Brenda Fruhvirtova came from 5-7 1-5 down to beat Daria Snigur 5-7 7-6(3) 6-3 in Q2  

Most players don't come back from a set & 1-5 down in their entire careers and this girl does it at 15 years old

Vlhova wins in Flachau. Sadly Ljutic straddled a gate in the 2nd run but she can't be far off that maiden podium.

Zrinka Ljutic in 3rd place after Flachau 1st run.

Let's hope it doesn't rain too much in summer of 2028 or else this will be an all-time joke.

SoFi Stadium build for 4 billion dollars requires a mop because the wind blew the rain inside the domed stadium during the college football final tonight

6-year old boy intentionally shot his teacher but she survived. USA is truly a progressive country like no other. And they are still afraid to stike down the 2nd Amendment from 18th century

Brenda Fruhvirtova (age 15) takes her first GS qualifying win over Natalija Stevanovic 6-0 7-6(0) in AO Q1.

Fajdek is an arrogant buffoon and people simply don't like him. Hell, even my mother dislikes him

Like that story from Beijing World Champs when he got drunk and left the gold medal in a taxi cab. I know it was supposed to be funny but he also came around like a complete idiot.

Speedway is obviously overhyped, it seems like everyone who follows the sport votes for him regardless of club alliance.

Arizona Cardinals GM Steve Keim & HC Kliff Kingsbury have been fired. This franchise is stuck with QB Kyler Murray who seems more interested in 'Call of Duty' video games and will come off a torn ACL next season. Whomever takes the HC job will have an impossible task to make this thing work. If they promote DC Vance Joseph then it will be a complete waste anyway.

I mean if you get rid of fencing then modern pentathlon IS triathlon. This is some crazy joke. Let's don't waste time on this laser shooting thing because it's a total blip on the radar at this stage. I'm amazed IOC hasn't killed this sport off yet to make room for more break dancing events.

Wild card schedule. Not surprised Buck & Aikman on ESPN get their Brady vs Cowboys match-up

I suppose Kraken are the new whipping boys in Seattle

Yeah, Geno will get crushed by Niners but really happy for Lions even in moral victory. They could have something cooking and next season could be their playoff return. Dan Campbell has outlasted all the usual ra-ra coaches by a long mile.

Hossein Vafaei beat Mark Selby 6-2 in the first round of Masters. I wonder if he's any popular back home given his rise up the snooker ranks in the last 18-24 months? @MHSN

Jon Rahm wins the Tournament of Champions in Hawaii by two shots over Collin Morikawa.

Morikawa led by 6 shots after three rounds and led Rahm by 9(!) shots after the 1st hole of the final round but collapsed on the back nine.

I read this is only the 9th time a leader has blown a six shot final round lead in PGA history

Miami Dolphins beat NY Jets 11-6 and make the #7 seed in AFC. They have no chance vs Bills if Tua can't come back though.

Houston Texans beat Indianapolis Colts 32-31 after Lovie Smith went for 2 pt conversion with 50 seconds left. Therefore Chicago Bears get #1 draft pick and this opens the door for some trading. I assume Lovie will be fired after the season so that was some trolling to potentially cost them a shot at Bryce Young if Bears do trade away that #1 pick

lol how on earth does Serbia win the women's category, they didn't even win gold at the nations league (the other major event in 2022). While Canada's hockey team won gold at the Olympics AND World Championships, the only team in history to do that.

Women's ice hockey is a two team race since forever. Even women's volleyball is more competitive than the annual Canada vs USA series

Nations League used some reserve rosters like mentioned above.

It was predictable Titans offense will be a slow burner and Dobbs did pretty well until the two late fumbles considering this was only his second career start. Lawrence missed a wide open TD to make it 14-13 and it was perhaps better he didn't have to drive for a TD to win the game because that could have ended either way

Naomi Osaka has withdrawn from Australian Open. Part-time player doesn't even give a damn about hard courts anymore

Jacksonville Jaguars beat Tennessee Titans 20-16 and win the AFC South. They will host either Chargers or Ravens in the wild card round.

Valerie Grenier wins! Fastest 2nd run too.

Can't remember last won women's GS?

Vlhova looked to have a shot at winning but Bassino still 0.03 faster.

Oeberg 20/20 and Wierer 19/20 should be 1-2 finish.
