So you've never kept a running log, or any other record of your workouts? You really don't see how such quantitative information might be helpful to people who are quantitatively inclined?

Totally. Boston is a strategic marathon, with Heartbreak looming large from the gun. Meb ran this like an absolute chess match. Yeah, he had some help — from Hall, who didn't chase, and from Boit, whose breakaway allowed Meb to distance himself from the pack after the Kenyans figured he wasn't a threat. But the…

This was a nice summary. Meb needed almost every second of that minute lead he built up. Had the Kenyans been able to actually see him, they probably would have tracked him down. Flanagan learned the hard way that if you're going to break the pack, you better really break them.

Interesting that you should question another commenter's ability to comprehend basic English and then post this masterpiece of prose, all while discussing hypocrisy. Fuck outta here idiot, indeed.

I don't understand how the article that you cited shows that Mike Woodson didn't figure out his team's best lineup — not that he did, but the 538 article just points out that the Knicks would have lost more had the whole league been 100% healthy.

I'm not sure what's worst: the comments complaining about the coverage, the comments (like this one) that complain about the coverage on behalf of others, or the comments (like mine) that complain about the comments complaining about the coverage.

Do you even bowl, bro?

If this information is new to me, as someone who has followed this story from the beginning on this site and elsewhere, that kind of contradicts your initial point that it is not newsworthy.

It is not a cut-and-paste. There is new information here that, while does not change the overall narrative, certainly emphasizes it.

If the experience of Pirates fans is any indication with coming excruciatingly close to a championship before falling into futility, this guy can take comfort in the fact that his son will have the opportunity to break the same window again. After he's out of college.

Holy shit. She said it would unravel the Dodgers. You're saying she's right about that? What the fuck is going on in these comments?

Could've sworn Johnny Football was white, but maybe every computer and television I've seen him on was broken.

If you just got tired of how long the season was over the years, fine. But Selig didn't make the season 162 games long, and that hasn't changed for over 50 years. And if you're arguing that baseball is less interesting because of one extra playoff round, I think you're the only one.

I find it a little ironic that, due to ongoing third-party technical issues, I cannot star this comment on an article about ongoing third-party technical issues.

Okay, I see what you are saying. Thanks.

Color me skeptical. The damage caused by a punch is not only a function of force — it's also a function of the area over which that force is distributed, as well as the time it takes to decelerate the fist. It would seem to me that boxing gloves better distribute the force of a blow over a wider area and act to…

I am admittedly hopelessly unromantic, but that is really fucking stupid.

You guys are totally getting sued for this.

AUGH. No. Language has context. The same word can have a completely different meaning depending on how and by whom it's used. The problem with white people using racial slurs in the same way as minorities that have reclaimed them is that it allows them to use those slurs to disguise contempt for minorities that they'd…
