Fujinokawa is the Cam Skattebo of #Sumo. Convince me otherwise

The season finale of the 2025-26 All-Value Sire Team reveals the top stallions standing for $20k or less who made it through the "bubble" years, and my picks for top regional sires. https://t.co/xbhzOc2cIo

I've reached the "Starts Listening To Interpol Again" stage of my seasonal depression.

It's up to me, now. Turn on the bright lights.

[Joe Nevills @Joe_Nevills]

What makes a proven sire? We examine that idea in this week's installment of the All-Value Sire Team, where I pick my top Veteran (5+ crops of racing age) and Sprint Sires standing for $20k or less.

Am I on the mark here? Who are your picks? https://t.co/VB6xNaDdjg

Live the kind of life where if your account genuinely does get hacked and says something hateful, people default to believing it wasn’t you instead of having to convince them.

New faces and old friends on this week's installment of the All-Value Sire Team, where I pick the top first-year stallions standing for $20k or less, and one horse making a bid for the Mount Rushmore of all-weather sires. who are your picks? https://t.co/mgwYwBE4np

[Joe Nevills @Joe_Nevills]

Excited to launch the 2025-26 All-Value Sire Team, spotlighting my top picks for stallions standing for $20k or less.

We'll kick things off with the Team Captains (my top 2 overall Value Sires) and Turf Sires, and there is a new king of the mountain.

I can't stand sleigh bells. Anytime I hear them, I know someone is trying to sell me something.

[Joe Nevills @mibredclaimer]

@jw896896 Big facts.

[Joe Nevills @mibredclaimer]

My favorite thing in #Sumo wrestling is probably when Takayasu just starts slapping the hell out of his opponent.

[Joe Nevills @mibredclaimer]

@Stevenyoung27 Definitely. I bounce between wanting to see them go hard to put on a good show for the new audience and just hoping everyone gets back safe so they have something in the tank for when it really matters.

[Joe Nevills @mibredclaimer]

Interesting to see that Ura's legs weren't all wrapped up like a mummy today. Wonder what the story is there. #Sumo

[Joe Nevills @mibredclaimer]

@Stevenyoung27 I figured as much, but I expect it still takes some degree of knee strength/support to do what he's doing - especially considering how jacked up his knees are - even if it's at three-quarters speed.

[Joe Nevills @mibredclaimer]

I'd be curious to know which rikishi has used the most different winning techniques over the course of their career, and where Ura ranks on that list. #Sumo

[Joe Nevills @mibredclaimer]

I'll never not pop for Midorifuji tossing a dude to the ground. #Sumo

[Joe Nevills @mibredclaimer]

Just when I think these British fans might know ball, they start cheering for Ryuden. #sumo

[Joe Nevills @mibredclaimer]

I'm honestly a little surprised Takerufuji is competing in London. I figured the severity of his injury would have kept him on the shelf for longer, especially for an event that doesn't affect his spot on the banzuke. #Sumo

[Joe Nevills @mibredclaimer]

@GigglyPigeon It appears they had a Yokozuna vs. Yokozuna match during the last London stand, so having a winner and loser wouldn't be unprecedented. What I'm curious about is if they have a playoff if a bunch of guys are 5-0 or 4-1, or if they just call it a tie because it's an exhibition.

[Joe Nevills @mibredclaimer]

Oh man, this is gonna be the tournament where Takayasu goes ham and finally wins the whole thing, but it doesn't "count," isn't it? #Sumo

[Joe Nevills @mibredclaimer]

@GigglyPigeon True, but considering the promotional graphics for the event are largely based around the two Yokozuna staring at each other like a fight poster, I don't think you can just not deliver on that.

[Joe Nevills @mibredclaimer]

I hope Hitoshi finds a way to stick around in Makuuchi long-term. Tough to see him climbing too high, but he's got an entertaining brand of sumo. #Sumo
