MikeO Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 22 minutes ago, Matt said: I'd love her biggest success to be that she remains humble with all the well deserved fame and glory. Pretty sure that's guaranteed listening to her. Really is the most remarkable rise I can think of ever, in any sport; there have been younger grand slam winners but they were all known more widely than she was (Becker winning Wimbledon unseeded at seventeen springs to mind), until Wimbledon nobody outside of tennis freak circles knew a thing about her. If it was a film it'd be dismissed as being totally ridiculous. Romey 1878 and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 Bryson DeChambeau being a dick (unsurprisingly), entering a long hitting contest and saying, "In golf, it's the one thing where you can judge your accomplishments by a number." Golf, uniquely among sports I think, has a par score for every hole so every round is judged by a number, man's an idiot.

The full back is clearly lining up a kick and rather than trying to block the kick he goes in for a very high tackle, almost head first. That is as pre-meditated as it comes and I know this having done a few like that myself!

MikeO Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 What a dick.. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58753492 ...and his maths needs work as well, "Certainly when you've had a baby, you're out nine to 10 months, then you'll take another six months to recover from your body, so therefore it's nearly two years." Leaving aside the fact that women can still be super-fit in the first few months of pregnancy so the "out for nine to ten months" being bollocks, ten months plus six is nowhere near two years.
