He won a bronze medal in Osaka WCh 2007 at 200m. I remember seeing him at some junior champs before that, he was quite hyped back then already but American media probably ignored him outright. I guess his height prevented him from being a lock for 100m so people could have been surprised by his 2008 OG results but I wasn't. Though I understand Americans don't care much about other nations in sports they're used to dominate like athletics. Tyson Gay was supposed to win the double in Beijing and he underperformed badly.

Will Cain is still there so they didn't fire him either?

I guess our luck stops here. Turkey will be clear SF favorites at home.

He was a 200m speciallist until 2007 tbh. What doesn't add up is the Carl Lewis story. I've read several reports IAAF doesn't want to touch the 1984 or 1988 doping file cause it would have blown the history books into the sky. Lewis is lucky Ben Johnson proved to be such an idiot. I still reckon Lewis is the biggest scam there ever was who got away with it and he was lucky it still happened during the 80s. I mean he failed multiple drug tests during the '88 US trials and they swept it under the rug. Unbelievable. The cover up only failed with BALCO & Marion Jones but only because it stretched beyond track & field and there was no way they could cover this up anymore.

I don't know that, I watch some of these clips on YT but mostly because of Stephen A. Smith who's like usually around Kellerman. What's the racist knock on him? If it was serious enough they'd have fired him though?

I'm a Raiders fan mainly because the only Polish player in the league was a part of that team for like 17 years This place is like the last place I'd expect to find a Chargers fan! They play like 16 away games and I bet they'll be second-tier in Inglewood too Good luck though, I actually hate Broncos the most. And Giants too. Can't stand the NY hoopla featuring god damn Giants & Knicks.

What is he? A failed skier? Sud-Tirol & tennis don't add up much So the last standing quartet in the women tournament are Serena and three players who never reached a GS semi-final before this summer

Kellerman's been saying Tom Brady fell off the cliff for three years and the Patriots made the Super Bowl all three years including two wins. Kellerman is a complete douchebag if you ask me. Wouldn't pay him to cut my lawn

Dak couldn't do anything before they traded for Cooper. He doesn't really make players around him better. The likes of Brady & Brees have worked with second-tier guys for years and put up numbers but Jerry had to bring Cooper to take their passing game off emergency. They will pay him and the one affected by all of this could be Byron Jones who walks in free agency after the season and they draft another DB high in 2020 draft. Of course they can franchise tag Jones too and delay the thing. Tyrone Crawford will almost certainly be gone after this season. Robert Quinn is basically a one-year rental anyway.

If this was WTA Berrettini would have somehow choked it away

They really have to get a first round bye in the playoffs to make a real run at SB.

Ezekiel Elliott becomes the highest-paid RB in the league (6 years/90 mil/50 mil guaranteed). Dallas Cowboys are Super Bowl or bust?

Well, he married aka wrecked Nicole Vaidisova's career which some people will never forgive him Well, they got married twice now, sadly Nicole's mentality was never her strong suit when she was playing. And she never played Maria Sharapova which would have been a marketing man's wet dream in the previous decade.

My guess is Stepanek was just a random sexoholic. He was too ugly to be called a playboy IMO

I'm quite into tennis and then-16yo Laura Robson gave a pretty clear indication about some of her female colleagues back in 2010 already. But she herself admitted she had a crush on Marat Safin too https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/tennis/7786192/Rising-British-tennis-star-Laura-Robson-describes-some-players-as-sluts.html

Kyrgios is definitely in the OFF part now Most of these tennis players are friends with benefits tbh but of course the biggest womanizer of them all Radek Stepanek has retired now

Hanevold was probably the best shooter on the tour back in the day. RIP.

It appears Berrettini has landed a better coup in Ajla Tomljanovic?

I'm not old enough to remember Montrea 1976 either but I remember Legien & Wronski from Seoul 1988. Barcelona 1992 of course had Korzeniowski DQ in the stadium gate but I most remember Skrzypaszek's modern pentathlon gold for whatever reason. Atlanta was nuts, we had 3 golds in GR wrestling plus Renata Mauer after the German choked the gold away in the last round IIRC.

Osaka bounced in R4 by Bencic. Meanwhile Julia Goerges has 21 aces and wins the W/UE battle vs Donna Vekic and still chokes the match away on a bad smash. Blew MP in 2nd set too. Epic WTA choke right there.

Poland won 7 golds at four different Olympics and historically the best is Montreal 1976 when we had 26 medals - second most only to the Moscow boycott so that one doesn't really count. For the post-communism era (also Soviet block collapse and all that) the best is Atlanta 1996 by far. The worst? Outside of the two post-war OG when Poland was still in the gutter, the worst must be 2004 Athens. Only 10 medals in total, our worst total since Melbourne 1956. But in Beijing, London & Rio we only won 11 medals total so it's nothing to write home about. Winter Games is much easier: best is 2014 Sochi, 4 golds & six total. Worst? Pick anything! Prior to Salt Lake City 2002 we've won medals at only three WOG - 1956, 1960 & 1972. The worst is probably Albertville 1992 - we had ONE top 10 finish all games - 8th in nordic combined

Poland wins 79-76 after one of the most inept OT ever

China with a 5 sec. violation! This game is really Shit of Shame!

Overtime

This is fucking insane... they can't fix the basket for 5 mins now.
