta
  • Too many olives
  • They are too busy eating awful pizza
  • They can’t see over their nose
  • They are too busy being poor
  • They are still living in the Athens Olympics days

I had to google Giannis. He’s kinda Nigerian.

Greeks aren’t really poor by any rational standards. They eat well and live well. Their real estate market has totally recovered from the Grexit days. They don’t really give a rip about stuff, though. Very laid back Med kinda life.

Their pizza sucks. I thought their inflation did too.

He’s the best basketball player for the last 5 years. He has pretty much 100% Nigerian blood, but he grew up in a country that is horrible at all sports. I give him extra credit for that.

He’s quite entertaining to watch. I’ve never seen anyone like him that can practically take 2 steps and dunk from midcourt after a sprint start.

She totally won that marathon to me. She and the other woman who helped her.

A bad sports day. First the All Blacks lost to the Springboks in the Rugby World Cup. Then Fury won a decision against Ngannou. Note my wording, Fury did not beat Ngannou. Ngannou clearly won that fight. The judges were paid off or corrupt or possibly just stupid in the most corrupt country in the world, Saudi Arabia. Every decent nation should boycott that place.

Messi won ballon d’or. Some Argentinian journalist voted for four Argentinians in the 5 votes. No vote for Haaland.

Haaland got screwed. Apparently, he is pissed. If they are going to go by world cup, which is almost never done, Haaland will never win.

I’d say that journalist should not be allowed to vote.
