I want to see QB draws at some point in EVERY DRIVE.

Braves have been relentless. Whichever team wins the division will have earned it.

She's like the Curt Schilling of women's tennis. The Mets ... not sure what's going on, but they're really stinking it up against the worst teams in MLB. Better now than in October, but losing the division would be a colossal failure.

Margaret Court basically put Serena on full blast, saying (in so many words) that she (MC) had it a lot tougher and Serena took longer to accomplish what she has ... and that Serena doesn't give her any admiration or respect. Other digs were thrown in, as well. Figuring there was more to this than met the eye, I looked into Margaret Court a little and it seems she's a homophobe and a racist. This may have been common knowledge to others, but it was news to me today. Here is the ESPN article in which Court goes off ... https://www.espn.com/tennis/story/_/id/34527959/margaret-court-defends-tennis-record-wake-serena-williams-farewell-says-admiration-not-reciprocated "Serena has played seven years more than I did," Court said. "I finished in my early 30s. People forget that I took two years out. I first retired ... when I was 25, thinking I would never return to tennis. "I got married, had a baby, but then had one of my best years, winning 24 out of 25 tournaments." Court pointed out that she had a superior record to Williams after they became mothers during their careers. "I came back after two babies," she said. "After having the first baby, I won three out of the four Slams." She added that "Serena hasn't won a Slam since" having a baby. Here is Court's wiki page that provides a little insight into who/what we're dealing with ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Court#Controversy Court has been a consistent critic of LGBT rights and same-sex marriage in Australia.[41] In 2012, she opposed proposed same-sex marriage reforms.[42][43] Court has been criticised for such statements by openly gay tennis players Billie Jean King, Rennae Stubbs and Martina Navratilova,[41][44] and in 2012, an LGBT rights protest group called for the renaming of Margaret Court Arena.[16] Court was criticised in May 2017 after writing a letter to The West Australian decrying Qantas, the largest airline in Australia, for being a corporate supporter of same-sex marriage and saying that she would boycott the airline. The letter, and further follow-up interviews, again led to calls from some Australians and tennis players to rename the Margaret Court Arena.[17][45][46][47][48][49][50] Some politicians, including Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, rejected calls for the change of name, saying the name celebrates Margaret Court as a tennis player.[51] Writing in the wake of this incident, Russell Jackson noted that Court had always held controversial views, which he described as "stubbornly immovable", citing her support for apartheid in 1970 ("South Africans have this thing better organised than any other country, particularly America") and her criticisms of Navratilova in 1990 ("a great player but I'd like someone at the top who the younger players can look up to. It's very sad for children to be exposed to homosexuality") as examples. [52] He added that this and the similar incident from 2012[43] are calculated provocations, allowing Court to portray herself as the victim and use the publicity to her advantage, and show that "for better or worse, Court is now the principal architect of her own image".[52]

It’s a side gig.

As of now, all I am feeling is excitement. Through yesterday, I had myself convinced that the Bills will lose on Thursday. But I knew that would change as the game gets closer and that's already happening. By Thursday morning, I'll have the Bills winning by two scores.

Does this mean he got to see renderings of the new stadium?!?

I was also unable to pick. The message I got was that picks would be ready sometime today.

I don't recall Carr's noggin being that friggin' huge.

Yeah, if they lose on Friday, that's a pretty bad sign.

Here come the sun king Here come the sun king Everybody's laughing Everybody's happy

So Josh Allen isn't going to have any 300-yard passing games. That's cute.

I think this was a classic "letdown" series. Not typical of the Mets this season (I give all the credit to Buck), but they certainly played down to their opponents in the WAS series. The Nationals have the worst record in all of MLB. The Braves are not letting up. The lead is now down to one game. I, too, have full confidence in the team. But they can't lose any more series for the remainder of the season if they want to hold onto first place. The Dodgers have been sliding. They're now 7 games up on the Mets for the best record in the NL. Chasing that should be the Mets' goal. I'm hoping the WAS series was a little wake up call. This was a series in which we saw Jeff McNeil make fielding errors in back-to-back games. That is CRAZY. Hopefully the rain day gave them some needed rest and some time to get their focus back. A sweep of the Pirates would make me feel a hell of a lot better.

Iga Świątek (1) up next. Wednesday.

Of course. I think that goes without saying. It’s always the family’s choice. That’s why the every day Joe often doesn’t put the cause of death in the obituary for suicides and overdoses. Im not criticizing the family for not broadcasting the cause of death. But to somehow find it disrespectful to discuss, ask or speculate on a fan forum is silly. No one is being disrespected.

People wanting to know how this kid died has nothing to do with being famous, privacy, or anything else. It’s just curiosity. It’s human nature. When someone dies prematurely or unexpectedly, we all want to know how. It doesn’t matter if it’s an old high school friend, a co-worker, or the brother of our favorite NFL team’s tight end. I want to know how Luke Knox died. I want to know how my high school classmate, Bill, died and my buddy Angus died. We all do. And there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s not like people are knocking on the Knox’s door asking them. If they don’t want to say, then fine. That’s their right. But people need to stop busting the balls of others who wonder how the kid died. Fact is - everyone wants to know.

Where did @Awwufelloffgo?? I thought this was his thread!

I was fortunate enough to see Omar Hakim as part of Sting’s band during his 1987 tour. RPI Field House in Troy, NY. Max. capacity about 5,000 and I distinctly remember the ticket (decent seat) costing $19. Branford Marsalis and Kenny Kirkland were also in the band. Phenomenal.

That is really interesting. I was always the exact opposite. The more people, the more relaxed and energized (if that makes sense) I always was. Glad you had a successful gig and got your name out there!!!

Up next: Petra Kvitova (21) - Monday, 9/5.

.... aaaaand there it is.

Hotel California is one of dozens of hits that made the Eagles rich. Most were written by Frey and/or Henley. If there was most-expendable original member, it was Felder. I will agree that they (original lineup) all seem(ed) like d!cks.

I cannot figure out how to do this parlay.

I've changed my mind. I'm going to make Beef on Weck and get some takeout wings.
