    Official Paris 2024 Summer Olympics Thread

    OK. Let's skip everything about tennis, but the numbers. Serena: Record:858-156 23 Grand Slams 73 Tournament wins 2 Olympic Golds Djokovic is a great player. There is a lot of opinions on this. But he really has been the most disliked player in the era.

    I agree; however, he stated the 21st century. This argument exists in every sport. I believe that Laver was the best in his time, but the sport was limited and new professionally. Laver could not compete with the larger more physically gifted tennis players of today.

    The king of what? Tennis people are divided between Djokovich, Federer, Nadal and Serena Williams. My picks are Federer and Serena. Novak is undoubtedly the greatest at pouting and making excuses. As much as I am a tennis fan, I cannot say anyone is a better athlete than Labron.

    RIP: Bob Newhart (1929-2024)

    I also saw him in Vegas in the 70's. It must have been in the same hotel. I was surprised how ribald his show was compared to his mild TV show. Much funnier in person.

    Craft Beer

    I guess there are not very many craft beer drinkers here compared to bourbon/whiskey. For those who value quality beer, Wren House (Sudhalle) in Chandler has been having St. Bernardus and Chemay on tap. Two of the historically best beers in the world, produced by Belgium. They are impossible to...

    I saw horse steak on a high end restaurant menu in Montreal. I tasted a bite and did not like it.

    French Open: Rafael Nadal loses in straight sets 6-4, 7-6, 6-3 to Alexander Zverev in first round

    It is hard to comprehend how good Nadal's lifetime achievement in the French Open is. He played in 18 French Opens and won 14. His match record at the French over that time was 112 wins and 4 loses, in one of the most difficult sporting events in the world.

    Shogun (FX | Hulu)

    I just subscribed to Hulu just to watch Shogun because of the good reviews on this site and others. I saw the old Shogun and recently reread the book. I hope it is s as good as I hope.

    Drew Brees-backed Smalls Sliders looks to open 22 locations across the Phoenix metro

    A White Castle recently opened at Warner and I-10 in Tempe. I grew up in Detroit and love White Castle. Now I go there for a treat about one time a week.

    Week 5 of the Arizona Cardinals off season. 02/05/24-02/11/24

    During the Arians years, the stadium was one of the loudest in football. Cardinal fans are some of the best when winning. Not so much in bad years.

    Week 5 of the Arizona Cardinals off season. 02/05/24-02/11/24

    I think the seat location determines when and how much the price increase has been. Our lower-level tickets for the 23 season went up about $1,000, which is more than 25%. That is one of the reasons we did not renew last year after 25+ years. These were relatively expensive seats for SFS...

    Peaky Blinders (Netflix)

    Started watching this. It is really good. I started it because of the discussion on this site. Because of the strong accents, some of the dialog is difficult for me to understand, so I use closed caption along with listening.

    Championship Weekend Games 2024

    You have to also consider that Campbell has very little confidence in the kicker to make 46 and 48 yard field goals. Michael Bagley was just signed off the practice squad in December, and is 13 of 24 in his career from 45-50 yards. Bagley was not asked to kick more that 41 yards in the last...

    Napoleon

    I read a lot of history, and read "Napoleon: A life" by Zamyski, and was fascinated by his portrayal in a great book. I am looking forward to seeing the movie, but do you think I will be disappointed in the movie?

    Best burgers in the Valley

    This probably does not count as a "best burger" for this thread, but White Castle just opened in Ahwatukee. Growing up in Detroit, White Castle was a high school late night staple. Thirty years later, I get the sliders about once a week as a light appetizer.

    Peacock becomes home of first-ever exclusive live streamed NFL playoff game

    I apologize, I reported what my sports bar guy told me. He was wrong, and I was wrong. Still, it is worth it to me to watch a month of NFL playoff games for $5.99 at home.

    Peacock becomes home of first-ever exclusive live streamed NFL playoff game

    Direct TV has a multiyear contract with the NFL to provide Sunday Ticket to commercial establishments. If a sports bar previously had Direct TV they do not need streaming to show all the games.

    Peacock becomes home of first-ever exclusive live streamed NFL playoff game

    Since Direct TV dropped Sunday Ticket, I had to subscribe to YouTube TV to watch all the games. It is a lot more expensive and not as easy to use. Also, it is a hassle to switch back and forth from games on CBS to YouTube games. I doubt if I do YouTube Sunday Ticket next season. Direct TV and...

    OT: Other games 12-23/25-23

    I just subscribed to Peacock for that reason at only $5.99 mo. Not for only tonight's games, but because the NFC playoffs are on NBC, and I am a Lions fan. I will cancel after the NFL season.

    Arizona Cardinals @ Chicago Bears Pregame Thread. 12/17/23-12/23/23

    Do not underestimate the Bears. Their defense is playing very well, and Fields is now playing how he was expected to when he was drafted. I expect the Bears to stop our run game, which is the only offense we really have, and Fields is capable of playing better than Murray.
