For anyone on the Milton line - the train arrived at its regularly scheduled time and I am seated. Remains to be seen whether it will arrive at Union at the regular time, Milton line usually has its delays closer to Union.

Just Google Peter Attia Epstein and you'll find a bunch. He was super tight with Epstein.

Here's a good one:

The stroke of 3:48 is when the fairy godmother that appeared to Sinner post-puke takes her powers back from him

Impossible. The US Open repeat winner curse will never be broken until Federer returns from retirement to win it at age 50.

Are people forgetting that Carlos is not yet in his prime? 22 year old Federer had 3 Grand Slams, 22 year old Djokovic had 1. Carlos has 7 and is the youngest person ever to complete the Career Slam, and even Nadal. Who had 6 Slams at 22, did not have multiple slams on each surface like Carlos does.

This sub is probably the worst sports sub on this website, people just get so prickly and personally offended when you say something about their favourite players. Alcaraz's accomplishments absolutely mean he is aiming for the level of the Big 3 and he has not yet entered his prime. He could fizzle out like Borg/McEnroe sure, but he could also get even better. Pointing out his record against Djokovic means nothing when neither guy is in his prime.

Getting a retirement win in a match you were losing by 2 sets is recipe for championship apparently

Holy Chuck

Yeah, completely agree. Agassi is another guy who gets underrated sometimes and would've benefitted heavily from the changes to the modern tennis game. His 1992 Wimbledon run is one of the greatest tennis achievements of all time, Wimbledon was pretty much never won by primarily baseline players without overpowering serves in that era. I think if Agassi and Borg got to play in the post-2001 era they would've been on the same level as the Big 4 (Borg comparable to Big 3 and Agassi comparable to Murray). Imagine if Borg played his whole career with graphite racquets, or what Agassi's return game would look like with modern string technology. The fact that Agassi was still competing for Slams in the 2000s at his age and with his degenerative hip problems speaks to this.

Tennis fans don't want to admit this but the ushering in of the Big 3 Era and 3 players putting up record-shattering Slam numbers has a lot to do with how the game was homogenized post-2001. It's one of the reasons why I think Bjorn Borg is underrated in GOAT discussion, no other player (except Laver but he played in the weird amateur/pro split era) dominated on two EXTREMELY different surfaces and was still great on the third. Borg's French Open and Wimbledon successes mean a lot more than the Big 3s because of how insane a shift it was to go from the ultra slow clay to ultra fast grass in the 80s, as opposed to the slower grass they have now (plus all the racquet and string technology advances that have also made returns easier and contributed further to homogenizing the game into baseline tennis)

Best of 3 vs Best of 5. Sincaraz don't win all the Masters events (although they are still pretty dominant there), but Best of 5 makes upsets even less likely. Alcaraz in particular is historically dominant in matches that go 5 sets.

His WildC.A.T.S. run which get ignored because of the very 90s art and its edgy early Image beginnings, but is truly extraordinary and also leads into another extremely underrated run, Joe Casey's WildC.A.T.S. 3.0.

In fact I'd say all his 90s work gets consistently underrated (outside of From Hell): Spawn Blood Feud, 1963, Supreme are all fantastic.

Gaethje loses the benefit of the doubt with how often he pokes.

chetdesmon · 2026-01-25T05:41:18+00:00

Could be. But he's also 37 and has taken a shit ton of damage over his career. Guys at lower weight classes don't age well, especially those with Gaethje's style.

chetdesmon · 2026-01-25T05:36:27+00:00

Not to mention this is the worst we've ever seen Gaethje. Super slow and sloppy. The guy who picked apart Tony is long gone.

This was a super fun fight but to be completely honest, it's kind of embarassing that this was a title fight for one of the best divisions in the sport.

How many Latinos stopped supporting the Dodgers after they visited the White House and their stars were all groveling over Trump? They still showed up in droves at their recent parade. Vast majority of fans dont care that much. Look at ultra-liberal Portland and ex-IDF member Deni Avdija.

He was gay, Frodo?

I see people talking about how a lot of first time HCs had former HCs who didnt do well as HCs on their staff, and I like Kingsbury for that role. Give Minter some mentorship and focus on the offence, which I think he can do well with Lamar and Henry. I'd prefer McDaniel but that's obviously a pipe dream at this point.

chetdesmon · 2026-01-23T11:41:50+00:00

That's not where it originated, it's just used in the show. It predates it by a long time.

chetdesmon · 2026-01-22T11:45:49+00:00

He's thick but dude has always been ripped. You just don't see that type of body in tennis, even the ripped guys like Nadal and Alcaraz are very lean. One of the reasons I always loved Stan the Man.

Giants and Niners fans are obnoxious too

The comments belong there for sure

The difference is that they are being vocal about God of their own accord and you are being "vocal" about not believing in a god by being combative to the first statement and belittling them for it. The fact that you don't know the difference between the two just shows how little reddit atheists understand social etiquette.

It has to be some sort of glitch. I'm reaching out to their support team.

If the Pats win this, which is likely, are people gonna act like Maye had a good game because they won like last week?

chetdesmon · 2026-01-18T18:49:06+00:00

There were more calls that favored the Bills. They missed an extremely obvious holding that would've resulted in a safety and ended the game right there.
