I've only been to one Red Bulls game b/c it's just not worth my time to trek out there, especially b/c there isn't anything to do in the area. So it's more than two hours of travel for a two-hour game with not that great of atmosphere.

Yes, but could Rasheed Wallace beat him? Maybe with a tire iron.

Does that factor in reaction time as well? Bolt's clock starts on the gun, at the combine it starts when they start, right?

They wait until it has aired on the West Coast before putting it up.

I'm almost on board with you there about the point value of the Olympics in the rankings being equal to slams, but to truly be equal to those, it needs to be five-set matches throughout the tournament. However, I think that's too much tennis to play between Wimbeldon and the US Open.

Can't Will Smith and Tommy Lee just show up already with their flashy things and do their fucking business? Excising JoePa from existence all piecemeal like this is excruciating.

Exactly. Think of it as a pathetic loser tax.

yeah, he wasn't too sure I was going to move. I saw that look a lot when I went back through all my photos from the day.

"No, it's not quite superhuman, but it is quirky."

When I went to the Tour in 2005, in the Pyrenees, I stood in the middle of the road to take photos, then jumped out of the way. I was clipped by a team car on one occasion. The car was going really slow and I was drunk—as was everyone on the mountain—so we all just laughed it off. And when I checked my camera after, I…

I was hoping the last line of their statement would be, "THE ARISTOCRATS!"
