2nd quarter: we see LeBron has been cut by a camera.

Most youth leagues and AAU games I officiate play halves. High schools in Massachusetts played halves up until a few years ago when they adopted quarters. But none of those leagues ever played with different foul rules. Fouls carried over quarters in the same halves (mostly 7 for 1-and-1, 10 for two shots).

By rule, once the ball has successfully gone through the basket, and before the opposing team secures possession of ball for its throw-in, it’s a dead ball, and any team can call a timeout.

I tell my wife that my body is filled with so much love for her, the farts are my way of making more room for the love.

She feels differently.

I always found the British version to be set up more as a documentary, with Ramsay genuinely trying to help the restaurant and its owners, than the US version which just has the most obnoxious people just mugging for the cameras.

This post should be #1.

Correct. Mass. high school baseball uses a modified version of the official MLB rules, and this rule was one of the modifications.

It was expanded to the entire mound about ten or so years ago, at least from the high school level down. In Massachusetts, anyway.

The way the rule has been interpreted in Massachusetts refers to action after a live batted ball. If a fielder fakes receiving a throw and then applies an empty-glove tag to an incoming runner, causing the runner to slow down or even slide into the base (preventing further advancement), it’s treated as obstruction.

2006, last game of the season against Miami. I think it was a meaningless game, so Belichick let him do it. IIRC, he was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week.

It’s one of those inflatable balloons that looks like a giant hot dog. Fans blow them up and clap them together loudly. First used in the States back in 2002 when the Angels gave them out to fans for the World Series.

You and your toilet can share the same neti pot. Economical.

Did you find this in the Boston area? Because now I want some. Or some Polar.

Four years of A.P. French to learn it is a very inefficient language that uses 20 letters to pronounce eight.

If you’re a fan of Arkansas State baseball, there’s always Brandon Stuckenschneider.

Something something no football in Los Angeles.

Advantage by being closer? Sure. But it looks like his arm ends up doing more of a snap throw. To me, it doesn’t look like he has the momentum of the push-off behind him by that time, because his back foot is dragging, so I think he’d be losing velocity.

Can it be done without jumping up, and before the front leg hits the ground?

The MLB rules don’t explicity define “delivery”. They only say that it must start with the pitcher’s back foot touching the rubber (which he did), and the pitcher must make one step towards the plate (which he did), and throw the ball to home.

The ambiguous part included “any natural movement associated with his…
