A huge DAMn “thank you” to our SPONSORS and to our volunteers, Joel, Jackson, Jenny, Dave, John, Kyle, Carl, David, Hugh, Craig, Josh, and Abigail. Thanks to the kind folks of Gary, South Dakota and Hager City, Wisconsin. Thanks to all of the businesses along our race course, and thanks to all of the DAMn enthusiasts who live on the route who created such an incredibly supportive space for everyone! We don't know who you are or how you found out about us, but thank you for opening your farms and arms to everyone! That's some Minnesota grass roots gravel magic right there! Thank you to all of the support crews for taking the time out of their weekends to party with us. If you haven’t thanked your support crew properly, do it!

Some DAMn PHOTOS from Wark's Cycling Services just showed up. Check 'em out! There will be more coming later this week. The DAMn Store will reopen soon as well for one more round of jersey orders. More information on all of this will be hitting racer inboxes real soon. 

Each of you are what makes The Day Across Minnesota so incredibly special. Each year you all continue to inspire us and one another. This year we saw an 11 year old girl lined up at the midnight start. She raced her heart out until calling it at mile 121. Yes, an 11 year old girl crushed 121 miles of The Day Across Minnesota on her own bicycle. Her parents drove her to the finish line so she could tell us what she did. We don't always cry at bicycle races, but DAMn are we inspired by her... We are hoping to see her and the rest of you at the start in Gary, South Dakota and at our finish line in Hager City, Wisconsin next year.

Orange Cassidy (c) vs. Jay Lethal for the AEW All Atlantic Championship -- This was fine. Short and sweet. Lot of nonsense with Jarrett, Sanjay, Singh and Danhausen. Cassidy retains with an Orange Punch. Rating: 2.75

The Young Bucks vs. Top Flight -- Springboard moonsault-assisted powerbomb by Top Flight! Slingshot Canadian destroyer by Nick! Doomsday Device by the Bucks! Nice homage to Jay Briscoe. The Bucks go for the BTE trigger, but Darius ducks and the Bucks collide with each other. Darius rolls up Matt for the pinfall!!! Wow!! This was a really good match. Nice surprise victory there for Top Flight. Didn’t expect it, but love to see it. Rating: 3.75

The Gunns are in the ring to talk about The Acclaimed. They say that they made The Acclaimed popular. They even gave The Acclaimed their dad. Lol. 

Ricky Starks vs. Jake Hager -- This is fine, short serves its purpose. Menard and Parker continuously try to get involved. This is Hager's demise in the end, as Starks shoves Hager into Parker on the apron follows up with a spear and for the pinfall. Starks continues to run through the JAS!! Rating: 2.25

Bryan Danielson vs. Bandido – Great start on the mat with some nice exchanges of holds. Romero Special by Bandido. Danielson reverses by picking the ankle, then transitioning into the surfboard position. Instead of going for the Romero Special, Danielson stomps the knees of Bandido into the mat! Nice pinning combination by Bandido, with Danielson's wrists captured behind his own back. Danielson muscles up with no hands to get his shoulders off the mat. What abdominal strength!! Bandido catches Danielson out of the air with a huge delayed hip toss, then locks in a nasty submission hold! Danielson manages to escape and books it to the outside!! Big topé con giro to the outside by Bandido!!! Uppercuts and kicks in the corner by Danielson! Bandido is down, and Danielson says, "now it's time," putting Bandido in the Romero Special, then transitioning into a pinning combo with the arms still trapped! But Bandido gets the shoulders up. Bandido throws Danielson into the air and absolutely slams him down onto the mat with something of a facebuster!!!!! Dang! Huge exchange of chops! Thrust kick and tornillo off the top by Bandido! Huge display of strength by Bandido with a delayed vertical suplex!!! Cover, but Danielson kicks out.

Really, really great match here!!!!! Great showing by Bandido!!!!! Loved it!!! Rating: 4

While Danielson is still in the ring, MJF shows up on the big screen. He says he hears and reads everything people are saying about him not deserving his position in the company as champion. He calls these people fickle. He tells Danielson that until now, they have been dealing with Masked Max. He says Masked Max likes to keep things light and have some fun. But the closer they get to Revolution and the iron man match that Danielson thinks he wants, the mask is going to slip off. And not even a dragon is a match for the monster behind the mask. Good stuff!!!!!

