Presti and the OKC front office showing off their big brains AGAIN. Topic is all nba material, and fits in beautifully with their timeline. No pressure or need for him to play and perform this season. Incredible value at #12
@TheDunkCentral@IraHeatBeat@HeatCulture13@cavs please get involved. Your “core” is NOT working, you are too soft in every playoff series since the onset. Giannis, Jaylen, anyone. Get stronger mentally and physically or the title will never materialize. Please 🙏🏻
A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.
She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.
Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.
Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.
Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.
She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.
By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.
@iamhimuy@TheNBABase Golden state led the league in 3PA with 44.1 per game, it’s rare to attempt 48 in a game, so that limitation might not do much. I see your point but it feels gimmicky and would be weird for teams to navigate real time, having to question “how many shots they have left”
@Fullcourtpass@MichaelVPina 22 professional teams have varying degrees of interest in Kevin Durant? What kind of reporting is that lol we could have told you that much from our couch
@NFLFrascella@the_abduco He didn’t try to play quarterback? 😂😂 You’re a hilariously shallow thinker for a guru/analyst/expert/etc.
At least watch the all 22 before you talk about him holding the ball. Anytime the broadcast showed a replay from the backfield POV the entire field was covered
@NFLFrascella You’re an NFL draft expert? Any football-based expert would not point at Justin Herbert.
He often has to abandon his drop because the line collapses when the ball snaps. Worst pass pro in the NFL, no run support, no chance. It’s off script from jump.
Stop pretending man. Cheers
@RyanDePaul Well stated. Proud of a lot of these guys for the fight. Will continue to trust in Harbaugh and Hortiz.
Only thing I would add is that I cannot watch JK Scott punt anymore. 3 million for a guy that doesn’t know where the heck the ball is going off his foot? Cut him.
@BB_Chargers I’m bummed out that I root for the same team as you. Without an offensive line, you will struggle to win playoff games. This was maybe the worst offensive line I have seen in my life?
Without Herbert, this team’s offense would be on par with Jets and they would be a top 10 pick.
@MikeReiss@danielrpopper does this become a viable option at C for the Bolts if he doesn’t retire?? Andrews off a shoulder surgery still seems a better option than Bozeman/Johnson
@ChargersCountry That’s great! Talented guy. Roman doesn’t care how talented his receivers and tight ends, or even quarterbacks are though. Balance has never been in his gameplan and it looks like he hasn’t made any adjustments since Baltimore.
@mlombardiNFL Staley didn’t kick FG, got canned. 49ers had the fewest 4th down attempts in the league, went to Super Bowl. Harbaugh comes in, punts and kicks on 4th, the team controls the game and wins. I’ll never get it. SHOUTOUT to the Michael Lombardi football school via podcasting.
@chargers Ever since Keenan and Mike were shipped away, this here is a guy that can step up. Not going to catch 100 balls for 1000 yards but he’s too explosive to be tied down to special teams. Need him in the gameplan every week
@SoldierBoyLeon @HollywoodHandle No proper ending, or a proper beginning. Save yourself the time. Poor writing start to finish, doesn’t align with anything from the real Star Wars. Concerning, they had themselves convinced that it was going to be well received, they thought at least 3 seasons for this show lol
