New York Jets beat Green Bay Packers 27-10 at Lambeau. It seems like they are really turning a corner while Packers have finally run into a wall. HC Matt LaFleur will be under major heat this season.

Baltimore Ravens blew another double-digit lead and lost to New York Giants who are also exceeding expectations this season so far.

Another week, another Iga Świątek final - this time in San Diego. Due to rain the second SF will be finished today.

Well, she won't play in Guadalajara next week though

Nordic Combined itself has become kinda unpopular and it's reduced to a second-rate sport these days. However the American NC has totally regressed compared to the 90s and 00s. Is Steamboat Springs still operational? Geraghty-Moats would be better off trying in freestyle skiing. This is where USA finds it's winter sport niche in XXI century outside of alpine skiing.

Good thing I'm not a Dodgers fan. Epic collapse from the bullpen in the 7th. And Josh Hader struck out the top of their line-up (Betts, T. Turner & Freeman) on just 10 pitches for the save   The Astros must like this NLCS match-up

Philadelphia Phillies is the first team to make the Championship Series as they beat the defending champions Atlanta Braves 3-1. Braves got some very poor pitching in first two games from Max Fried and Spencer Strider (so much for the moustache hype) and Charlie Morton allowed a 3-run HR to Brandon frickin' Marsh tonight to open the floodgates.

San Diego Padres can also wrap the NLDS series over the favored Dodgers if they win at home later tonight (somehow I feel that won't happen).

Andreja Slokar out for the season with a knee injury.

Geraghty-Moats is trying in her third sport now? I wonder what will be the fourth? Bobsleigh?

More brainwashed comments about those "insulted" Russians. Yeah, funny what happens when the attacked people fight back, huh? Putin thought the war would be over after 8 days and he's created his own Afghanistan disaster instead

They have to hold on otherwise they’d all be fired.

Ain't they all dead people walking at this stage anyway? Starmer appears to be a less polarising figure than Corbyn so all Labour needs is to lay low and watch Tory implode in the next two years?

So Kwasi Kwarteng has been fired as chncellor after a month in office and now Tory admit some UK taxes will rise after all

@GrassmarketI suppose the next elections will be moved forward since I can't believe this mess will be tolerated for two more years?

I watched every SOG since 1988 and well, due to youth usually being romanticized by default I pick Atlanta 1996 and Sydney 2000 And yes, Atlanta had GR wrestling in the first week together with judo so Poland led the medal table after two days

Only two people bet against Italy in SF? And one of them was an Italian?

Well, it maybe looks like Jeremy Sochan will be in starting five for the Spurs.

Bringing back ? I said no military base is peaceful russian or maldivian ...trade of  dirty money is behind this green uniform 

Poland has been fighting wars with Russia since more or less 15th century. You're not fooling anyone in Poland with "peaceful Russia" comments

Nato is not better either ,there is no peaceful military bases ...they spy on everything and mostly they protect the transoprtation of drogs between countries 

Well, sorry to disappoint you. Bringing back Russian military bases to Poland would be like bringing back French colonial rule in Algeria. How many Algerians actually wants that?

bullshit because Nato is earning for you 

This organization is dangerous for not members countries , the rest of world should react , only Russia did 

Poland had Soviet military bases for 46 years after WWII and NOBODY, I mean, NOBODY misses them here. We'll take NATO bases over Russia any given day

Some Latin Democrats from LA city council were busted for racist remarks and swiftly resigned from office I assume that is their political careers over.

That is some straight up bullshit  

Czech Republic bans entry to Russian tourists (and athletes) from October 25th. They waited until the recent WTA 500 Ostrava tournament ended but still...

Meanwhile Rangers go 1-7 down to Liverpool at home

Kamalpreet Kaur (6th place in OG discus) banned for three years for stanozolol.

@Monzanatoris it a funding issue, personalities, what seems to be the problem?

Kowalczyk came into biathlon after Zbigniew Waskiewicz was voted as the President of the PZB in 2020. However he didn't receive a vote of confidence in June 2022 and Joanna Badacz was voted as the new President one month later. She is basically a puppet of former head coach/sporting director Adam Kolodziejczyk who is now a member of the board. Nothing associated with Kolodziejczyk is any good at this stage. It wasn't any good for years before. Sadly biathlon suffers from lack of fresh blood - like many winter sports - and there's no way to get rid of this guy once and for all. The new board also prevented Darya Dolidovich from training with the Polish national team. That was the straw that broke the camel's back for Kowalczyk.

Justyna Kowalczyk has resigned from her post as PZB sporting director. Three coaches (including Alexander Veretelny) have also resigned. Don't expect anything positive from Polish biathlon in the upcoming decade.

To make matters worse Magdalena Gwizdon literally had the best course time during the roller skating national championships sprint few days ago
