I feel like this #jeopardy clue just now is a bit off. "What is 500 miles?" is the famous lyric, sure. But, didn't they say they'd also walk 500 more...? 😅😅😅

Damn Baltimore. I feel bad for Zay Flowers. Me during that fumble/touchback:

HE MISSED IT! All of Buffalo right now:


Literally four stories in a row on The Hill: - Comer calls a rep in a blue suit a "Smurf" - One Republican accuses another of elbowing him - Gaetz gets upset about it - MTG calls a colleague a pussy ...are the Republicans still in third grade or something?? 🤦‍♂️ #Republicans #MTG

Fantastic Golden Bolt tournament. End Game deserved it, but I loved that underdogs like Shreddit Bro and Jackpot put on an absolute clinic in their slugfest tournaments. At this stage, almost any bot has a shot to do amazing things and get some spectacular wins! #BattleBots


...kinda curious about that split decision. End Game manhandled SawBlaze for about 80% of that fight and DEFINITELY deserved to be repeat champions. And CLASSY from Jameson for being a great representative of this sport. So glad to see the sport in such a great place! #BattleBots


SawBlaze definitely deserved the JD in this amazing fight, but we've seen some KOs at 2:58/2:59 before, so this match makes me wonder if countdowns could be done with digital timers from now on? Refs always have slightly different paces, even in the same countout. 🤷‍♂️ #BattleBots

If SawBlaze was saved by the bell then who should win? #BattleBots @Discovery

SawBlaze %73
Tantrum %27

Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! I've seen some KOs with one second to go but THIS was brutal!! #BattleBots


When your flywheel bot LITERALLY sends a wheel flying!! 😆😆😆#BattleBots


If RIPperoni gets a good shot and sends Ginger and Alex's bot flying, would that be... "Throwing a Tantrum" 😏😏😏#BattleBots


The fact that it went to a SD says so much about Matt Vasquez's driving and Whiplash's durability and power. It's a shame Whiplash's lifting arm wasn't working, or it would have won this easily. Whiplash is living proof control bots can still succeed in this sport. #BattleBots

Who wins (and remember you can’t win all the Control or Aggression points if you do not use your active weapon). #BattleBots @Discovery

Jackpot %46.8
Whiplash %53.2

SawBlaze cheating on Hypershock with Shreddit Bro... Celebrity power couples never work, do they? 😆😆😆 #BattleBots


Drum spinners always seem to struggle against SawBlaze, oof. The dustpan/fork configuration just deflect the drum's energy so well. #BattleBots


Gary is one of the OGs of the sport, and it was great to see how meaningful it is after that match. Please, don't retire any time soon -- especially because we know you've been ageless from 2001 to 2023. 😆😆😆 #BattleBots

Who's going to win the Golden Bolt? My odds, by category: Really good shot: -Endgame -SawBlaze Dark horse: -RIPperoni Outside chance if they're on point: -Tantrum -Whiplash Need a miracle: -Free Shipping -Jackpot -Shreddit Bro #BattleBots


Next week is going to be CRAZY. Can't wait to see who takes home the Bolt this year! #BattleBots


Grind of a fight but I think RIPperoni edges it out. Landed more shots, and looked a bit more mobile in its crab-walking. Oof... #BattleBots


So can both RIPperoni AND Hypershock go to the Golden Bolt tournament? Because they've both been so awesome tonight and I don't want to see either of them lose. 🥲🥲🥲 #BattleBots


I really like Alex's driving on Hypershock, there's some great tactical control here and a clear gameplan. Also it was so wholesome seeing her and Will hugging afterward. #BattleBots
