Tour de France 2026

AKAK
I will say a bucket list item of mine is to ride alpe d'huez

It's such a part of cycling they're doing it again tomorrow

Its not a tremendously difficult ride, its something like the 40th hardest alpine cycling ascent. I've done it on zwift and as a fat old dude I can run it about 9 mph. Ventoux is way harder.

The idea that tadej beat a pantani time here should give anyone pause. You can decide what that pause is.

My perspective here is of a 53 year old fat guy who rides bikes. Bit a cycling fan. And I don't ascribe to the idea that they can do it and I can't only because of my fat old capitalist ass. They can do it for a lot of reasons I simply can't

Let them ride

Still never will understand why day didn't try to get 10-15 yards closer, he had the time. Fuck that game.

At that point in his career I’d say the brutal truth is the moment was too big for him.

Players go through it, coaches do too. We all do in our own professions if we’re honest with ourselves.

I used to eviscerate Day for learning on the job but he really was. Not his fault but he was.

Skull Session: It’s the Big Ten’s Time to Shine, Ohio State is the Best Program in College Football and Ohio State Women’s Hockey Hires Jack Johnson

Big Ten Media Days will demonstrate the conference’s depth, Ohio State is college football’s best program and Ohio State women’s hockey hires former Blue Jacket Jack Johnson.

A BLUE JACKET JOINS THE BUCKEYES. Ohio State women’s hockey added a 19-year NHL veteran to its coaching staff on Thursday.

Jack Johnson, who played for the Columbus Blue Jackets from 2012-18 and again for his final NHL season in 2024-25, is joining Nadine Muzerall’s program as associate head coach.

“We're really excited to have a new member join our family here at Ohio State,” Muzerall said in a news release. “To bring in Jack Johnson is going to continue to make our program better, both on the ice and really contribute to recruiting. When we talk about Ohio State, we talk about family and how we're all united. I think it's very important that he exemplifies that. He's going to bring that to our program and I think our recruits are going to see that and I know our girls are going to feel that.”

Johnson, who played in 1,228 career NHL games and won a Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche in 2022, is crossing rivalry lines to join the Buckeyes, as he played collegiately for Michigan from 2005-07 before starting his NHL career.

“It's such a privilege and honor to be involved with the best women's college hockey program in the country,” Johnson said. “I can't wait for the season to start and to continue Ohio State's pursuit of national championships.”

Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

Jaxbuck
So at the trade deadline lets step back and contemplate just how truly fucked this organization is.

The 26 man MLB roster has 5-6 legit good players to build on as a core. Greene, Burns and Abbott make a quality top 3. Good as anyone. Position players you have Elly, Sal Stewart and maybe JJ Bleday. So call it 6. The rest are not going to help you win. A good team may be able to carry a Steer but he isn't making a bad team better.

So where does the help come from? How do you build out the other 20 or so spots on the MLB roster that need upgraded? The minors are barren, everyone has been promoted. Anyone that could be any good is below AA except for 3 guys; The catcher at AA, Duno, is a legit stud. The other two are AAA outfielders (Rodriguez and Jorge).

Now, here is the easiest scouting set up in the world-the Reds MLB OF options all suck balls and yet these two "prospects" haven't seen even a whiff of a rumor of being called up. I'm no Sherlock Holmes but I am going to deduce that these two suck balls as well. More likely, they REALLY suck balls and the organization knows it.

So we still need talent and when we go to the minor league cupboard we are Old Mother Hubbard. Where else do you go to acquire talent in MLB? Free Agents and trades.
-Free Agents; once you stop laughing just move on. I simply mentioned the theoretical existence of them to be thorough.
-So then trade for it; except...who the fuck you going to trade? We have 6 guys and we have no farm system.

An MLB roster devoid of talent, a barren farm system and never any money for free agents. This is why there should be relegation in MLB. If you run a team this poorly for this long you should be stripped of ownership.

LJ Smith Ready to Play College Basketball, Confident He’ll Make Immediate Impact at Ohio State After Reclassification

LJ Smith Ready to Play College Basketball, Confident He’ll Make Immediate Impact at Ohio State After Reclassification​

163067_h.jpg


LJ Smith is looking to accelerate his development by enrolling at Ohio State one year early.

The five-star guard was originally a member of the 2027 recruiting class when he committed to the Buckeyes in November. Last month, however, Smith decided to reclassify into the 2026 class and become a Buckeye this year after completing his high school education early.

Smith, who played for one of the nation’s top high school basketball programs at Oak Hill Academy last season, felt like he would gain more by starting his Ohio State career this season rather than playing another year of high school basketball.

“I was just ready to come get better at the college level and develop my game,” Smith said last week in his first interview session since arriving at Ohio State. “During the winter, I was just worried about school ball at the time at Oak Hill, just staying in ’27. Spring came around, playing AAU ball, I felt like I was done with high school, ready to go to college. So I'm hoping to get better there.”

Ohio State coach Jake Diebler said conversations with Smith about a potential reclassification started at the end of his junior season at Oak Hill, but the Buckeyes felt at the time that Smith would benefit from staying in high school for his senior year. After a strong AAU season this spring, however, Ohio State decided that Smith would be able to help the team in 2026-27 and reinitiated those conversations.

“There had been some conversations even going back to, I'll call it, towards the end of his high school season that, ‘Hey, this could be a possibility.’ It was initiated by them. We had some initial conversations. Then it really kind of shifted to, ‘Hey, we think maybe that's not best right now,’” Diebler said after Smith’s reclassification in June. “So those conversations started happening again later in the spring, and we watched him in Memphis with his AAU team and felt like he could come in, have an impact, add value to the roster as it had formed.

“In order for this to work, everybody had to be on the same page. And so it just took kind of a transparent dialogue to get to that point. And once we realized everybody was on the same page, ‘Hey, this is good for him, it's good for us,’ then it was, ‘All right, how do we get this done?’”

“I was just ready to come get better at the college level and develop my game.”– LJ Smith on enrolling at Ohio State a year early

“He looks like a version of Patrick Mahomes. Really good athlete, can be a dual threat, (but) is more of a pocket passer,” Carter said. “Had a great spring, good-looking prospect. I think what Ryan Day and the quarterbacks that he's developed – he's a better thrower than Justin Fields. He's not as good a runner as Justin Fields. But man, I don't want to see a guy running like Justin Fields was running, because ultimately, it hurts your growth and development as a passer, especially when anticipating down the field. But, great-looking athlete. ... I saw him this year (when I) spent the week with the Buckeyes in spring football.

“Yes, he looks like the next starting quarterback if our guy Julian Sayin decides to leave college with two years of eligibility left,” the former wideout said. “The Buckeyes are going to be in good hands with him … a future NFL quarterback.”
