he’s a threat to the playing surface w that take

If memory serves me correctly, you were Rookie of the Year that season.

to the folks on here hating because the cyclist never “worked” a day in his life: your emotional reaction to this story has everything to do with your own internal state and your own dissatisfaction with some part of yourself. deep down, i bet several of you are jealous that you chose not to lead this kind of…

The controversy around Miller’s dive proves NBC’s feckless and incompetent stewardship as the primary broadcaster of American track & field.

Not only the most impressive record, but the most impressive performance as well (in my opinion). Running from lane 8, there was never even a moment when other runners were in his peripheral vision. That means he dusted them on both halves of the race, as Michael Johnson pointed out. He lead in the first 200 enough so…

He just means that through your career as a sprinter you are working at getting faster, and faster, and faster. You should be improving through the running seasons. But eventually you get older and you lose that kind of performance and you start going backwards. It takes longer for muscles to recover, and they don’t…

I know a lot of track people that considered this the record they thought they would never see broken. I can’t wait to see how low this kid can eventually go.

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

Nah. From the outside of soccer fandom, I get the impression that Ronaldo is a humorless twat, while Zlatan is a delightfully arrogant bastard. Both men have massive egos and reputations, but Zlatan appears to have and be much more fun with his.

Pacquiao: No more talk! It’s time for me to fight drugs!

Perhaps if Riley convinced his billionaire owner to sacrifice by paying the luxury tax the year before in order to keep the team together, he could have better convinced a not-billionaire that everybody there was sacrificing. Instead, they traded away assets important to James to avoid paying the repeater tax.

Bill Simmons is good. He has earned a reputation as someone who can recognize and empower talent. He has a good sense of where the market for sports media is, to his credit. People give him some shit for the writing that he actually does himself, but I thought it was good for a long time.. until maybe just a few years…

As much as I hate Grayson Allen, I hope he makes it as an NBA rotation player just so he and Dellavedova can one day bite each other’s noses off in a game.
