And what an attempt!

Mondo!

Oh, the classic

Every member of the Norwegian team is not asthmatic (at least not openly from what I know). That is in fact the most problematic thing, that Norway has a tradition of using it, even on (usually) healthy athletes with some temporary ailments. But I really think you're oversimplyfying things (I feel it's not the first time that I've thought so ). It is in no way unusual to get asthma as an elite athletes. We would see a massive decrease in athletes in most endurance sports and even a sport like swimming (where chlorine most likely doesn't help) if we suddently banned all asthma medicine.

Never too early to prepare. The stages for the TDF Grand Depart 2021 is out https://letourcph.dk/

If you're talking about Fuglsang... Caught? They've investigated him (and may very well still be investigating) but haven't had the proof to start an actual case. Not saying that he couldn't have been doped, but so far he's innocent. It's not like we don't have any doping in Scandinavia, but we don't have more or less state sponsored doping like what has been caught in Russia. BTW you don't really have to look for long before you see that especially a lot of Swedes don't really trust Norwegian skiing

You were slow!

Not so tough to find https://49er.org/event/2020-world-championship/#49erresults

He's all in on super tuesday and it will be interesting to see how it works out. You could always discuss how important they are (and it may also be very different), but it has been the kickstart of some winning campaigns throughout time, and especially Iowa is seen by many pundits up there ranking just below super tuesday as it can create a major buff. But well. History is one thing. We can't predict what will happen and what it will cause. But Bloomberg not focusing on those states could just as much be a matter of realisation. He entered at a point where other candidates had already met a ton of Iowans, meaning that he would be behind from the start. By dropping those 4 states (Nevada and South Carolina as well), he has more time touring the next states (and posting millions into ads). It's not the first time somebody tries with this strategy (Giuliani did pretty much the same in 2008 though he was on the earlier ballots), but it's hard to say.

That's where I felt sad for Slash instead Wouldn't mind Metallica at all

WHAT? That was the very worst in my opinion (And it was more Black Eyed Peas ) . Vocals were not good at all and man was I sad that they felt like punishing Slash by being a part of it. Sadly other than Katy Perry, I seem to almost only remember the bad stuff for the last 10 years. A lot of forgettable shows, though it's without doubt a matter of taste.

Haven't been through them all yet, but I really enjoyed the jeep commercial (but then again, I just love Groundhog Day )

Danish TV figures are at 89k. That's low. But people streaming should take it up to about 100k, I believe.

My bad. Did of course mean last year's Chl

But where do you see the numbers from this year. I haven't managed to find anything

Where do you get the 170 million? Haven't been able to find official numbers other than 2014 saying 180, but several other sites mention numbers in the 3 or 400s. I'm aware that there are many ways of counting, but that's a big difference. Articles without sources are always questionable but it's an extremely inflated number if they say double the amount that actually watched.

Not planning on following it, but it actually sounds like they've learned some lessons from earlier failed attempts (like last year's lovely AAF ) Only time will tell if it will work out.

Don't know if I completely agree about that (except the highly flawed democracy part - Who the heck still think a caucus is a good idea?). It doesn't seem impossible that it'll end up in a brokered convention (Fivethirtyeight has it as the 3rd most likely outcome). At least we could be seing an actual race at least going on until late april. Iowa and NH has meant way too much to be fair in some primaries while in others not so much. It will be make or break for some candidates, but the field is still large and a lot can happen.

That could very well be true. Numbers outside USA is usually estimated at about 50 millions. Canada takes up about 10 % of that. (they have even been at 9,5 millions, but lately it's been about 4,5). I would guess that it's decently high in Mexico as well. In Denmark it's about 100.000 (slightly higher last year, just below the year before that) which is pretty good in the middle of the night. Wouldn't be surprised if the 10 largest markets outside USA takes up half the viewers meaning a lot of small portions.

Don't know how much of a difference in countries anymore. I believe the Super Bowl has viewers in close to 200 countries (5 years old info says available in 180 countries). But there are of course plenty of factors to compare. Just looked at viewer numbers as it's really the easiest one.

The Champions League final has about double the viewers worldwide

That good old Handegg comment never stops being funny (you are aware that it was named for the size, right?). And BTW there is some kicking as well 1. You are aware that the US is one of those very few countries who for some reason feels that the imperial system is the right one, right? That's not so much about the sport. Sure it would be nice if they went by meters, but as it is, it would be just as stupid if commentators felt like saying that they run 4,72 meters. 2. Boring? Well, that's a matter of taste, so fair enough. 3. Being a former handball player (not any high level) I would say that this comparison doesn't really work that well. It's an entirely different thing and there are some absolutely magnificent catches that I don't see a handball player making (well, maybe with some training they could, but it's an entirely different thing to catch a football at the speed and distance, very often after an all-out sprint). 4. A general thing about American sports. It has its pros and cons, but once again. That's USA, not the sport. 5. They are the best team in the world. It is in general a pretty secondary sport on a world basis (though the growing NFL fan base also means more teams and players worldwide). It's always a matter of taste. No doubt it's made a whole lot bigger than it actually is (nowhere near the biggest annual sporting event worldwide), but it matters to a lot in USA and more and more people (I believe) around the globe.

That's pretty close to being the game winner!

I do not have energy for OT
