Add 15 minutes each go, and play until someone scores. That was a crap ending to an otherwise great game (and I don't really like soccer) Good for Messi, now go away. I think France would have won, but it's hard to say, that's why I'm so sad that it has to end like this. I watched a good chunk of the final, and of US vs Iran, but I don't like soccer either. Deciding the WC on penalty kicks is insane. For that matter, penalty kicks themselves are silly -- the scoring percentage is much too high, so that whenever a penalty kick is awarded, it's pretty much like awarding a goal. Also, it's just a guessing game that frequently results in the goalie just leaping the wrong way and looking ridiculous. The whole clock thing is pretty silly too -- the ball goes out of bounds, the players fake injuries and act like they've been shot, the refs kinda keep track of how much time all that takes and add on some indeterminate amount that for some reason doesn't show up on the scoreboard, so no one knows how much time is left -- WTF is that? Not to mention the fact that a lot of the games are 1-0 snoozers. Having said all of that, I've attended two big-league soccer games in Europe, and really enjoyed both of them. The crowd was really into it and they were fun experiences. But no thanks to watching it on TV. Quote
Norcal Posted January 29, 2023 Report Posted January 29, 2023 I have to admit. I'm into the Wrexham story. Wouldn't it be something if they can return from the depths some day? Quote

ubkev Posted March 5, 2023 Report Posted March 5, 2023 Introducing first: A look-see-do fighter, standing 6 foot 4, weighing in at 248 and 1 half pounds. Fighting out of Albuquerque, New Mexico via Endicott, New York, the former undisputed light heavyweight champion of the world. JON BONES JONES!!!! Here we go. Let's go Bones! Quote
ubkev Posted March 5, 2023 Report Posted March 5, 2023 The greatest MMA fighter to ever set foot in the octagon is about to step in the cage for the first time in 3 years. Jon Jones. The greatest fighter that ever lived. Never beaten. I've got Bones by decision in his first heavyweight appearance. I'm hoping for the KO, but I think this goes the distance and Bones teaches Gane a lesson in every aspect of MMA. That's my bet, anyway. Quote
ubkev Posted March 5, 2023 Report Posted March 5, 2023 Boom! And new UFC UNDISPUTED Heavyweight Champion of the World! Jon Bones Jones! First round sub. Guillotine. Ladies and Gents, he is the greatest fighter in the history of fighting. It's undoubted. Quote
ubkev Posted March 5, 2023 Report Posted March 5, 2023 Oh, by the way...and new pound for pound #1 fighter in the world! Simply no one has ever lived who is a better fighter. And I LOVE Alex Volkanovski. Quote

JujuFish Posted March 6, 2023 Report Posted March 6, 2023 Jon Jones? Seems unfair to let the Martian Manhunter compete. Quote

Thorny Posted March 9, 2023 Report Posted March 9, 2023 Very poignant segment on sportsnet just now detailing what drives Freddie Freeman. spoiler alert: it’s his Mom. lots of onions being cut apparently Quote
Eleven Posted March 20, 2023 Author Report Posted March 20, 2023 USA is up 12-2 on Cuba in the only baseball that matters anymore. That's a safe enough lead that I can take my melatonin, I think. Quote
Eleven Posted March 21, 2023 Author Report Posted March 21, 2023 I really wanted USA-Mexico tomorrow but it's going to be USA-Japan in the final. And I'll likely be spending any sports time I have with that game instead of the Sabres unless I go somewhere with more than one screen. Quote
ubkev Posted March 22, 2023 Report Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) The amount of ball washing of guys who's team wins 72 games every year... Here, have 2 fastballs down the pipe. Sure wish team USA would let some pitching go to this tournament. No, I didn't enjoy the game. Yes, I'm bitter and unreasonable!(as I complain about pitching in a game where the US gave up 3 runs and pitched pretty well.) Edited March 22, 2023 by ubkev I'm grumpy Quote
Thorny Posted March 31, 2023 Report Posted March 31, 2023 What an exciting W for the Jays on opening day, 10-9 against a great Cards team. Pitching was suspect until Romano was dominant, but our ability to manufacture runs looks MUCH improved. 1-0. Quote

I wish they would re-balance the league. North Carolina would kill for an expansion team.😁 Quote
