Hi, friends!
I hope your weekend has been good!
What’s a sporting event you wish was on tv more? Or one of your faves but isn’t shown much?
I love watching NCAA college women’s gymnastics. It’s way more interesting than the Olympic stuff. The athletes seem happier and actually look like they get enough food to be healthy.
Volleyball is a good one. It’s incredibly easy to understand the basics, but there’s a ton going on all the time.
I think it tends to suffer from the usual over-announcing problem of US broadcasts and the number of gratuitious changes from one camera to another. It would benefit from a less is more approach.
Switching to owls, a couple of nights ago we had some kind of barred owl ruckus going on down the block with a bunch of hooting and squawks. I went to see if I could tell what was happening, but it was too dark for my puny human eyes.
I do like watching volleyball!
Sand volleyball looks exhausting though.
Beach volley ball is fun to play. To watch??? Some broadcasters focus too much on the tight butts of the players.
I like to watch cycling but the grand tours are definitely a commitment.
I love me some every kind of volleyball. Grew up playing beach, then moved indoors, then coed indoors, then coached girls indoors. Beach is still my favorite but I am finally at an age & injury level I think I may be done with that. My favorite less shown sport is bodyboarding. I used to want to be a pro & got pretty close just out of high school but now it is really fallen off the map. In the day, a bunch of my friends were making a living at it & this was the best contest of that time.
I have a bad shoulder and watching that just makes me cringe. I’ve given up body surfing in four foot waves to avoid a dislocation, and that just looks horrifying.
I have shoulder issues from volleyball (rotator) but my bodyboarding injury is 2 disks displaced from Sandy Beach. I grew up & got good at bodyboarding at the most dangerous beach on my island but it made me fearless anywhere else(other than pipeline & Ke’iki)

Commence the wailing and gnashing of (their remaining) teeth/tooth among MAGAts as Taylor Swift has been crowned queen of footbawl.
I honestly didn’t care about either team, but this is hilarious.
Tay tay won me a nice piece of change tonight.
For all 49ers fans. Please, just shake it off.
Postmodern Jukebox is the best.
As a Seahawks fan, all I can say is fuck the 49ers! As a MAGAt hater all I can say is fuck all of you!!!!
One Harbaugh winning this year is more than enough.
As someone else suggested… Tay-tay could you please date a Toronto Blue Jay or Maple Loaf next?
So glad the Chiefs won! My boss would have been soooo crabby tomorrow had they lost!
Need to erase this from my brain. Any advice?
