Has anyone thought to ask Aonishiki or Kirishima whether they’re planning to do their own brand of sumo this basho??

Thanks so much for this content Patricia! Does Sanma come off so much like a ghoul in the original Japanese? WMH is sharing how hard is it to miss key moments in his daughter’s life and this emcee seems really dismissive and callous towards him.

I used to think sports was about if my team wins I will feel happy. But I keep getting reminded that it’s actually mostly about feeling sad in a group

4. Bizarrely, the “NFL snapgate cheating scandal” clip becomes insanely viral among millions of people who have never watched an NFL game before?

The front page of Reddit is all Pittsburgh Steelers Delay Of Game memes. The front page of a Dutch newspaper is like, “AARON RODGERS DE SNÁPPEN-CHEAT?”

Similar to the other comment, I understand it to refer to something performative. Not living your values and letting other people see that, but rather doing something specifically so other people will see it and hopefully believe something positive about your values. It’s a dig at one’s motivation

Sounds like maybe the moon thing’s getting pushed? www.cbc.ca/news/science...

Not sure Hakunofuji can be faulted. You wrestle the guy in front of you as best you can. If Onosato has an injury that can be exploited (and let’s face it, this was a denshamichi disaster), that’s on him to go kyujo and recover, not the guy pushing on the sore spot.

I wonder if both of them might be (or have been) experiencing the same disappointment of unfulfilled expectations.

This is the one I’m remembering. Every shot of Kisenosato is sour: youtu.be/led3Qazg4RM

His answer is a cop-out. It doesn’t answer why he was the only *sumo wrestler* who wasn’t having a good time. It reminds me of the NSK putting out a Hakkeyoi music video and Kisenosato was visibly the only one looking grouchy about being made to do it

It's way too early for me to be laughing this hard. 🤣

Maccabeats: Miracle and Latke Recipe. I once tweeted these guys at you when you made the wild claim on-air that there really isn’t any good Hanukkah music

We really lean into the disappointment of Christmas morning by refusing to get them anything new like it’s the Depression. You know what the OG gift was? The gift of life

Definitely the choice I would have made.

If they move Egypt v Iran to Vancouver to avoid Seattle Pride, I personally commit to covering myself in pride flags and haunting the event.
