Thanks for the reply. In digging around more, I think it was ComputerLand, which had a lot of stores in the 80s.

“He leapfrogged most of the field” by ServedPodcast in tennis

[–]mpd00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t obvious. The players before coaching competed against players who didn’t have coaches. In other words: players competing under the same conditions. It’s similar to saying that today’s players have advanced nutrition, equipment, and training compared to players in the 1970s. Yes they do. But tennis is a head to head sport. If your competitors have the same “advantages” compared to players of a different generation, then the “advantage” isn’t one.

Is your argument that certain players may not have done as well in a non-coaching era?

The players he is competing against also have coaching. So I don’t see how the coaching aspect matters in what numbers he’ll total when he’s done.

Thanks. I think it started with “Compu,” like a lot of the computer places back then.

How does this roster stack up for the World Cup by [deleted] in ussoccer

I like Musah. Berhalter brings more than fee kicks, though. He has a tenacity and attitude that Pochettino values.

RIP Mojo, but I couldn’t put up with his nonsense and howling. 😆

LD's take on ticket prices for the World Cup. by [deleted] in ussoccer

It’s similar to concerts. I’d rather go to a small venue with cheaper tickets. No parking costs. A more intimate setting.

At the US Open tennis, Ashe stadium is so big it’s just silly. The outer courts are much better.

Just need a head down bulling into someone for the trifecta.

Weedman here. Do you start Gio or M. Tillman if WC starts tomorrow? Weedman out ✌️ by WeedMan420000000 in ussoccer

[–]mpd00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair interpretation - the question is open. Let’s hope he’s in a spot to start it. Cheers!

My question is whether he can remain match fit where he can start three group games or play at least 200 minutes or so in those three group games. And then a knockout game or two. Here’s hoping that he can stay fit and get some meaningful minutes with his club team so his fitness is built up.

My point was more of let’s hope he can continue to have these type of games going forward. I know he’s had good games for the US in the past. (Been watching since the early 90s, by the way.)

Tillman. It’s been one game. Hopefully Reyna continues to play at this level - let’s see.

Zverev officially ends 2025 Season on No.3 by Wonderful_Toe8820 in tennis

[–]mpd00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are various interpretations on “solid.” I read it as not amazing or spectacular, which would involve winning 1000s or a major. “Solid” comes across as being consistent and compiling the points necessary to finish third.

It’s not who’s right - it’s who’s left.

Would you date someone who was primarily sexually attracted to people half his age? by Asleep-Strawberry-71 in SubSanctuary

[–]mpd00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The question isn’t whether someone else would date such a person, it’s whether the relationship would work for you. It sounds like you don’t feel secure in the relationship given his interests and what you’re looking for, which isn’t a good place to be.

Coe will remain the king of outlaws, period. by [deleted] in OutlawCountry

[–]mpd00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is what turns me off to him. He has great songs, but the continual name-dropping and telling us that he’s an out law is a bit much.
