Watching some fencing and just saw the venue for the first time.

That’s wild and awesome, unlike Mike Trico, who is trash.

I've never considered having a strong opinion about Mike Tirico. Why do you say he's trash?

Clams, back on the topic of improving international fencing, how do you feel about rope spears? Unfair advantage or just should they be part of the game?

EDIT: sorry, “rope darts.”

Snoop is legit good. I can't quit the prime time show. But I've also been trying to mix in one quirky sport per day that they don't show in prime time.

I, like my parents before me, try to ignore all results I see on social media and on the land line from other farmers, to enjoy the prime time coverage. Also obviously when some farmer gets through to me and tells me what happens I pretend to not know for my kids and I to enjoy watching it together.

air rifle nailing sparrows on the barn like luke nailing wamp rats is my new "I could do this" in the Olympics ousting curling in the winters. I laid waste as a youth. no doubt in my mind I'd do it now.

Both of their aesthetics are off the charts. One is so damn too cool for school, the other is the most off the couch level I got this. If he was Russian it'd be perfect. "Oh you want me to shoot target? Da I shoot target watch this"

I’ve just never enjoyed his broadcasting style for any sport since I can remember. This goes back 20-30 years now.

Volleyball is just in a convention center and these giant bleachers are scaffolding that shakes and it is pretty lol

But it was very cool because outside of the main court they set up practice courts that fans could walk right to to while the teams warmed up

The dances are for monster block, super spike, and aces LMAO. There were instructions and practice