Saraya with more disrespect to Shida backstage, calling her throwing the kendo stick into the ring last week stupid. 

Brian Cage is announced by commentary as Danielson's next opponent in his quest for number one contendership. Backstage, MJF holds up an envelope and tells Cage that he has more money there than Cage has ever seen in his life. He tells Cage that he doesn't care if Cage wins or loses against Danielson, but he does care that Cage breaks Danielson's arm. MJF slaps Cage in the face!!! Cage puts his hands around MJF's throat, but MJF asks if he wants the money or not. Cage lets him go. MJF: "See that feeling you've got right now? That's hate. And I learned at a young age, there is no greater motivator. So next week, use it." 

Toni Storm vs. Willow Nightingale -- This is a fine match. Some nice power moves from Willow. Really nice-looking spinebuster and a vicious shoulder tackle. Saraya with some heel antics, distracting the ref, while Storm rolls Willow up for the three count, tights in hand. Saraya and Storm attack Willow after the bell. Ruby Soho comes out for the save. This seems to have come out of nowhere. Rating: 2.25

Backstage with Renee, Takeshita talks about how it was great to wrestle his hero Bryan Danielson and how he has learned so much from Danielson. He also calls MJF an asshole. Nice.

Darby Allin (c) vs. Kushida for the TNT Championship -- Kushida!!!!!!!! So, so happy to see that he has escaped the clutches of WWE. Here we gooooo!!!! BEAUTIFUL start on the mat. Standing switches, wrist locks, pinning combos, quick armbar attempts. Outside, Kushida tries to trap Darby's arm, but Darby stops it by driving Kushida hard into the barricade! Back in the ring. Beautiful rolling elbow by Kushida!!! Darby lands a Code Red!!! Kushida kicks out and gets to the outside. Darby lands senton from the top rope to Kushida's friends from the NJPW LA Dojo on the outside. But Kushida comes from out of nowhere, locks in an armbar on Darby, runs with the arm trapped, and drives the arm down on the floor!!! Oh my god!!! Huge palm strike by Kushida in the ring!! Kushida traps Darby's wrist with his leg, then traps Darby's other arm and one of Darby's legs with his own hands. Kushida drops onto his back on the mat, wrenching down on Darby's trapped wrist. Strike exchange!!! Cross body and pele kick by Kushida! Kushida comes off the ropes, maybe looking for a back elbow, but Darby catches him in midair with a Scorpion Death Drop!!  Darby to the outside. Kushida lands a diving knee off the apron to Darby's shoulder!!! Damn!!!! Stunner on the apron by Darby!!! (Nasty landing for Darby here, his back hitting hard on the edge of the apron.) Damn!!! Darby goes to the top and dives to the outside, but Kushida catches his arm in armbar!! Holy shit!!! Back in the ring, both guys are onma the top rope. Kushida with a wrist lock on Darby on the top!!! Then Kushida flips backwards off the top with Darby's wrist still trapped, driving the wrist down into the mat! Oh my god!! Kushida transitions right into the Hoverboard Lock!!!! Darby escapes! Quick last supper pinning combo by Darby! 1, 2, 3!!!! Darby retains!! Kushida shakes Darby's hand and raises Darby's hand in victory after the match. Loved that. 

What a match!!! This was exactly everything I want in a wrestling match. Exactly my taste. Absolutely loved it. So great to see Kushida here, and Darby rocked as usual. Rating: 4

Surfing, skateboarding, Simone Biles and COVID are in the mix – Canon City Daily Record

The Tokyo Games have actually gotten here unlike any other because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the intricacies it has actually developed to place on a significant worldwide sporting occasion.

What unfolds over the next 17 days will consist of pictures of accomplishments and loss, and concerns about the reasoning of raking ahead in the middle of increasing infection rates.

Here are 6 summer season stories to follow through the closing event on Aug 8:

THE COVID VIDEO GAMES

No matter how hard the International Olympic Committee attempts, the once-in-a-century coronavirus will stay the main style of the Tokyo Games.

