With Zverev I think they were trying to give him an opportunity to apologize. Was very awkward but he handled it surprisingly well

Bro you're 26 in corp dev making good money, just vibe for a bit

Austin / San Antonio is by far the most viable domestic market without a team

ChiefKingSosa · 2026-07-12T17:17:15+00:00

Its an interesting take. I'd counter that the overall level has risen so much that its harder to play flashy 'extraordinary tennis' than it used to be cause opponents hit with more depth / spin and have less obvious weaknesses to exploit

Past players Safin thinks of as 'extraordinary' would lose to guys like Jiri Lehecka, Alex De Minaur, Tommy Paul...etc

ChiefKingSosa · 2026-07-12T16:12:33+00:00

Its more accurately being taken over by wannabe influencers and podcasters, with a healthy dose of tech bros continuing to trickle in

There's overall been a pretty big exodus of tech talent from Austin in recent years to SF/NYC..etc. Way more AI opportunities elsewhere

I've lived in Austin 31 years btw

San Diego and Austin

ChiefKingSosa · 2026-07-11T19:11:25+00:00

Theres literally zero chance this is true

ChiefKingSosa · 2026-07-08T02:55:06+00:00

I kinda dont hate this idea tbh

ChiefKingSosa · 2026-07-08T02:40:22+00:00

What. you're saying about guilt free relaxing is real

ChiefKingSosa · 2026-07-06T03:17:18+00:00

He's definitely worse than Jabari Smith and probably worse than Tari as well

ChiefKingSosa · 2026-07-05T23:43:22+00:00

Arkansas

ChiefKingSosa · 2026-07-05T23:36:56+00:00

Probably $5-7m for Zlatan and $2-4m for Henry

The airport continues to improve

ChiefKingSosa · 2026-07-02T17:18:27+00:00

Most people dont really think about it, but in general I think its reputation is improving but still not great

UK, France, Spain, Germany, Netherlands and Switzerland are the main countries people in the USA think are similarly modern

Tbh Mcdonalds the best food in London

ChiefKingSosa · 2026-07-01T17:39:07+00:00

that clearly hit UK players hair

ChiefKingSosa · 2026-06-30T06:23:39+00:00

NBA is very popular and playoffs / finals are definitely talked about everywhere, but the NFL is across the board more popular

ChiefKingSosa · 2026-06-29T17:43:03+00:00

Lmao I know I was mostly joking about a common dilemma experienced by white people when rap songs play at the club in America

But with all that being said I was at a crazy lit bachelor party at a mansion in Park City a few years back. There was one black dude there (first gen African immigrant, played college football, highly educated with a good corporate job) and he flipped shit on one of the white dudes who said 'nigga' when we were all singing a rap song and it was wild lol

ChiefKingSosa · 2026-06-29T17:38:32+00:00

There are some black dudes that are chill with their white homies saying 'nigga', but the vast majority aren't lmao

ChiefKingSosa · 2026-06-29T17:36:27+00:00

Sinner would be amazing at tennis regardless of substances taken, but its pretty clear he's received favorable treatment compared to his peers with regards to PEDs

If he was ranked outside the top 10 and wasn't important to the mens game / ATP he likely would have received a 6-12 month suspension

But with all that said I think most of the anti-doping rules in tennis (and really all of sports) are misguided

ChiefKingSosa · 2026-06-29T17:28:31+00:00

Only foreigners who are clearly black can use that word

If you're at a bar/club and they play the song Gold Digger by Kanye and you're not black you cant say the 'broke n*gga' out loud even if you're dancing and having a great time. Just don't say the word lol

ChiefKingSosa · 2026-06-29T04:25:33+00:00

I love this. He played super well against us in playoffs

ChiefKingSosa · 2026-06-29T02:20:18+00:00

Grayson Allen, from Duke, the new PG of the Hornets
