    ABS Challenge needs to be extended to all sports

    I say the following with the caveat that I haven’t actually watched a baseball game this year, but have consumed some Jomboy media: The ABS challenge is freaking fantastic. The concept is so simple and so superb, we need to extend it to all sports! NFL defense doesn’t think that was a catch...

    Five Easy Pieces - What the hell was that?

    We watched Jack Nicholson's Five Easy Pieces last night. How on earth was this nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award? Jack Nicholson is a trust fund baby who leaves his boring family and ****s around on a Bakersfield oil rig. And bangs a couple of broads. And goes home to his boring...

    Taking your own clubs to Top Golf - douchebag move or not?

    Four couples going tonight. We all play golf, but nobody lives or dies by it. One of the guys asked about bringing his own clubs. My opinion is that you'd look a little like Johnny Tryhard. We are going for beers, nachos and to hit a few balls. Thoughts?

    2024 WNBA regular season thread

    It seems like the league is big enough to support its own regular season thread. The games start on Tuesday, May 14. WNBA Schedule - 2024 Season - ESPN

    AJ Hawk's dumb look

    I have never seen McAfee's show, but you can't escape it if you peruse the sports interwebs. And every single time, I see that dummy's dumb face staring back. It gives me nightmares.

    The Wire, 20 years later

    I just started watching it. I'm 2 episodes in. Can someone explain why I don't hear one damned Ballmer accent on that police force?

    400 meter hurdles

    The best sports story of the past two years. The mens Olympic race and yesterday's WC were insane races https://olympics.nbcsports.com/2022/07/20/alison-dos-santos-jake-wightman-karsten-warholm-jakob-ingebrigtsen-track-and-field-world-championships/

    The smell in Carson, CA

    It is horrific. There is a bad sulfur-like smell eminating from somewhere in the city. Perhaps the river bed. I took an alternate way home yesterday, and my mind was on autopilot. I smelled this overhelming, horrific odor on Del Amo Blvd, and realized I was in Carson. My heart goes out the...

    Fans suck

    I never bought into that bull**** from the pandemic that fans make the events better. They don't. They suck. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/05/27/russell-westbrook-popcorn-philadelphia-fan/ New York Knicks ban fan for spitting on Hawks' Trae Young during Game 2 at Madison Square...

    I'm a big fan of comments in an article

    1. Watch the video of an OU football player pick on the wrong guy in a **** soaked bathroom. 2. Read the article with laughable lies from the family attorney (as a reminder, lawyers ****ing suck). 3. Read the comments to cut through the treacle. OU football: Holder Spencer Jones recovering...

    2020-21 NFL thread

    My apologies if there is a thread and I missed it. I wonder if Ron Rivera knew he was taking on the Bruce Allen role as well as head coach when he signed on. It never ceases to amaze me how comically inept this franchise is.

    TMZ is the most trusted name in news

    Not only did TMZ have the Kobe news at least a half hour before anyone else, more importantly, they got it right. I got a TMZ screengrab text way before anyone else was reporting it, and if you are like me, as soon as you see TMZ, you are pretty confident in the story. And of course, as the day...

    Sports subjects you are just plain tired of

    Sick to death of these. If I never heard or read another word about them, I'd be happy Pete Rose - just could not give less than a **** whether he bet, didn't bet, is in the hall, isn't. Nobody has gotten more mileage out of that worn out subject. The other guys who went in in his year -...

    Stuart Scott f'd up his estate

    Seen this happen so many times. Folks, if you have any type of money or estate, have an ironclad trust. If the beneficiaries are under 18, have someone you can trust with your life to handle the estate. Booya, cancer, great guy, all that stuff. He didn't take care of the small stuff. His two...

    2-day Jeopardy TOC Finals starts tonight

    Includes James Holzhauer, the Wilt of Jeopardy scoring records, and Emma, the woman who beat him. The James Holzhauer vs. Emma Boettcher ‘Jeopardy!’ Rematch Is the Most-Anticipated Event in Trivia History Should be awesome. And I didn't want to use the Trebek thread. It freaks me out when I...

    ESPN continues to F that Carmelo chicken

    The burnout of the shooting star Carmelo Anthony There has never been an athlete whose end of career, on court downfall has been chronicled so intently. Especially for a guy who wasn't all that. I feel like this story has been written 17 times