As infection rates in Japan reach their greatest levels in 6 months — thank you, Delta variation — everybody associated with the Olympics is under stringent orders to test, test and test once again.

A couple of professional athletes have actually needed to leave the Olympic Village due to the fact that of infections while others who contracted the infection never ever made it.

Tokyo organizers just recently stated the Games might be stopped if a significant break out takes place. Stay tuned for that political quagmire.

In the meantime, Japan has actually taken all the safety measures it can to lessen the danger. Government leaders are prohibiting viewers from the gleaming arenas and arenas built for the sports celebration. They have actually put Tokyo and surrounding prefectures in a state of emergency situation and have actually restricted the approximated 80,000 professional athletes, authorities, personnel and media from interactions with the Japanese public.

THE FLIGHT OF SIMONE

U.S. gymnast Simone Biles probably is the best Olympic gymnast in history. She definitely can leave Tokyo with that claim. Biles, 24, may be the greatest destination for the Summer Olympics — a minimum of from an American point of view.

She is primed to end up being the very first gymnast to win back-to-back Olympic well-rounded titles considering that Czech star Vera Caslavska did it in 1964 and ’68.

Biles anchors the preferred U.S. females’s group that is on the Olympic phase for the very first time considering that the Larry Nassar scandal including the sexual assault of numerous female professional athletes that brought embarassment and reject to U.S.A. Gymnastics.

TOSSING A SWIMMING POOL CELEBRATION

Stanford graduate Katie Ledecky will never ever be puzzled with the now-retired Michael Phelps. But the subtle Ledecky has a possibility to leave Tokyo as the most embellished woman Olympic swimmer ever.

Ledecky, 24, currently has 15 World Championship titles, the most in history. She gets in the Tokyo Games with 5 gold medals and one silver medallion. Ledecky requires to win 4 gold medals to pass another Stanford swimmer, Jenny Thompson, to end up being the Olympic leader. Ledecky prepares to swim freestyle races over 200 meters, 400, 800 and 1,600. She likewise will complete in a minimum of one relay.

She would require to win 6 medals to connect Dara Torres and Thompson with 12 medals for the greatest Olympic haul for a female.

None of this will measure up to Phelps, who made 28 medals, consisting of 23 gold, in 5 Olympics.

END OF SUPERPOWERS

What’s happening with U.S. basketball and now the females’s soccer group that opened the Tokyo Games with a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Sweden?

It has actually been a rough summer season up until now for groups that hardly ever lose.

Kevin Durant’s Team U.S.A. lost successive video games to Nigeria and Australia previously this month in pre-Olympic tuneups in Las Vegas. A lineup filled with NBA gamers looked slow versus Nigeria after their long season.

But begun. The United States had actually lost an overall of 2 video games in worldwide play from 1992 to June 2021. But from another point of view, this constructs intrigue into the guys’s Olympic competition. As Olympian Draymond Green has actually stated, practically everybody roots versus American supremacy.

The females’s basketball group, filled with renowned stars like Sue Bird, 40, and Diana Taurasi, 39, likewise had a stumble a week earlier. The WNBA all-star lineup was inadequate in a 70-67 defeat to Australia. The females likewise lost to Team WNBA in an all-star video game, marking the Americans’ very first successive beats considering that 2011.

But this group is great. It’s tough to think of anything less than a seventh successive gold medal.

The ruling world champ females’s soccer group, nevertheless, left a great deal of concerns on the pitch after the knocking by Sweden on Wednesday.

Like the females’s basketball group, the American lineup is filled with skill consisting of Carli Lloyd, 39, and Megan Rapinoe, the future husband of basketball’s Bird.

The U.S. females concerned Tokyo searching for redemption after stopping working to medal for the only time at the Rio Games in 2016. They are seeking their 5th gold medal however have actually acknowledged it won’t be simple to declare it.

Naomi Osaka, 23, made headings this year when withdrawing from the French Open tennis competition rather of being required to do the needed media interviews after her matches. Osaka, a Haitian-Japanese gamer ranked 2nd on the planet, stated she required a psychological health break from tennis. She likewise avoided Wimbledon.

