Jon Gruden will probably blow up the Raiders season in mid-October. Trading Khalil Mack remains an option? Gonna cheer for the Seahawks too now that old man Janikowski has found a new home! And as usual, fuck the Giants AND Broncos! Btw, ESPN won't broadcast the anthem on MNF. Pussy move!

Muchova is an ITF mainstay, she's 22 already. Muguruza's dismal year gets crowned with a proper icing on the cake.

And Murray goes out. Good. No more BBC hype.

Anderson is Isner 2.0. He'll never win a GS, he'd have a better chance in the 90s with the faster surfaces.

Nothing to be happy about. The grandma needs to go!

Monique Adamczak is on the tour for a while just like Olivia Rogowska I've never heard of Krawczyk before, probably some ITF/NCAA scrub.

Uber shit show from Sharapova & Schnyder Schynder hit her first winner at 2-5 down in the second set. Sharapova tried to make it exciting with a ton of errors where she should have closed it out with ease. Cirstea next

We had similar issues in the women's team a while back but two Olympic medals calmed the storm until it all went downhill since 2016. In the men's team Konrad Niedzwiedzki trained in the Netherlands for years but nobody objected since we didn't have indoor arena in Poland until last year and even Szymanski said in 2015 the Polish rinks "are trash" so nobody should expect any medals (that was after the team bronze in Sochi). Thankfully we know how far back we are when it comes to venues and the rift in the women's team was a classic case of too much female ego. When women begin to argue then it's much worse then the men All this being said, Sochi was our high-water mark and we're back to sqaure one these days. Maybe Karolina Bosiek turns into a solid Top 10 competitor but that's just about it.

She basically matches Jelena Jankovic's career - including a nose-dive in the rankings. She doesn't have Wozniacki's athleticism so I suspect she might only continue for 2 more years or when her ranking drops so low she'll have to play qualies just to get into MM tournaments.

Speaking of Romania... Meanwhile Farshad Ahmadzadeh became the first player from to score a goal in Polish Ekstraklasa. It surely helps he's the first Iranian to actually play in our top league

That's probably bc everyone thought Stephanie Vogt made the GS MD at least once I'm in fact surprised she never did.

Lisa Carrington's dominance is over? Btw, Dorota Borowska only started canoeing 5 years ago at age 17 so it's quite an achievement for her to get a medal here!

Hah! It's been always like that since WWII ended but nobody paid any attention to us until now Hitler, Stalin & Roosevelt ended all the multi-nationalism in Poland and we're not going back there anymore.

Politics is run by money these days anyway. Even the communists are flooding the global market with it. But I'm cool... Poland ain't building any new mosques anytime soon.

Perhaps thankfully we're dealing with economical wars in the XXI century. Just look at the tarriff stand-off between China and USA. Communism is largely dead in Europe and most modern day wars have started due to ideology and economical differences. Islam is the last ideology which can wager on a new global war IMO.

Hmm... living in Argentina makes it all look oh-so easy, right? South America is probably the last continent that has to worry about Islam tbh. Poland only escaped the Soviet occupation 30 years ago, we're not exactly thrilled to see these Muslim immigrants now. Let the colonial powers pay their own debts first.

Well, Iran went from skirts & jeans to hijabs. Hardly a liberal way of order. This can easily happen in Europe too come the next century

Yes, but I've heard about the other three before so I suspect it's public knowledge already, Had no clue about Whiting though.

The women's 400m race: https://twitter.com/M1ZKA/status/1032317784833908736 Mens 100m results:

Christian Taylor - the triple-jumper - just finished 3rd in the 400m Hurdles Steven Gardiner wins in 44,43 (only 0,02 slower than his silver medal winning run from London last year).

Tomasz Majewski said that Ryan Whiting will retire at the end of the season. That's odd, he will only turn 32 in November.

Caster Semenya wins 400m in 50,06 2. Swiety-Ersetic 51,45.

100m: Ronnie Baker 9,87 WL (-0,1 wind) 2. Mike Rodgers, 3. Guliyev.
