Last weekend had to be the greatest 3 day run in sports history.
- Justin Gaethje, a 37 year old who has never been a champion in the UFC, beats the absolute dogshit out of the 17-0 consensus No. 1 Pound for Pound itw Ilia Topuria, as a +450 underdog. In one of the greatest UFC events ever, at the Whitehouse. As an American
- Cape Verde, a country of 500,000 people, in their first ever World Cup game, go 0-0 with Spain — world No. 3 & reigning European Champions.
- The New York Knicks win the NBA Finals after 53 years, coming back from double-digits deficits in every game of the series, including a 29 point comeback in Game 3 — the largest in NBA Finals history. Only made more poetic by Jalen Brunson, who turned down $113mn two years ago to build a championship team. A gamble whose aura is only elevated by his 45 points in the closeout game — the highest ever scored in an NBA Finals.
- Lewis Hamilton won his 106th GP, his first in over 680 days, and his first at Ferrari. As a 41 year old. The oldest F1 driver to win a race in 56 years.
How can you not be romantic about sports
Messed around and built IPL Guessr - a Wordle for IPL players
8 tries. 1 mystery IPL player a day.
- green = exact match. yellow = close. grey = go rewatch highlights
- clues across team, country, role, batting hand, age, cap status, and seasons
Sonnetmaxxed the whole thing over the weekend.
Go crazy my fellow IPL nerds. Link below 👇🏾
