- Carl Lewis: "Every Olympics is ready, I don't care whatever he [Romney] said. I swear, sometimes I think some Americans shouldn't leave the country. Are you kidding me, stay home if you don't know what to say." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/romneyshambles-some-americans-just-shouldnt-leave-the-country-says-carl-lewis-7981698.html 14 comments politics
- [Janes] Mike Elias just spoke for 20 minutes about the decision to denote Holliday. I found him remarkable candid about how hard it can be for people in his position to know when a kid is ready. https://x.com/chelsea_janes/status/1783954887757222322?s=46 141 comments baseball
- Medusa on seeing AEW women not training: “We’re getting ready to start, and I'm like where's everybody, and Dustin’s like ‘It's voluntary,’ and I'm like so it's fucking free, you got Dustin Rhodes training the girls, where are they why aren't they here, and he's like, ‘It's the kids you know.’” https://wrestlingnews.co/aew-news/madusa-recalls-aew-female-wrestlers-refusing-to-attend-training-sessions 107 comments squaredcircle

- [Pelissero] With the #Jets job off the table, Mike McCarthy told me he’s sitting out this season — and his wife and kids started cheering at dinner when he told them. “Family excited about dad at home for 2019. That’s all that matters as we both know.” He’ll prepare and be ready for 2020. https://twitter.com/tompelissero/status/1083178426641641472?s=21 367 comments nfl
