Today we’re phlying phar away and in June, the Republic of Korea Air Force retired their last F-4 Phantoms after some 55 years service.

Sam Wise dusted off his passport and was there to bid farewell to this Cold War giant.

Lie down. Try not to cry. Cry a lot

Did you know?

Bebo Akapane is currently the first and only known UTAU to appear on a sports network so far. PHLY has this feature on their YouTube broadcasts where you can send something in the chat to appear on the network.

And so, this happened. That's the official character account for Bebo Akapane.

Imagine how many sports dads saw this while watching phly earlier today

Just curious, what was the skate like irl? Who didn’t even finish/ who did better than the rest??

Oh, I love you for this question. Buckle up.

First of all, I think there are a bunch of misconceptions about what 👹Tort's Rope👹 actually is and how it works. I had not a clue how it worked until today, and literally a week ago I thought Torts was tying ropes to hockey players and having them drag each other around the ice... Not how it works.

So, John Tortorella's bag skate. First, the rope is marked in large sections and tied between two goals, placed a little closer together than usual. The players are split up into 4 groups of approximately 4 players each and sent to the four corners of the rink. When Torts blows his whistle, one player from each group completes 4 laps of the goals and returns to their corner; the next player up is sent off on his own laps, and so on and so forth. Once each player in each group has completed his first four laps, the two goals are widened to a new length marked on the rope and the first player is back up. It's not a test of time or speed; it's a test of endurance.

(Those numbers are rough estimates based off of what I saw today — it could be three laps, and I don't know how many reps they did. The actual schedule says 3x8 Lap which is the technical term for 👹Tort's Rope👹 but I thought I saw four laps. Eight reps sounds about right, too. Whatever! The actual numbers don't matter too much.)

What matters is that the player completes his laps and returns to his origination point, no matter how tired he is. His teammates can give him a pat on the back, or some tips and pointers, or they can stare into the blank void of space and consider a new career path. Whatever it is, he has to finish. So "not finishing" isn't really an option unless someone throws up or passes out or dies. And no one did that — so technically, everyone finished.

Some people certainly had an easier time than others. I noticed that Michkov and Bonk struggled quite a bit, and Jamie didn't look too thrilled either.

Which kinda sucked, because I was really rooting for them. But holy shit, Michkov was struggling. Charlie O Connor actually said in the PHLY podcast today that he noticed Michkov kind of cut his final lap short at one point and that John Tortorella came over to him and was like yo. can't do that. And for the rest of the time he pulled through.

Egor Zamula kept getting yelled at. "Let's go, Z! Keep skating, Z!" He also kept getting lapped by Rasmus Ristolainen. Tyson Foerster had "kill me now" face (see Bonk above) but Foerster does tend to have a pretty expressive face. Sean Couturier kept getting help from TK, who skated right behind him for the most part and kept pushing him forward with his stick. He even admitted it.

It seemed to me that most of the guys from last year, the returning ones, were the ones that did the best. Farabee, Frost, Tippett, Hathaway, Poehling, Laughton — they all had a routine in between their laps that they used to help keep them going, whether it was motivatinal or physiological or psychological. Farabee and Hathaway skated up and down the rope, in the center of the lapping players. Tippett stretched on the boards. (He's flexible. 👀)

It was interesting to watch who was fast, though. Ronnie Attard looked like he was having the time of his fucking life, and he actually did very well! Carter Sotheran has resting happy face, but I can't imagine he was having any fun. Jett Luchanko was certainly winded, but pulled through with minimal painful expressions. (Erik Johnson went on the record to say Luchanko looked like he didn't even have to try.) Zayde Wisdom, Noah Cates and Cam York all paced themselves well. But everyone, no matter who it was, was slowing down by the second or third rep — very visibly. It looked awful.

And then — and then! — they had to do shuttles. This one was in groups of four — started at one end, raced to the other end, tight turn, back to the original spot. Then a group of four at the opposite end, who were waiting, would do the same, and the small groups would switch off. They must have done at least five reps. No one fared well on these. No one. They were all lagging by the second rep.

Anyway, to answer your question, it was loud, and it was cold, and hockey players are big. The tallest ones were like hovering a foot over me (looking at you, Matteo Mann, what the fuck are you so tall for??) and even Michkov at 5'11 looked fucking ginormous. And his group was right near me — him, Frost, Seeler, and Lycksell. Frost was tiring but I could see him grit his teeth and grind out his laps. I assume after the emotional pain of John Tortorella, Frosty can handle the physical pain too. After one of his laps was done he gave Michkov a lil side hug. It was really cute!

Off topic, but stick "taps" — that's bad nomenclature, right there. A stick "tap" at the Vorhees TC sounds like a car backfiring.

At the end of every group's torture, they settled down for a circle stretch. TK went around the first one talking to guys and grinning and laughing. He looked like a leader. The second one Joel was going around making every guy give him a little fistbump. Then the third one was actually led by Spencer Gill, who I thought had done reasonably well, especially for having only just been drafted. He held his own.

Thank you for the ask!

If it seems for one second like I'll recover from this in the next 5-10 business days, please rest assured: I WILL NOT.

Surah Al-Talaq ki ayat number 7 mai Allah farmata hay kay "Unkareeb Allah bana dayga tangi k bad asani."Or phr sath hi vo ye bhi kehta hay kay "Yakeen walo kay liye Allah rasty nikal deta hay." Yani koi bhi azmaish hamesha k liye nhi, koi bhi takleef mustaqil nhi hay .Na dard hamesha rehta hay or na zakham hamesha sataty hain .Har aziyat bs azmaish kay waqt tak hi hoti hay or azmaish tab tak hoti hay jab tak hum vo nhi seekh jaty jo Allah hamain sekhana chahta hay, jab tak hum wahan tak nhi puhanch jaty jahan tak Allah hamain lana chahta hay .Or janty ho Allah hamain kya seekhana chahta hay? "Kay Allah kay siwa koi nhi jo day sakta hay,or uskay siwa koi nhi jo behtar janta hay.Vo hamain us muqam tak lana chahta hay jahan duayain bolny sy phly qabooliyat kay marahal mai dakhil hojati hain. Jahan Allah ki taqaton kay samny naseeb har jata hay or iltejayain jeet jati hain." Or esa kabhi nhi ho sakta kay vo tumhay imtehan sy guzary or phr us imtehan ka silah tumhy na day .Vo hisab kitab ka bara pakka hay, kabhi bhi insan ko us dua mai nhi uljhata jisko usny apny kun sy na suljhana ho .Meri ami kaha krti hain kay Allah ki sab sy pyari bat ye hay kay jab vo azmaish deta hay to us azmaish jitna sabr bhi day deta hay, or kabhi kabhar to esa hota hay kay sabar azmaish sy zyada hojata hay.uskay deny mai zeyadti ho sakti hay par kami nhi .Or yhi uski muhaboot hay kay vo har takleef aik muqarar waqt tak hi rakhta hay .Phr ya to apny diye huvay py dil mutmain kar deta hay, ya phr hamara manga hua hamain louta deta hay.

Ab hamary sath vo kya kryga ? Ye sochna hamara

kam nhi.Hamara kam bas us sy achy ka guman rakhna hay .Us sy behtari ki umeed rakhni hay .Us sy moujzy ka yakeen rakhna hay .Vo reyazatain zaya nhi karta ya to ata kar deta hay ya sabr day deta hay.Moujzy us mukam py hoty hain jab tum ye sochna chor dety ho kay agy kya hoga.
