Right, but those are the men’s 1500, not the decathlon 1500. The decathlon 1500 is the right comparison. Adam Eaton broke the decathlon 1500 world record in the Brazil at about 4:15. More than half of the field ran slower than 4:30. Are you really saying that if LeBron were slotted into the decathlon finals in the…

No. I do not think he could do it. We’re talking a very different type of stamina. In the last Olympics well fewer than half of those guys (elite track athletes, every one of whom would embarrass LeBron in a race at any distance) broke 4:30 in the Olympic decathlon finals. You are telling me that LeBron would be…

True fact. You win. Still:

There is a Bob’s Burgers recipe book. You’re welcome.

Most world class decathletes who have been involved in track and field their entire lives and who actually run a ton as part of their training don’t run 4:30 in the 1500. There is ZERO chance LeBron could break 5 minutes in the mile. Zero.

Oh, I totally agree. Going to a sporting event in another team’s jersey should not require courage. But neither should interactions with a person in another team’s jersey. Friendly smack talk, sure. But violence shouldn’t be on the table.

Look, maybe people wearing any gear at all represent “puds” (I have jerseys and still get the argument). But if you are a Dodgers fan and you buy tickets to a D-Backs game in which they are playing the Dodgers, why are you a “pud” for wearing your team’s jersey for the game you paid for?

College football and basketball “wasn’t [sic] nearly as popular before they instituted rules that prevented players from going directly to pro leagues from high school.” Citation? (The ten highest rated national championship games in college basketball all took place prior to 1994. There are lots of reasons for that,…

You are engaged in some world-class point-missing. That the Browns are elite is my exact point — that is why I point out that they would slaughter Alabama. And that is also precisely why I used college football and basketball — because they are the most popular college sports but are FAR below the NFL and NBA. Yet we…

Sure — but by that logic no one should watch anything but the highest level of sports. College sports are garbage in quality compared to the pros. High school sports are garbage compared to college. The Browns are garbage compared to the Patriots. The quality of the women when they play other women is incredible. That…

Or it is like different contexts within the same sport and we are making silly analogies to fulfill our political ideology. Do men get paid less if they win in straight sets? If not, the length of play is quite obviously irrelevant to the issue of play.

At track and field meets marathoners run much longer distances than 100 meter runners ....

Stop being a purity trolling asshole. It isn’t “telling” except inasmuch as so many people disagree with you, and you seem to so very much want to accuse them of something (why is it “telling”? we want to know) rather than acknowledge that you fucked up the landing on this one. You can try to passive aggressively…

Scarodinger’s Cat and the Brad(ford) Effect.

This wasn’t a catastrope of a game for him, though, and it happened early. Heisman Trophy candidates, like teams in the top 10, can afford to have a bad game early more than they can afford to have one late. If this is his worst game, he’ll be ok, especially since some of the other frontrunners either lost yesterday…

DND? There seems like an obvious potential reason: Low hit points.

I think part of it is that they feel like they’ve covered that ground. But also once the academic advisor left it removed a legitimate star of that show. And the coach DEFINITELY wanted them to come back, and he is such a shit sipping troglodyte that I’m glad they said thanks but no. Kansas should offer a different…

Season three is moving to a different school, in Kansas, I believe.
