Red Sox hit two Grand Slams in consecutive innings to even the ALCS at 1-1. Meanwhile Braves win 3-2 in the first NLCS game helped by Chris Taylor base-running error in the top of the 9th.

It will be Victoria Azarenka vs Paula Badosa in the Indian Wells final.

Nope, COTA was build specifically to provide a long-term US venue for F1. We'll have to see if Australia, Japan and Singapore actually take place. Especially Australia where covid lockdown measures are downright insane by this stage.

Dodgers beat Giants 2-1 in the Game 5 decider and advance to NLCS. Julio Urias only came in as reliever in the 3rd inning (most pundit & fans expected him to start) and Max Scherzer got the save after Cody Belinger drove in the go-ahead RBI in the top of the 9th.

The most difficult task for NFL players? Getting the jersey off after the game

Swedes announcing retirement out of the left field becomes a norm. Kajsa Kling, Maria Pietiae-Holmner were also fairly premature to say the very least.

Yeah, but FIS taking whatever excuse Norway comes up with shows clear intent. If they busted Johaug for the lipstick excuse then why completely ignore looking into Bjoergen's case? Imgaine if those were Russians. FIS would bend over backwards to dig into the case. The Symbicort Empire lives on!

Marit Bjoergen admitted in her autobiography she had a positive test for nandrolone in 2017 but FIS turned a blind eye And you wonder why nobody outside Norway gives a fuck about cross country anymore. https://www.world-today-news.com/bjoergen-used-a-forbidden-measure-the-reaction-of-the-fis-surprised-everyone/

Mass murder using bow & arrow... in 2021? So Norway went from Breivik to medieval methods now? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-58906165

Before Jabeur only one Arab woman made WTA Top 100 - Selima Sfar. Mayar Sherif has since joined them as the third one. Unlike ATP, Morocco hasn't produced any noteworthy female players over the years (they seemingly have Tunisia instead). Amanda Coetzer (CH #3) is the highest ranked female player from Africa ever (in singles). There were more in doubles (Ilana Kloss, Liezel Huber and Cara Black were all #1 in doubles).

Poland hangs on to win 1-0. If we beat Andorra in the next game (kinda probable) then Albania would have to beat England on the road to prevent us from securing 2nd place with one game left after that.

Albania vs Poland (0:1) has been resumed in the 78th minute.

Poland scored in 77th minute. Albanian fans started throwing bottles on the pitch and the match is suspended.

Well, Top 5 for Sakkari would really be crazy given she's won a grand total of 1 WTA title so far. She's not that good but WTA is a mess right now anyway. Beatriz Haddad Maia bounced #1 seed Karolina Pliskova just minutes ago. Haddad Maia is back after doping suspension and profited from LL spot in MD. And she's into R4 of Indian Wells! Defending 2019 champion Bianca Andreescu is out after losing to Anett Kontaveit. The fall from grace continues and Andreescu's 2019 season appears to be a complete flash in the pan.

I still remember Osrblie hosting World Cup in the 1990s. The Duszniki-Zdroj venue is undergoing an ownwership change which for some reason resulted in the IBU Cup calendar drop.

Commonwealth Games have cut down mandatory events from sixteen to two: athletics & swimming. Another sign how this event is basically expendable in modern era. They can always go with "urban" events for kids and e-sports for teenagers? https://www.bbc.com/sport/commonwealth-games/58870657

Your are stuck in recency bias tunnel vision. You really believe the IOC heat rules will stay there forever? Or NBC will ban SOG from being held in November forever too? Whoa! I don't have anything to add here.

Tyson Fury knocked out Deontay Wilder to finish the trilogy

Oh yeah, because desert heat is mystic knowledge for anyone? Of course I know about the heat but this excuse to prevent Qatar from staging SOG will eventually be overcome by money. IOC is ALL about the money so they will eventually give in. The question is when? 2052? 2060? Who knows? World will probably look very different in 30 years from now.

If Beijing can host the Winter Games then Doha can host the Summer Games too. It's only a matter of time. Let's don't forget Moscow 1980 remains the hottest SOG ever

Hamilton will take a 10-place grid penalty in Turkey. Red Bull appears to be way off in practice so far. Meanwhile Michael Andretti seems to be serious with the Sauber/Alfa Romeo buyout which would bring Colton Herta to F1. https://racer.com/2021/10/08/andretti-set-for-further-sauber-f1-takeover-talks-in-austin/

Yeah, the honeymoon is over. Raducanu has a target on her back and no longer can play the underdog card. Btw, Sasnovich only has three Top 50 wins all season (vs injured Serena Williams at Wimbledon, vs Podoroska at Cleveland and now vs Raducanu in Indian Wells).

Russell Wilson suffered a finger injury in a loss vs Rams and could miss over a month. This probably means Seahawks (2-3) season is basically over.

Astros spanked White Sox at home twice alrready while Chris Sale gave up five runs in the 1st inning vs Rays but Red Sox came back to win 14-6 ti even the series.

Well, her last season was pretty bad already. Guess she figured out she's got no chance to win the gold so why bother.
