They look really good. But I have faith in our team. Especially if they can stay onside before scoring!

Awesome win in the Quarter Finals today, Megan Rapino smashing home the walk off, game winning penalty kick in extra time. One game away from a potential rematch with Sweden, who took a knee with the US team in their group stage victory. I guess woke politics are good for the Swedes? No, they won because they were faster, stronger, more aggressive and dominated the midfield. The US coach looked like a deer in headlights. Looking forward to a second crack. Just have to beat Canada.

She did! I don't think she'll appreciate being used for anyone's political narrative though.

have a beer for morning drinking!

Why are you so dense? Gymnastics isn't a team sport. Each athlete is competing against themselves. She didn't have her best stuff is the 1st round and the US finished 2nd. She came out and had a nearly catestrophic landing on her vault. It isn't football, you can't punch the Russians in the mouth and steal their floor excercise to get another chance at scoring. Once you lose points you can't medal. If there's a more apt sports analogy, it's like the Dodgers pulling their starting pitcher after the first inning of Game 6. Did he quit on his team? No, the Dodgers relief pitchers carried them to victory. I want to see you do a two and and half flip with two rotations off the vault and not break your neck. I disagree with your assessment.

So Bernie and AOC are anti-Suni Lee excellence. Got it.

Well then no one you know is a socialist.

Sorry for lumping you in with Irv... I still don't understand what wanting Suni Lee to have health insurance has to do not being able to celebrate her success?

Props to Poyer on getting sober. Hope he has the structure in place to maintain it... As far as Lorax goes, not surprised he was there for a teammate. I think the loss of his leadership and intensity was more significant to the overall performance of the D last year than we realize.

Suni Lee is amazing. I was so proud and happy for her. I don't understand the need to revile Simone Biles or use Suni to assert national supremacy.

Sobriety is all about personal responsibility. You should try it, you might stop shitin your pants.

You keep shitin your pants, huh?

You guys should consider sobriety.

Being the leader that Josh is, he may have already been vaccinated when he was initially asked about it and said that those conversations were going to be kept in house... I think the Beasley situation exceeded expectations. He reinforced his commitment to the team and dropped his "cut me I'm not going to follow the rules" schtick. When he sticks to the facts and expresses his concerns in a rational matter, there's no problem. He's allowed to have his opinion and bring to light issues that may effect the team.

yes please!

Of all the things Bease has said, his point on this is right. Vaccinated players need to be tested every day.

The only question it brings up for me, is what does McDermott do to become a better Head Coach? How does he learn from the past, and from the greats? He preaches becoming the best version of yourself, how does that apply to him as a Head Coach moving into a season where the Super Bowl is within sights?

I'd love for him to win that competition, and get more reps in the slot. We shall see. I have a good feeling about Stevenson too.

We signed a Brandon Powell to compete as a returner and drafted Stevenson who can fly. That's going to be a legitimate competition.

Part of me thinks he's going to push his "no restrictions" attitude inside the building when camp starts and will refuse to follow the rules setup for unvaccinated players during Training Camp. I hope not, but it wouldn't shock me.

For sure. Andre was clocked at 4.4 though. Moulds was a 4.52 guy. All of them could take the top off. Loved Reed's crossing passes to the house tho. He could do it all.

Dude needs to take his own advice and get off Twitter and focus on football.

That's a really stupid headline. 25 kids died of Covid in the UK. Before Covid, over 750 kids committed suicide per year.

To me, if you mixed Andre Reed and Eric Moulds you'd get Gabriel Davis. All three are 6'2". Davis is smooth like Reed, not quite as fast but 20 pounds bigger. He's strong like Moulds but not quite as big. Super bright future, and Davis had the best rookie season between the three.
