Akiseyama is on a roll (a jelly roll) Definitely some big-man sumo there though.

Well, Akiseyama is more mobile than gaga ever was, I am just not sure whether his "mobility" is an asset Akiseyama might be described as having more moving parts than a swiss watch

Woooo he's on another run!

I couldn't agree more, but with a few A's thrown in for the hell of it Or maybe I should just pick all A's, can't be any worse than my actual picks below 1. B 2. B 3. A 4. A 5. A 6. A 7. A 8. B 9. A 10. A 11. B 12. A 13. A 14. A 15. A 16. A 17. B 18. B 19. A 20. B 21. B

Wow, Mike Nesmith really looks different without his hat....

In like flynt. I think there is a glitch in the game. I tried to select no yokozuna, but the game wouldn't let me. I don't believe sumo has any yokozuna, they are just a conspiracy "properly" foisted upon us by the MIB (or mr golden whatnots)

Thanks John, while I have you on the proverbial phone... Is there any chance of you returning to the english TV broadcast anytime soon? I am guessing the studio in Tokyo where you guys broadcast from might be too small for physical distancing or maybe not enough ventilation? You are missed :-}

John had very little to say about Harumafuji, sumo-wise. I am wondering whether this was the proverbial damning by faint praise....

As Kaninoyama stated Hidenoyama was the commentator in the booth and Izutsu (Toyonoshima) as the off-site commentator. The Japanese broadcast showed a replay of a playoff between the two (in jonidan?), that Toyonoshima won. I hadn't seen this one before, neither had a cho-mage and both were still (fairly) slim :-} Tomorrow will feature my much awaited match between two of the blubbery (est?) mammals in sumo, Akiseyama and Aoiyama. I am hopeful of a long (and relatively active) match with lots of slo-mo replays :-}

I am hoping Akiseyama will fight Aoiyama this basho, just to see the slow motion replay afterward. It will be like the nature channel slo-mo videos of elephant seals, walrus' (walrai?) or other blubbery mammals fighting in all their glory :-} Actually I am really enjoying Akiseyama use what looks like some wily veteran skills to stay on top of the leader board.

Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down.

That can't be takonohana, she isn't wearing a scarf....

Always seemed like a good guy, I hope he carries on with his ozeki run.

You took the words right out of my mouth....

What's the betting line on the yokozuna? One in? Two in? None? None makes things really interesting.

I'm going to let it ride, "fixing" it probably won't help. As Pandaazuma said about there being so many double digit winners and losers this basho. The middle of my banzuke is lost anyway

Either one will sink my game. Moti-san don't you have a little juice with the banzuke makers....

To make things even worse, in the 21-21: Rule or No Rule thread they are talking about S2W and K2W. I may be an O'fer on this GTB.

It shouldn't be too hard to find the truck driver. He should be the only one driving around with a mawashi as a covid-19 mask.....

Dear Mr Golden Huevos, Is it safe to assume Abi must be listed on the future banzukes even though he is suspended?

Rainy season getting to you? It'll stop sooner or later....
