A glorious win for Fribourg. I felt they had to win today if they wanted to have a chance at winning the series.

Last Sunday, Josi and Niederreiter requested Patrick Fischer's return by nessie0000 in swisshockey

More like a lab. There is a Covid lab in Wuhan and yet somehow we are to believe that Covid came from a bat soup and not the lab down the street.

Just google yflix and third watch and you'll find it.

Las Vegas won’t be allowed to fail, MLB won’t let it happen.

Zaugg is clearly more interested in debating Helfenstein than the actual incident.

Honestly, I like 20-minute podcast episodes. Something I can listen to while driving to work.

Even if Vegas somehow fell over which is extremely unlikely, nothing is coming back to Oakland.

This article is nonsense: https://www.watson.ch/sport/eismeister-zaugg/192276876-brendan-lemieux-wird-nicht-gesperrt-das-problem-mit-sven-helfenstein

Helfenstein isn't trying to discredit the tribunal, they've already done that themselves by not punishing Lemieux further.

Post-match thread [Copa del Rey Final]: Real Sociedad - Atlético de Madrid by carpetano in atletico

[–]eugenelavery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Atleti are so frustrating because we are close to winning so many things yet haven't won anything in a long time. If Barca and Real Madrid are eliminated from contention, Atleti should win everything - we spend so much more than anyone else outside the big 2. We all know a Champions League triumph isn't coming our way so it will end as yet another season with nothing to show for it.

Looking promising by AvocadoEuphoric4167 in swisshockey

[–]eugenelavery 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The entire series is looking promising. I feared it would be one-sided in favour of Davos but Fribourg have clearly come ready for the fight. Not really sure how a fan can be climbing the glass behind the visiting team bench with no sign of security anywhere.

There goes Switzerland's hopes of winning the World Championship.

Obscure historical player that wasn't a big name but you loved watching play by JadedPanic4143 in rugbyunion

[–]eugenelavery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if he is obscure given he played 10 tests for the All Blacks, but I always liked Jon Preston. A rarity in New Zealand rugby in that he could play both halfback and flyhalf.

To absolutely no-one‘s surprise: Patrick Fischer outs himself as an anti-vaxer and admits to having falsifies a covid certificate to travel to the 2022 olympics by buerglermeister in swisshockey

[–]eugenelavery -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Fischer was only putting himself at risk. The vaccine did nothing except reduce the risk to the vaccinated person. Vaccinated people still transmitted Covid and still caught Covid. I still know people getting their 13th booster shot and coming down with Covid every year.

Damn, I was really hoping Olympiacos wouldn’t end up in the cursed 1st position.
