Minnesota!? Dick Beardsley!? A couple of my favorite things on a Monday morning. Thanks Sarah!
They moved the finish line in 1985. It was when the new sponsor took over, so it may not have been necessarily to eliminate the tight turn onto N. Ring Road where Beardsley had to dodge the motorcycles. That setup required a *right* turn from Hereford to Boylston and then a really sharp hairpin left/Uturn on Boylston…
I like Madison Bumgarner. He seems like a chill dude who would want to eat the raw eyeballs of his enemies, in order to steal their soul/gain their power.
Well actually, most available evidence shows that runners tend to have a lower incidence of knee arthritis than the general population. This might not be because of running per se but because runners tend to have lower body masses, though even when controlling for this runners tend to be healthier. I’m not as well…
goddamn.
Coach Kelly: You know, our job is acquiring talent, not getting rid of talent.
Harbaugh is really thriving since leaving the 49ers. Ten-win season, successful sub-tweeting and shade-throwing.
I bet Harbaugh had to spend 40 minutes throwing a baseball at a wall in order to cool down.
“In college, I was up under this microscope everywhere I went.”
In college, I could try to do that, and no matter what, it would mean something, but everyone just wanted something from me. Give me that, Jameis, gimme, gimme, gimme.
No, just because it’s Oklahoma City.
Pending an improbable exoneration from the internal peer review, everything [Arnold] had worked for is now gone, likely never to be recovered, ever again. Recovery, if there is any, appears to be something deserved only by the Twitter critics of a freelancer whose future writing career will apparently be, like the way…
I don’t agree about Deadspin having a disdain for running. Currently on the Fittish front page there are links to 6 (!!) stories about the trials, including this one. I’ve read more coverage of the trials here than anywhere else. At the risk of sounding like a fanboy, I’ve really appreciated Sarah Barker’s coverage of…
Can we get one thing straight. Most casual runners can’t even run 26.2 miles, so just the achievement itself amazing.
Came out of nowhere? That’s an extremely bold statement towards a guy who won the Bowerman in 2009.
I took this on the third or fourth lap. Meb looked to be managing the heat much more easily on lap two, but it looks like Rupp was too strong for him or Meb eased off a little when he knew he had second in hand.
They have to wait 4 more years for one competition when they have like 3 shots at it in their entire life?
