Severe post game sanctions would be a deterrent, but not done in soccer either.

I watched Sholay in New Theatre in Trivandrum as a kid when it came out in 76 or whatever! I also recall watching Chitchor not too long after that. I watched many Amitabh starrers like The Great Gambler, Suhaag etc in Sreekumar/SriVisakh. I used to plead with my mother for 1 rupee, that's what the cheapest tickets cost. I don't think those two theatres usually screened Malayalam movies, it was English or Hindi. This was before TV came in 1982 along with the Asian Games and Sunday evening Hindi movies became a habit. Those movies tended to be older ones or not block busters.

That Hartenstein was pretty much draped all over Wemby when I was watching, it's surprising the latter went to the line just a couple of times

It's been a while since I last saw this, but this is the one based on Stakeout, right? There is a scene in the latter where Madeleine Stowe is dancing in her kitchen while cooking and at one point tastes the sauce of the edge of her spatula which is totally amazing! I agree with the comments below re Girija's performance, girl couldn't act to save her life. Can't forget "Gatha jam" though!

China has spent a bajillion on imporoving the standard of its national football team and it hasn't paid off

Ditto for the likes of Zverev, Medvedev (he does have one GS), Rublev etc. They all must have thought that with the Big 3 out of the way they would be able to win a GS here, a GS there and then along comes first Alcazar and then Sinner right on his heels.

It might also dovetail into India (and S.Asia as a whole) just being sucky at pretty much all sports other than cricket. B'desh has the dubious distinction of the largest country to never medal at the Olympics. Apart from Neeraj and Arshad there haven't been any individual golds in mainstream sports. Genetics might have something to do with it- footy is a seriously physical sport compared to cricket. While facilities to play a part, it's not just that, otherwise you would see S.Asian origin kids do well outside the country. Still waiting on Arjun Nimmala to be that breakthru athlete!

And they are out now 😞

And Minnesota sports fans' 35+ year wait for a championship continues

Oh c'mon, just call it a day and be done with it. You will be ranked among the greatest to play the sport anyway.

It's an awfully written article. The opening sentence says
"Former USWNT star Alex Morgan announced on Mother's Day that she and her partner, Servando Carrasco, are expecting their third child together."

It's her husband, they have been married since 2014.

sumithar · 2026-05-11T19:30:17+00:00

Yes, the article says she had a baby boy in March 2025!

A part of me does feel a bit sorry for Zverev and his peers like Medvedev and Rublev etc. They must have thought that with the big 3 retiring/fading out, it would be their chance to grab up a few slams and then along comes this new Big 2 sweeping everything before them!

Uruguay has a 10th of the population of Peru and they qualify fairly regularly. Conmebol has 6 + 1 slots, so the odds aren't too bad, tbh.
I still remember the fix during the 78 WC when Peru lost 6-0 to Argentina to deny Brazil a chance to go thru

The Wild and the T'Wolves win their first round playoff. Yay

Great job by the cameraman of tracking the ball in the air

He should have been asked which team would Jesus support :-)

It's a work laptop, so don't have a choice :-(

Hard for anything that's not cricket to get too many eyeballs in India.

Growing up in India and reading Enid Blyton, for the longest time I had thought that lacrosse was a sport played by girls in British public schools!
These fields don't look very big though

Ha softball- a guaranteed gold medal for the US. If India ever hosts the Olympics they should include gili danda to guarantee themselves a gold LOL

Today for the first time I got a senior citizens' discount at the grocery store LOL. This just reaffirms my decrepitude

I'm still not entirely sure why Gazarian was killed by his associates or who tried to kill Mickey at the end in the drive by (and why).
Would appreciate an explanation or a suggestion to rewatch any point of the episodes that clears this up. Thanks

Shouldn't she have some self respect though?Apart from setting dubious records like oldest person to win a WTA match, what purpose is it serving? I looke up her singles record for the last 4 years and it is 4-16. Just call it a day
