Wow, just saw Katarina Johnson-Thompson, the world heptathlon champion, refuse a wheelchair in obvious distress so she could limp across the finish line in the 200, the last event of Day 1.
We are less than 30 hrs into free agency...deals/signings aren't official for another few days...and the 2021-22 season doesn't begin for 2+ months...yet some folks are already set to write their team off (or crown them the champs). Just chill. Plenty can/will happen still.
Listen, I love decathlon/heptathlon. Awesome display of skill and talent. Tremendous training required. But can we dial down the gruelingness of it? It’s about 20 minutes of output over two days. They are elite athletes in their prime. Worst case is pulled hamstring.

Gut-wrenching
They gotta put a 4 x 400 hurdle mixed relay in the next Olympics, right?

Lourdes Gurriel takes some interesting routes to fly balls.
Oh yeah, nobody has signed Danny Green yet. That’s dumb.
Goddamn, Damian Warner.