But she is anticipated to be among the host nation’s greatest attention grabbers. Although her household relocated to the United States when she was 3 years of ages, Osaka has actually represented Japan throughout her profession.

“An Olympic Games itself is special, but to have the opportunity to play in front of the Japanese fans is a dream come true,” she composed in July prior to the federal government set up a restriction on viewers. “I hope I can make them proud.”

EXTREME ENJOYABLE

In an effort to inject youthfulness into the Olympics, IOC authorities are presenting skateboarding, browsing and sport reaching the menu. They sign up with a growing list of severe sports making it to the Olympic phase, consisting of mountain cycling and BMX and snowboarding in the Winter Games.

Skateboarding will command a great deal of attention with American Nyjah Huston breaking Japan star Yuto Horigome.

Surfing deals with a harder phase due to the fact that the sport depends on wave conditions. The waves are waist-high in Chiba as the Olympics start, however optimists state a swell might be on the horizon.

“It is probably not going to be very good surf,” stated Kelly Slater, browsing’s all-time terrific who simply missed out on getting approved for the Tokyo Games. “But everyone has equal opportunity and they will have to compete against each other. In terms of that it’s a fair competition.”

Card change set for tonight's AEW Dynamite

New Post has been published on https://appradab.com/card-change-set-for-tonights-aew-dynamite/

Card change set for tonight's AEW Dynamite

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A 14-man tag-team match set for tonight’s broadcast of AEW Dynamite is facing a slight revision.

The match, featuring all seven members of the Inner Circle against three tag teams and Brandon Cutler, would receive a revision around 3:36 p.m. Eastern time.

Due to a family matter, Inner Circle member Wardlow was unable to travel to Jacksonville. However, the other six members will still be able to participate. Those members are Chris Jericho, MJF, Santana, Ortiz, Sammy Guevara, and Jake Hager.

As a result, Best Friends, Top Flight, and Varsity Blondes will still participate in this match. However, Brandon Cutler has been cut from the match.

Updated Dynamite card for tonight

With this update, not much else is changing for tonight’s broadcast. Here is what you have to look forward to on Dynamite:

AEW is kicking off yet another World Championship eliminator tournament. Current champion Kenny Omega takes on Joey Janela. This is under No Disqualification, Anything Goes rules. Don Callis will appear with Omega at ringside, while tag team partner Sonny Kiss will be at ringside supporting Janela.

We expect to hear once again from Sting, who debuted on Dynamite two weeks ago.

Cody Rhodes will face off against TH2’s Angelico. Arn Anderson and Jack Evans are slated to appear at ringside.

Eddie Kingston will address his enemies during a promo spot.

NWA Women’s Champion Serena Deeb teams with Big Swole in women’s tag action against AEW Team Cup winners Ivelisse and Diamante.

Backstage interviewer Dasha Gonzalez will interview Dustin Rhodes.

SoCal Uncensored (Kazarian and Daniels) faces off against The Acclaimed in tag team action.

AEW power rankings

AEW World Championship/TNT Championship

Omega is the AEW World Champion. Darby Allin is currently the TNT Champion. Omega has an 8-0 singles record in 2020 and is 34-10 to date. Allin is 14-5 in singles action in 2020 and is 21-13-1 to date.

Former champion Jon Moxley remains the number one contender for either championship at 21-1. Moxley sits at 27-3-1 overall.

Back-to-back Dynamite Diamond champion MJF sits at 11-1 in 2020 and sits in second. MJF is 17-3 since joining AEW full-time.

Sitting at third is Cody Rhodes, who is 20-3-1. The former TNT Champion is 30-9-2 overall in singles action.

Brian Cage and Team Taz teammate Ricky Starks round out the top five. Cage is 13-1 in 2020 and 14-2 overall. Meanwhile, Starks is 16-2 in 2020, holding an overall singles record of 17-4.

AEW Women’s Championship

Hikaru Shida is the current champion. Rarely does Nyla Rose not appear atop the rankings, but such is the case this week.

The current number one contender is Big Swole. She is 14-4 in 2020. Since her debut on Dynamite, she is 16-9 in singles action.

