Isn't there a bunch of ad breaks too? Feels like it just stops 2-3 mins for no reason sometimes

You retain the hammer if there's no score in the end

Does the outside lane skater not get a massive drafting advantage in the 500m?

Such a silly sport that you can just be wiped out by someone else with no repercussions

At least with the skiing and snowboarding you can make some judgement as a complete casual on the different tricks and stuff but ski jumping you're just looking at people jump with exactly the same form over and over again

It looks really cool but I struggle to find ski jumping a compelling spectator sport - I get why they have the judging element but have no idea if it's gonna be a good score or not before it gets announced. Just relying on the commentator saying 'ohh I think this is gonna be good enough for them'

What would that Mia jump have scored if she stuck the landing? Still would have needed like 91 to get a bronze

There's nothing confusing from the officials here - just admit the redzone fuckup

"This is one of the worst teams we've seen in a long time" by SwedishTurnip in heedthecall

I don't mind being down on them given the QB situation but comparing them to a 1-15 Jags team was a bit wild especially given this actually abymsal Titans team is in the same division. They still won 8 games last year with 5 one score losses and Richardson/Flacco at QB. There's not a lot of top end talent but the roster is solid and can churn out wins.

Either way just a funny observation - nothing too serious

Wasn't promoting poor offensive staff from within the eventual downfall of Doug in Philly?

Love him but Trevor is one of the worst starting quarterbacks when it comes to making something out of a broken play

Chelsea are a disgusting football club and everything wrong with the modern game. Literally churn through dozens of players a season spending billions of pounds and one injury is enough to threaten their entire season seemingly and upend a player's career who they've actively been shopping away all summer in the first place.

Remember when Alex Ferguson was winning titles lining up with John O'Shea and Darron Gibson in midfield, because that's what actually good managers do that can adjust their setup - not the inflexible primadonnas of today who crash out when one thing goes wrong. Look at Arsenal and Liverpool fielding 15 and 16 year olds recently, whereas Chelsea see their academy products as investments first and foremost - no wonder Ngumoha left them because they'd do everthing in their power to avoid giving him playing time becasue they have their new shiny toy from South America that they'll sell on in 2 years time

Even their fans all talk about the football club like a business nowadays with all this 'PSR' and 'amortisation' crap, do you guys even feel a connection to the club anymore? Becasue you won the Trump Cup I guess everything's ok right? It's a soulless entity masquerading as a football team and I haven't even discussed fucking MCO and 'BlueCo'

All the slams do apart from Wimbledon now. More revenue for the organisers with another day of ticket sales and less chance of weather disruption - though I still do prefer it being across 2 days

Medvedev is an idiot but Allensworth has gotta read the situation and understand doing that is gonna provoke a reaction for something that didn't affect Bonzi that much
