Wes Boling

Wearing a heavy dose of perfume on a 10-hour flight should earn you a seat in a one-month no-fly penalty box.

Alex Kirshner: Always in stud mode

For me, not for thee.

Putting a cap on this day with a (dreadful) song whose chorus is a chant of “I don’t know where we are going now” feels a bit of a self-own, even by Spurs standards.

What color is North London?

You already know.

My yell terrified my five year old, who was quietly playing five feet away

*15 of 17. Apologies.

Carey left Vandy for a better program, with a better coach and better fans. That program has now won 10 of 12 against the Dores.

No wonder Vandy fans channeled their inner Pavia and cussed him out.

Forever little brother.

Wes was a fellow Gooner. Early in my fandom, when Arsenal lost the League Cup final to Birmingham City, I dismissed the loss because it was a "minor competition." I still remember Wes's response.

"Every trophy is a big deal."

Damn right.

“Good for you. You shouldn’t do this job unless you’re obsessed with it. I’m obsessed with this job.”

Wes Rucker’s words to me when I left sports journalism 15 years ago.

He loved what he did. And he loved his people more. May God, and may we, bless his family.

Get used to this, Nashville fans.

will probably take a step back from aggressive promotion of my FREE, DAILY Olympics newsletter — returns are diminishing, seems people have figured out whether or not they want an Olympics newsletter at this point — but I am at 9,700 subscribers and would love to get to that round number by the end

Elana Meyers Taylor holding up the American flag after winning her first gold medal. she's overcome with joy

Meyers Taylor said her children's disabilities — both of her sons are deaf and Nico has Down syndrome — have created some "unique challenges" on the road. Nico experiences sensory overload at times and becomes overwhelmed, she said. The boys don't particularly sleep well on planes and then there's keeping up with their specialized treatments and medical equipment while on tour."

"I thought it would get much easier as they got older and it has not," Meyers Taylor, 41, said at the USOPC media summit in October. "Bigger children, bigger problems. Now that they're both walking, they're both up. They don't want to sit on planes, they don't want to stay still. They don't want to sit for meals or anything like that. So it is absolute chaos."

Elana Meyers Taylor.
Wins medals in 4 Olympics (bronze in 2010, silver in 2014/18/22)
In 2020 & 2022, she has kids. Both have special needs. She lives on the road with them, flying around the world for months at a time to compete in bobsled.
And THEN! At 41! She wins her first gold.
American hero.

I’m told there are many sports being played in Italy right now. As for me…I live in Curltina.

MLS was stronger when it offered THE definitive source of league-wide coverage. Extra Time and the site were the town center where fans and clubs gathered. MLS ceded that ground and alienated its best voices, just in time for the biggest year in North American soccer history.

Preach!

I will never understand the logical leap from “meh, that’s not my thing” to “other people who like this are obviously persecuting me and precipitating the fall of society.”

This is a halftime show skeet.

Don’t go chasing revenue.
Just stick to the rivers and lakes that you’re used to

I’ve always revered my son’s teachers. But after filling in for them as lunch and recess monitor during a teacher appreciation event…that respect just reached new levels.

But hey, I kept 25 five-year-old children from calamity for an hour!

Um, yes please!

I’m late to the party, but K Pop Demon Hunters is FULL of bangers. For once my five year old didn’t steer me wrong.

“The Bible is only talking about individuals and not the government when it says to be kind to others” is an insane argument in favor of government cruelty but also IF THATS HOW YOUR WORLDVIEW WORKS WHY DO YOU KEEP MAKING SO MANY OTHER GOVERNMENT LAWS BASED ON OTHER BIBLE STUFF

Aaaand then he evaded the cop and ran back to his team. He’s had practice with the former.

Chris Beard has a temper? If only there had been a sign…

So beautifully petty.

Inject it.

This retraumatized me. (Also, it’s brilliant)
