I will miss: the people, the impact, and the challenges.
A world cup live blog update from The Athletic: At the tone of four bells across the stadium signalling a score update, the crowd groans. Quietly there is fear with a Canada loss and a big time Bosnia win, Canada could finish third in the group. The crowd roars once they see the update: Qatar has scored.
A photo of John J. Cafaro in 2002. He is a broad white man with black hair and a mustache wearing a comically wide grey suit with a black collar. It is a lot. He looks like a football player dressed up to officiate a local children's beauty pagent.

The 99 Lawful neutral. Governed by virtue and principle. You're a fierce competitor, you expect everybody to be better than who they are and you expect yourself to be better than everyone. “Will any man despise me? Let him see to it. But I will see to it that I may not be found doing or saying anything that deserves to be despised.” Chill out dawg, we love you regardless of how you act around Broadway and Main.

And his reaction to his first experience in an Olympic athletes’ village, a highlight for almost anyone because they get to meet other athletes from other sports, summarized MacKinnon’s skewed work-life balance perfectly. “We’ve talked to some other athletes,” MacKinnon said after practice Monday. “But to be honest, I just want to win gold here. It’s fun to get to know people, but at the end of the day, we’re just trying to win.” OK, so not a whole lot of mingling for MacKinnon, apparently. The Olympic experience to him, essentially, is all about the top step of the medal podium. “I want to enjoy myself, but I’m not here to enjoy myself,” he said. “I’m going to do everything I can to play well, and hopefully it’s enough and hopefully I can contribute.” Don’t you have to take this all in? “No,” he responded.

An ad for Toddler Tamers, a "leash less ankle weight system" that is marketed as an alternative to leashes. The comment from powerbottomjotaro is: this is such a bad product. You might have temporary control over your tot but you're just going to make it stronger. What's worse than an uncontrollable baby? An uncontrollable baby that has never missed leg day and could kill you with one kick.