Rose is second overall with a 13-3 record for 2020. Overall, she holds a 20-7 record.

Abadon holds the number three spot at 6-1 and sits at that record overall since her debut.

Deeb currently holds the NWA Women’s Championship and sits at number four in the rankings with a record of 4-2. That is also her overall singles record in AEW.

Rounding out the top five is Penelope Ford, who is 11-5 in 2020. She currently has a 13-8 record in AEW’s women division.

AEW Tag Team Championship

The Young Bucks are the current tag champions. They have a 2020 tag record of 27-12.

Some usual suspects are in the rankings. Former champions FTR hold the #1 contendership at 13-1. Best Friends holds the second spot at 20-7. Jurassic Express is third with a 15-5 record. Dark Order is fourth with a 15-2 record.

The only newcomer in the rankings are The Acclaimed, which holds a 7-1 record in AEW. That has them at the bottom of the rankings.

How will their performances affect the rankings for next week?

Chiefs vs Raiders Odds Lines and Spread for Week 11 Sunday Night Football added to SmartSport on Trello

Smart Sport added the card Chiefs vs Raiders Odds Lines and Spread for Week 11 Sunday Night Football to the Chiefs vs Raiders Odds, Lines, and Spread for Week 11 Sunday Night Football list in the SmartSport board at November 22, 2020 at 11:24PM Chiefs vs Raiders Odds, Lines, and Spread for Week 11 Sunday Night Football https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/news/nfl/chiefs-raiders-odds-lines-spread-week-11-sunday-night-football/ The Kansas City Chiefs look to gain breathing room atop the AFC West standings as they visit the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday Night Football as 7.5-point favorites NFL season betting record: 6-10-1; -5.24 units We’ve got you covered with all the odds and trends ahead of Sunday night’s AFC West clash at Allegiant Stadium below. The Kansas City Chiefs will be aiming to atone for their only defeat over the past 12 months when they visit the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday Night Football as 7.5-point road favorites in the NFL Week 12 odds. Winners of four straight, the Chiefs return from last week’s bye leading the way atop the AFC West standings with an 8-1 record, two games up on second-place Las Vegas. The Raiders opened their current 4-1 run with a stunning 40-32 upset win in Kansas City in Week 5. However, Las Vegas has struggled to produce consistent results at their new home, under the dome at Allegiant Stadium, where they have stumbled to a 2-2 record this season. Kansas City Chiefs vs Las Vegas Raiders Odds Team Spread Moneyline Odds Total Kansas City Chiefs -7.5 (-106) -335 O 56.5 (-110) Las Vegas Raiders +7.5 (-115) +280 U 56.5 (+110) *Odds taken from DraftKings on 11/22/2020. Line Movement and SNF Trends The point spread has moved slightly in Kansas City’s direction since opening at -7, climbing to -7.5, while the total has made modest gains to 56.5 after opening at 55. This contest marks the first Sunday Night Football appearance of the season for Kansas City, and the Raiders’ first appearance since 2017. Surprisingly, the Chiefs have struggled on Sunday nights, losing outright in four of six, including two of three on the road. Kansas City has also tended to give up big points totals in SNF appearances, surrendering 31 or more points in four of their past seven. AFC WEST STANDINGS: (After 9 Games) Chiefs (8-1) Raiders (6-3) Broncos (3-6) Chargers (2-7) — Sports & TV (@Greebull) November 16, 2020 The Raiders have fared only marginally better, posting wins in three of their past five Sunday night outings to end a stretch of four straight losses. However, the team currently rides a four-game win streak in prime time, with three of those victories coming by double-digit margins. Raiders In The Hunt Winners by a 37-12 margin over Denver last week, the Raiders enter Week 11 with their hopes of winning the AFC West very much alive. The Las Vegas defense impressed against Denver, picking off Broncos passer Drew Lock on four occasions, and have allowed just three TD passes over the past three outings. .