Gabby Dougles is working toward the Olympics on TV tonight. She's 28 and finally looks like a grown assed woman.

Aaron Judge is 32. Feels like he was in his rookie season only 5 or so years ago.

He went to college and then spent 3 years in the minors. He was a rookie 7 years ago so you’re not too far off

I have never believed this. If you go to his baseball reference page and add 3 to his age in every season, his career arc makes a lot more sense.

Well, he was killing hookers at SMU 40 years ago, so that's about right.

Gronk is 35 while Travis Kelce is 34. That’s wild to me. Feels like Gronk should be like 40 and Kelce should be 30.



Top one of the day.

I follow Professional Darts via the PDC Tour and stream most of the big tournaments.

In this years World Championship to determine the current world champion there was a young guy named Luke Littler who entered. He is a youth champion and really shook up the pro ranks by making it to the finals where he was beaten by Luke Humphries.

The kid was just 16 yrs. old when the tournament started and turned 17 not long after it ended. I can't believe how cool he is under the pressure of playing against those seasoned pros on stage in front of many thousands of fans and being streamed worldwide.

He was invited to play in this years Premier League of Darts where he finished 1st out of the 8 players invited to participate and could very well win that title this coming Thursday when the finals start.

Amazing talent and as the Brits call it "Bottle" aka steel nerves to do what he's done at such a young age.
