great point. but the current-affected lanes could be lanes 1-4 in this example, and lanes 5-8 could be non-current affected and we’re already seeing the variable speed manifest. Or simply the long distances are more a wash because the water is swirling “circularly” in the pool so ALL lanes are current-affected and…

no...he’s not going an average of 10 MPH, because he spends more time going 5MPH than he does 15MPH. Say the race was 20 miles and the swimmers could keep their pace for that long of a distance. The steady 10MPH swimmer would finish in 2 hrs. The 5/15 swimmer would swim the 15MPH phase in less than an hour (40 minutes…

looks like she was inches away from being DQd for a lane violation, but I assume that’s only triggered when a part of the body touches ground over the line, as elbows frequently go over the line.

I was about to whip out speed-of-sound calculations to figure out if different start times could mess things up....but this makes more sense

you’re right...it’s not like the Olympics are in Australia or Sochi this year. It’s in the Americas. #showitlive

You should run the length of a football field, grab some horns, then go for a slower stroll. Outside.

I love me some horny funk. Also, big fan of Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds.

Mary was just the vessel

(meta comment: this periodic resurfacing of old articles on the front page is weird. I received a notification of a reply to a comment on an article I left 4 effing years ago. Also, I had no idea I had been reading deadspin that long:P)

inflation is essentially interest at the prime rate. and vice versa.

I thought a breast grazer was when you went to town on one with your mouth.

next you’re going to tell me that it’s not your shoulder he touches, but your ass

you must not have had a dairy queen in your hometown. That was our post-game destination.

it’s part of the title, which appears to have been here since the start, as the URL includes it (and the kinja cms tends to not include revisions of titles in revised urls)

or they might equally get “iced” by thinking they have to constrain their kick so much that they shank it wider than the current uprights. Any effect of narrowing the upright has on where exactly a given kick deviates from center is *likely* to be negligable. This is not like tennis where the goal of an individual…

I had initially mis-read your post as distance away the radar gun was when the speed was measured, not the distance from the plate that the ball was. My apologies. Still confused about Mathewson though (see edit above). Was it only a pitch that “got away” that was measured?
