Albert Burneko, a handshake truther!

And they have to prostitute celebrity. I enjoy watching Usain Bolt, because he’s incredible, but van Niekerk’s 400 was far, far more impressive than a 9.8 100. Van Niekerk’s 400 might be the greatest race I’ve ever seen.

Absolutely. And NBC makes almost no effort to explain the sports. There are basically three rules in the 100, 200, and 400: 1. don’t false start; 2. stay in your lane; 3. the runner who crosses the finish line first wins. See? That wasn’t so hard, was it? But they can’t even manage that, let alone explaining strategy.

I have an idea. We will, we will retrofit these pools to effectively treat our wastewater to decrease the incidence of waterborne illnesses.

Krusty.

Farah ran a fantastic race, and did have much more time to recover, but still. Zola Budd was in the lead; it’s not like Decker lead and Budd intentionally gave her a flat.

I’ve been thinking about this race since I watched Mo Farah in the 10,000.

I don’t know. This all seems a bit highbrow for me.

The ‘72 Dolphins could learn a ton from Michael Johnson.

Smart move. Anyone who’s ever watched Mad Men knows Roger Sterling always has some money in his pocket.

Florida has 20.3 million people. Give Boomers from New York a few more years to retire, and Florida could hit 24 million soon.

Fun fact: The combined population of only the New York and Los Angeles Metropolitan Statistical Areas is 33.5 million.

Whether it’s you or a loved one who is ill, I hope everything’s going well.

Are you talking about the pool or Ryan Lochte’s hair?

He said, sir, the water itself was a good healthy
