  • Extinct

    The Olympics are extinct. Just like all other sporting events, and Drive-in Movie theatres, and roller-skate diners. Your dream of winning is more important than the lives of hundreds of millions of people. Nope. Your olympic dream is irrelevant and you are the bad guy. Olympics are extinct. Ask your Grandkids

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

French Open Daily: Zverev sets up Cobolli final
Q: Could you tell us about the journey you went through since your last Grand Slam final and how you kept the belief you could come back to that level?
He described returning to the top levels after a period outside the very top echelons, noting he's been consistently competitive, believing his previous top-three status gave him confidence that he could reach major finals again. He emphasized hard work, persistence, and maintaining focus through ups and downs as key to regaining that level of performance.
French Open Daily: Zverev overcomes Cobolli to finally win a Grand Slam
Q: How do you assess Zverev's performance given the obstacles he faced in the final and throughout the tournament?
The hosts highlight his late-stage composure, tactical adjustments, and mental strength that allowed him to close out a tough five-setter, especially after Cobolli's high-quality play and the pressure of a Grand Slam final.
French Open Daily: The Making of Jannik Sinner
Q: Why did Jannik Sinner avoid playing a single Junior Grand Slam according to his coaches?
The coaches believed the big stage would ultimately suit him better if he focused on development against adults and on the pro tour, allowing his skills and mental approach to mature without the pressure and distractions of junior Grand Slams.
Australian Open preview
Q: Which American woman do you think is going to go deepest at the Australian Open?
For me, it's Anna Samova; she's been playing well and plays big. She's down here in conditions that are fast.
