Andre Agassi in the broadcast booth said to former player Andrei Medvedev of Ukraine that he's sorry what his country is going through and that it needs fighters like him right now. I recall Medvedev as a player in the 90s once insisting that he was Russian, not Ukrainian. lol I know of a...

As I type this Djokovic is playing his best tennis of the year by far - leading Zverev 2 sets to 1 in the QF. Still time for Zverev to come back but I've been surprised so far as I picked Zverev to win based on Djokovic's fairly pedestrian play so far this French Open. The winner plays Sinner...

I've never understood going for the 2 point conversion before the 4th quarter. It looks desperate & can come back to haunt you if you don't convert...but I only watch during the playoffs so maybe I'm missing something.

Melbourne is known to be the most insufferably libtard part of Australia.

The half-Korean daughter of a billionair,e Jessica Pegula, lauded by the USTA as an example of diversity and inclusion (AAPI)* lost to Aryna Sabalenka from Belarus. Lots of disappointed looking black celebs in the crowd including F1's Lewis Hamilton. I'm guessing he and others were in NYC this...

Of course, it is not possible Tiafoe's legs are gone because ESPN told us over and over again about his great "athleticism" so clearly it must be something else;)

Fritz is frustrating to cheer for but he still managed to pull out the fourth set despite not playing great largely because Tiafoe seems to have lost energy. Tiafoe played the last few games as if his legs were gone but it could be temporary. We'll see. Either way whoever wins Sinner will be...

Almost certainly something to that. The court is named after Arthur Ashe while the entire facility is named after Billie Jean King - no doubt for the lesbian's Herculean effort to defeat 55 year old youngster Bobby Riggs in a completely staged match. Sinner is going to win the first match, as...

The US Open has decided to give the two Americans, who played on Tuesday, the later night match while giving Sinner/Draper the earlier afternoon match despite Sinner's QF match being played a day later on Wednesday. There is an unofficial understanding that the guys who played a day earlier...

Tiafoe leading Dimitrov 2-1, now in the 4th set. Dimitrov's backhand has improved but he's still not that good and I fear we could end up with Tiafoe in the final. The winner plays American Taylor Fritz (who was great today) in the S-F. Needless to say it would be a huge coup for the multiculti...

I remember Caniggia scoring against both Brazil and the hosts Itay at the 1990 World Cup. Without those goals they would not have made the final which Caniggia did not play in due to suspension.

I have no idea what constitutes a penalty in this sport anymore. Kane kicked the ball before Dumfries made contact with him. At least that's how it looked on the one replay I saw.

France has not scored a goal in open play

I just caught the end but if I'm not mistaken France finished their match against Portugal with only one white player on the pitch.

Highly unusual. Also, Uruguay got a goal that looked offside. Refereeing in Latin American soccer has always been suspicious. Meanwhile in Stuttgart Antonio Rüdiger messed up on the winning goal for Spain. Germany out of their own party.
