Sinner (due to injury)

Interesting comments from Dimitrov. I would argue, though, that Sinner has had to deal with adversity going through his suspensions for violating the drug ban.

Who?

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

The USTA will never reduce number of grounds passes. They will probably increase them again this year and boast of record crowds.

Any update about starting time for #Mets game today?

@codystavenhagen.bsky.social I’ve been visiting Petaluma for the past four days and have been disappointed not to see a single Torkelson jersey or Detroit Tigers cap.

Opinion | What Autocrats Want From Academics: Servility In 1931, Italian scholars were made to take loyalty oaths. Will that happen to us?

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...

If you ran into my ex-sister-in-law I’m sure she wouldn’t be watching

Imagine if most of the star players on both teams in today’s Super Bowl took a knee during the national anthem to protest the cruel, illegal and racist policies being promoted by the president who will be at the game? We can only imagine because it’s not going to happen.

Super Bowl words of wisdom.

In CT, some friction as MLK Day coincides with Trump inauguration During an MLK Day celebration in West Hartford, a high school student dropped 'the line of the morning' about Donald Trump's inauguration.

“One in every 13 voting-age African-Americans cannot vote. This rate is four times higher than all other Americans,” a West Hartford student said at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration.

“Think about this: Criminals can’t vote, but they can become presidents.”

Powerful words from a powerful leader.

Cristian is certainly a noisy player. #AusOpen

Much better than McEnroes or Brad Gilbert. They are also calling players by their names, instead of saying “the American” or “the Russian.”

In US, it is only live on ESPN

It depends on what sports you follow. There have been plenty of tennis posts on Bluesky

Godfather is one of best movies ever.
Other good ones are Field of Dreams, Easy Rider and Good Will Hunting.

Neither my son nor myself are excited about the prospect of Arenado in a Tigers uniform.

It’s all about the money, the corruption, the sportswashing.

Am I the only person who has never heard of Kylie Minogue until today?

Contrary to what you were hearing about fans not being fired up over Manager of Year, you should see how upset a lot of Mets fans are about Mendoza not winning it in NL.
