Well the Luge Relay is the best. Everything should be a relay. Figure Skating relay where you have to toss a skater to another skater and continue the routine. Skiing relay where you have to downhill to a ski jumper to a biathlete. All the relays.

Benicio Del Toro was the star of this movie. And the only character that knew what he was doing.
'One Battle After Another' stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro were honored at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. When asked about working with Penn and DiCaprio, Del Toro said he learned that "the better they are, the better" he will be.

A friend just pointed out that the Tigers photoshopped on the Meijer patch on Verlander's sleeve. That's the little spinning top to let us know that we haven't been incepted back to 2012 and that this is really happening.

Well the US gets silver in Mixed Doubles Curling. Stupidly stressful and entertaining for a sport I only watch every 4 years. Could be more popular here though.

Submitted my first Out-Of-network claim with our company's new insurance (United Healthcare, yay.) Of course the process is 10x harder than doing it with Cigna (UHC: Type everything in manually in a garbage form that behaves poorly, Cigna: Upload a Superbill PDF.) Great start with the new system.