@Raiders defense comes up big with 4 interceptions propelling #LasVegas to a 3rd straight victory today over the Broncos. @VinnyBonsignore @edgraney @HeidiFang #RaiderNation pic.twitter.com/ztUHOsWVi3 — Benjamin Hager (@BenjaminHphoto) November 16, 2020 And while the team struggled with a positive COVID-19 test earlier this week, seven of the 10 players who had subsequently been placed on the COVID-19 list have been activated for Sunday’s contest, including safety Johnathan Abram, defensive tackles Maliek Collins, Johnathan Hankins and Kendal Vickers, defensive end Arden Key and cornerback Isaiah Johnson. Can Carr Duplicate Huge Performance vs KC? Quarterback Derek Carr has been steady, but has not come close to duplicating his performance against the Chiefs last month, when he connected on three scoring passes and compiled a season-best 347 passing yards. Carr has topped 165 passing yards just once in the four games since, and has failed to connect on a pass longer than 25 yards in two of three contests. Raiders hand Chiefs their first loss, 40-32 #RaiderNation Carr – 22-31/347 yds/3 TD Jacobs – 77 yds/2 TD Ruggs III – 118 yds/TD ⬇️pic.twitter.com/mKNWqDUxBj — Sideline Sports (@sportsideline) October 11, 2020 Carr has also tossed multiple interceptions in four of six dates with the Chiefs, and will be hard pressed to duplicate the career-best 11.2 yards per pass attempt he recorded in Kansas City last month. However, Raiders rushers have picked up the slack, averaging over 190 yards per game and scoring six times over their past three contests, including four scores last week against Denver. Unheralded Chiefs Defense Getting it Done on the Road The Chiefs’ offense needed to play catch-up early on in a 33-31 win over Carolina two weeks ago, but has scored 32 or more points in four of five outings. That steadiness extends to contests away from Arrowhead Stadium, where the Chiefs are 8-0 SU and 7-1 ATS since November 2019, and have allowed just 16.3 points per game. Kansas City Chiefs: @Chiefs Offense- 286 pts (1st AFC/2nd NFL) Yds/G- 409 (1st AFC/2nd NFL) Turnovers- 6 (3rd NFL) Defense- 183 pts (5th AFC/6th NFL) Turnover Diff- +8 (3rd NFL) One of two undefeated teams on the road-(4-0) I think it’s safe to say KC is well rounded. — Luke Moehle (@LukeMoehle) November 17, 2020 However, Kansas City has disappointed as big road chalk, going 6-8 ATS in its past 14 while favored by seven or more. And while the team has won four in a row when playing under a dome, each of those wins have come by four or fewer points. Chiefs Feeling Sense of Urgency Faced with a daunting stretch-run schedule that features road dates in Tampa Bay, Miami, and New Orleans, the Chiefs are highly motivated to put some distance between themselves and the Raiders. People are calling the Steelers overrated cause they’ve beat a bunch of teams with losing records…let’s have a look at “the best team in the league” the Kansas City Chiefs schedule shall we? pic.twitter.com/otfh7y4h9s — Carson East (@Carson_East_52) November 17, 2020 If they can avoid giving up the early lead, and do an effective job of keeping Derek Carr in check, they can all but end the Raiders’ hopes of a divisional title. But 7.5 points is a lot to cover against Las Vegas, in what promises to be a high-scoring affair.

Message of thanks

I had asked Hager to share what Ramadan was and how she was practicing since we have a few members that take this on every year. This is the reply she came back with, not an explanation but something better. Thank you for sharing!

“Entering the last week of Ramadan, I wanted to share some words of thanks.  Sheltering in place hasn't been easy on anyone.  All of us have been impacted and are experiencing different degrees of loss and separation.  Waking up to a completely new way of life has not only been a big test of character, but it's helped centralize what's most important in our lives.  For me it comes down to spirit-mind-body wellness, family and community.  To this, I hold deep gratitude to you and the Jigsaw community for the resiliency to show up and keep things going while managing the challenges of Covid-19 restrictions.  Being able to borrow equipment has given me a whole new access to fitness that's supported me during a time when I needed it most.  Even my kids are inspired to get more active and have started joining in my workouts!  Thank you for continuing to build out new ways for our gym family to stay connected.  I look forward to closing this month of fast knowing I've done, and continue to do, the important work to maintain the cornerstone of my health and wellness.

Take care, 

Hager”
