[RaceFans] Oscar Piastri: “Obviously [at Silverstone] we made a wrong call. In Imola we had an issue in qualifying with traffic. In Austria – the less said about qualifying in Austria the better. I guess it’s a good thing it’s not been repeated error or mistake." https://x.com/racefansdotnet/status/1813917661128241290 35 comments 18/7/2024 formula1
Slaven Bilic delights in dire Premier League predictions for West Brom: “You can’t get a bigger positive than that, that’s great! I don’t mean it’s an excuse or an alibi and things can only get better. I mean: ‘let’s show them that they are all wrong’. We have an even bigger motivation now.” https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/sep/11/slaven-bilic-west-brom-premier-league?cmp=share_btn_tw 26 comments 11/9/2020 soccer

[Cam Heyward] “Everybody likes to say ‘Mitch did this wrong, Mitch did that wrong.’ Man, Mitch does a lot of things right. Hopefully I think we have a better team around him and we’re here to support him.” (timestamp ~37:30) https://youtu.be/h4YuPSq3GKQ 71 comments 14/7/2022 nfl

[SI]- "Several sources say that it's devolved into a competition over who can call the better play, and both want the credit when things go right."

[Heyman] Machado told other teams that 1 thing he didn’t like about the Dodgers was being on the West Coast. Again, nothing wrong with selecting the team based on the deal — and 300M is a big deal — but hopefully he likes it better this time. https://twitter.com/jonheyman/status/1098029308994560000?s=21 19 comments 20/2/2019 baseball
Why fight in Libya when we don't in,say, Burma? Shadi Hamid:"This is the argument I find the most difficult to wrap my head around. Doing nothing in two countries does not justify doing nothing in a third.
