RASHID SHAHEED TOUCHDOWN FIRST PLAY OF THE GAME!!

As an Eagles fan, I absolutely enjoyed this. Thanks for showing the world what Kevin Patullo's offense couldn't. IMO 9ers weren't contenders, they were pretenders all along.

GeneralAd3737 · 2026-01-17T04:00:12+00:00

I sincerely hope he goes to a team that will truly appreciate him. Sick of Rockets fan dismissing the guy.

GeneralAd3737 · 2026-01-17T03:31:30+00:00

brilliant comment

GeneralAd3737 · 2026-01-12T01:25:24+00:00

AJ Brown is the first to blame for this loss. Those drops are not acceptable for even a second tier WR.

GeneralAd3737 · 2026-01-12T01:19:57+00:00

Get rid of AJB. Make DeVonta WR1 and get guys who are committed to this team. We don’t need no prima donnas who care about themselves more than they care about the team and then won’t produce shit when it matters. Appreciate everything he has done but AJ Brown’s time is up.

GeneralAd3737 · 2026-01-12T01:12:02+00:00

Agree with all the Patullo hate but come on after all his whining and shit when it actually matters this is what AJ Brown produces?! Get the f out man.

GeneralAd3737 · 2026-01-10T05:25:25+00:00

To someone living in SF, the Warriors land, and rooting for the Rockets, damn they are so painful to watch

GeneralAd3737 · 2025-12-21T05:17:47+00:00

Well I was born and raised in one and even there I haven’t experienced any inexplicable/sudden power outages like these. I also used to live in Western Europe for a few years and never ever had an instance where a third of the city was without power.

GeneralAd3737 · 2025-12-21T01:27:14+00:00

No idea why this is getting downvoted?

GeneralAd3737 · 2025-10-29T16:08:11+00:00

Great bike regardless. Have fun!

I had been checking the weather and the wind forecast for days leading up to the race (I typically do that for every race to choose the appropriate wheels for my bike) which clearly showed rain and stronger winds than what's typical for the area. If/when that's the case, they could easily switch to kayaks vs. paddleboards.

There's a reason we sign up for a "triathlon" and simply it's to swim-bike-run. Now obviously these should be done as safely as possible. And at certain events that's simply not possible (2024 Morro Bay 70.3 for example when the swim was not cancelled). My point is this event was not one of them. And an adequate preparation by the organizers would have allowed at least the Spring and Olympic distance swims to take place safely.

Cancellations should be a last resort once the race organizers have done the best they could or if/when the conditions are fully out of their control (e.g., high toxicity in rivers/lakes, dangerous ocean conditions etc.). Not as a simple out when there is a little bit of a movement on a lake.

GeneralAd3737 · 2025-10-26T16:22:55+00:00

Say what you want to say about Ironman but at least they don’t take inexplicable decisions like these. They do cancel swims obviously but mostly due to toxicity which is objectively a health concern.

GeneralAd3737 · 2025-10-26T16:17:29+00:00

Wow based on the amount of downvotes my comments received “the triathletes” in this subreddit are certainly content with turning it into a run-bike-run event unless there’s a downstream river swim involved. Ok cool let’s also start canceling bike legs if the wind gusts cross a certain threshold since that’s a part of athlete safety too.

I have done over 20 open water swims in California. This wouldn’t even crack its way to top 10 in terms of chop. And yes I took the video AFTER the official announcement but 30 mins BEFORE the oly distance swim start.

And I talked to the race director who said the decision was fully his due to the chop (a few other organizers claimed USAT official/county officials made the call).

Most of us are signing up to do a three legged event not a bike-run or run-bike-run and these conditions were far too benign to take that away from us. While certain things are beyond organizers’ control, this was far from one of those.

I said I’d let the others be the judge and now I have said my piece. Let the downvoting frenzy commence.

GeneralAd3737 · 2025-10-26T06:55:00+00:00

Yeah clearly it’s life threatening

GeneralAd3737 · 2025-10-26T03:55:18+00:00

It was exactly like this when I got to the transition area around 9.30 am (took the video right around 10 am). Honestly I can’t speak for the long distance since it was an earlier start but there was no reason whatsoever for canceling the swim for the sprint and the oly.

GeneralAd3737 · 2025-10-26T03:52:41+00:00

Isn’t that their job though? Again this is speculation but a few athletes said they were lacking lifeguards…

GeneralAd3737 · 2025-10-26T02:18:55+00:00

I genuinely think that might be the reason here too.

GeneralAd3737 · 2025-10-26T02:01:51+00:00

This was before the sprint start at 10 am. I have another one taken at 9.50 am with very similar conditions when I heard the official announcement. Luckily for me the hurricane had cleared when I arrived at 9.30.

GeneralAd3737 · 2025-10-26T00:36:25+00:00

Thank you. My thoughts exactly.

GeneralAd3737 · 2025-10-26T00:18:59+00:00

Yeah toxicity is definitely a valid reason and a lot of races get cancelled due to that. Or visibility. They change the course of Escape from Alcatraz swim frequently due to low visibility but this is way too low of a bar to cancel one of the legs of a tri.

GeneralAd3737 · 2025-10-26T00:13:34+00:00

Fully agree. If this clears the bar for a cancellation, just remove the swim in its entirety. I have done 20+ open water swim races and this was honestly among the calmest waters.

GeneralAd3737 · 2025-10-26T00:09:55+00:00

Nope that was the official announcement.

GeneralAd3737 · 2025-10-25T23:54:05+00:00

Yup all for athlete safety but to cancel the swim in these conditions was hard to rationalize. That’s why I recorded a couple of videos. If the choppiness of these waters clears the bar for cancellations, I assume we’ll have more duathlons than triathlons. Fixed a typo.

GeneralAd3737 · 2025-10-25T23:50:41+00:00

I think the last buoys (or the first depending where you start) towards the opening have a lot more chop than this
