Somehow, your takedown is even lazier. You wrote maybe 200 words. I don’t think you have what it takes to last to middle-age as a columnist.

Thanks, super helpful!
Wow, that seems like a pretty big gulf between Ethiopia/Kenya and the rest that 7 of the first 8 were those two teams. That scoring is an interesting dynamic to it that I didn’t know existed. So there are 6 runners per team (max) and the top 4 are counted to your total? Or am I misreading the part about the U.S.…
Do you want to read the other conversation I’m having with Slow Mutant? I don’t follow competitive cross country, and I don’t know anything about it. Slow Mutant took the time to explain how this is beyond a ‘basic fuck up’ as I put it, and I learned something from them. You were a tremendous asshole from the…
That makes sense, thanks. I guess my follow up, since I don’t know how the points system works for these, would be if he and his team would’ve been better off if he was more conservative and went for a time he knew would get him a top-15 finish and the silver or gold, or if he needed to go for broke to get a higher…
Do you truly think you were being helpful? I read a story about a guy that lead for a long part of the race and ended up 30th. You linked back to that story in the comment section of it, and you’re still not telling me what exactly I missed.
It explains what his body is going through after he outpaced himself. Do you have an article explaining what my car goes through when it runs out of gas, too?
“It was glorious, too, because Cheptegei was a hometown hero, a Ugandan beating perennial powerhouses Kenya and Ethiopia on Ugandan soil, even leaving his mentor—countryman Stephen Kiprotich—in the dust.”
Off the top of my head, I’m blanking, but do you know any players that have been injured by these types of plays?

That article is 9 years old and references even older sources. It’s also about implementing a housing first national plan similar to the USA’s, which Canada now has as of 2011.
That’s one unsourced set of numbers, which any quick Google search will tell you are hardly set in stone.
His head must weigh 20 pounds. Look at how damn big that thing is sitting up there, it’s completely absorbed his neck.
Do you think that sarcasm is also a pox upon humanity?
“It’s not entirely clear if the ball hit De Sciglio’s chest or part of his elbow...”
I’m officially never going to understand the rules to Cricket.
“For the vast majority of the game, close out-of-bounds calls are made one way, which focuses mostly on which player caused the ball to go out of bounds rather than who actually touched it last. Then, when these plays come under video review at the end of games, refs are forced to make pedantically correct calls on…
I’m starting to suspect there’s a cultural bubble in Waco.
