@RobertJamis Josh Allen is one of the few successful quarterbacks in the last 20 years or so who doesn’t meet the 60% completion percentage metric. In fact, the only one of the seven requirements he did meet was TD/INT ratio.

@ThreadOrder Also, to your original point, I’m like 99 percent sure that every clay Future in the US is played Har-Tru, which is faster than some of the slower hard courts. Hell, even Houston is on Har-Tru painted maroon.

National Federations pour billions into talent development in the hope of creating champions when the answer has been so obvious for so long. 1) have red clay 2) have lots of tournaments Italy model

@USTA I longer I play and teachj tennis the more I'm convinced that American Players need to develop their games on RED CLAY. It demands more balanced and rhythmic movement as well as encouraging faster racquet speed and great variety of shots. Watch HOUSTON right now!

@atTheTrack7 Even more than that, maybe a horse that can’t handle anything more than a mild hand ride shouldn’t be in training

Again, not defending it, but also not surprised to see this statement from the jockey’s agent based on this horse’s previous races. If this is indeed true, which it very well might be, it still should be something that is disclosed to the betting public for both their protection as the most important group in horse racing and for the protection of the rider. That’s a rule that needs to be implemented, in my opinion.

I am not going to defend it and I cannot explain what the reason is, but every race, whether she wins, runs 2nd, 3rd, 6th, etc., she is never asked. It’s quite bizarre but there has to be something with this filly that causes her to be ridden in such a manner. I’m not smart enough to understand why though.

@Gill_Gross It’s not the one that Korda, Khachanov, Humbert and others are playing with? The Pure Aero clone people are calling the Python.

@thomaschattwill That’s a normal line for early in the morning at PHL. Probably 20-30 minutes tops.

Spent the last two days drafting my big magazine piece about the strange meaninglessness of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The "Our Spacious Skies" feature goes heavy meta(l). Submitted. And I'm pretty sure it's one of the best things I've ever written. We'll see, I guess.

They’re also 70th in adjusted offensive efficiency and 153rd in defensive efficiency. This is not one of the 37 best non-autobid teams by any objective measure.

I can’t believe it’s even a conversation that Miami (OH) should get an autobid. If they played two top 50 teams and lost both, no one would argue they belong in the tournament. Instead, they played no one, beaten no one, and have a quad 4 loss.

@DanaONeilWriter Would they go .500 in the Big East? If the answer is no, they don’t deserve an NCAA tournament bid. Hint: the answer is no.

"Bids mean money and everyone wants more money." The debate (which shouldn't be a debate) about @MiamiOH_BBall arrives amid talk of tourney expansion. Will more teams less argument? cnn.com/2026/03/12/spo…

@Gill_Gross I don’t think Atmane likes playing other lefties. The numbers also back it up: he has a losing record against them at challenger level.

America leads the world in gold medals since the modern Olympics began in 1896, and it’s not even close. It’s not because of superior genetics—we’re mutts. It’s because we have freedom. We’re free to dream, nurture talent, and pursue excellence. God bless America. 🇺🇸

@bunchonumb3rs In fiscal year 2024 (the most recent year with numbers), 19.7% of Ecuadoreans were granted asylum. It’s in the bottom five of all countries by grant rate. I don’t want closed borders at all. And I guarantee I know more about this than you

@TheFoyeEffect @radmassey More than a third of all claimants have their asylum granted lol. You fuckers need to quit lying about asylum and just say what you want (which is closed borders and no asylum process). You aren’t honest about it because people don’t agree with you.
