Sasha missed her first week while we were waiting for a Covid test result (luckily negative!)

Friday Fun Link – Flames’ Amazing Five Game Road Trip Win Record

A week ago, I was noting that the Flames’ first victory should be celebrated as I didn’t know how these chronic underachievers that I support would fare through the rest of the year.

(Of course I also find it funny that Ben Mulroney is recommending this behind-the-scenes wrestling show which has lots of violence – as you’d expect – and […]

Friday Fun Link – The Role of the Crowd in Pro Wrestling

Love the way the crowd is an active participant in these two recent clips from AEW. Even if you don’t know the wrestlers or the storylines and back story to these clips, you can’t help but feel the energy… CM Punk Debuts After Seven Years Away From Wrestling: Bryan Danielson Challenges Kenny Omega:

What’s The Easiest (and Hardest) Olympic Gold Medals To Win?

With the Summer Olympics on, I can’t be the only person with this question. (Of course, I broke my wrist going off a bike jump a couple years ago and broke my leg playing beer league hockey about a decade ago. So maybe sports dominance isn’t in my future, no matter how “easy” the sport?)
