SportsFilter: The Thursday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Oh, man, that hop after. It's nice to be remembered that Mac was an asshole because he wanted to win every damn time.

(Officials misplace keys to stadium, have to use bolt cutters to let people in for early Olympics women's soccer match.)

Fortunately for the hosts, there are many parts of Rio in which the ratio of bolt cutters to keys is roughly equivalent to the ratio of bars to churches in San Francisco.

8/4 NEVER FORGET
A day that will live in infamy...in the Ventura Household.
I imagine the Ryan family gets together every August 4th to have beers and laughs.

Awesome! Just realized Mac is a lefty too-- he could probably help a team out.

I prefer to think he watches it on a loop while drinking Lone Star with the Snow Monkeys.

Have we already discussed McEnroe revalidating the idea of ceremonial first pitches?
