Speaking only as a reader, I found diminishing returns in the increasingly-deeper dive into analytics, after...say 2010. The interesting interesting stuff had been solved (or couldn’t be solved with existing data), and we were in “angels on the head of a pin” territory. The audience for hard core statistical analysis…

“It’s not about competition,” he said as he caressed the trophy.

Safety in a sprint race?

Ohio is still quite neighborly.
SoCal, where this lady lives, is most certainly not.

Only the slightest retreat from one’s own butthole reveals the possibility of value in associating with people not completely like one’s self.

N0-Ad is actually the best.

He just wants to get paid on the deal (in addition to his son’s fee).

Exercise is free too. But I don’t notice a wave of unemployed joggers. Nor, TBH, is my local library full.

The alt flight was at 3:00 PM the next day. So you’d blow a whole day of work - not trivial.

The act itself, the CEO’s statement, the employees’ anonymous comments, and the company’s tweets combine to show a company with major culture problems and zero regard for their customers. It’s clearly systemic.

“Those Bostonians should’ve just paid the damnned tea tax like the law required. Throwing boxes into the bay like 4 year olds...”

We are a nation of joiners and toadies, and I will put a huge amount of money on a very strong correlation with joining a sports team, at least among men.

There’s a little toady in most of us, but IMO, the bigger issue is that people get sick of seeing their jerkass co-workers “get over on the man,” which in practice just means “there’s more work for me.” I think that’s why you see less solidarity among workers than might be imagined from the ivory towers of Deadspin HQ.

I really encourage you to try geting under the bar for some full squats. FWIW, I’m *always* creaky and sore when I start my (bar only) warmups, but I feel much better as the bar gets some weight, and have zero knee pain under my full work set.

Cutting and packaging meat is literally their job.

I think the straight guys are compensating for the awkwardness of touching each other in a nude (or nude-adjacent) state.

Two other random observations:

- I’ve never seen anything sexual in a locker room, but a lot of gyms have signs (“No funny business in the steam room,” basically).

Jesus Christ I’m old.

I remember Starcade.

Staying hydrated is important for a pro athlete . . . who won’t play another competitive game for seven months.

“Neither police officers nor management at Sammy’s Grill held Ervin accountable in any way for his words at the time, Johnson said on Facebook.”

How would that work, exactly?

And before you answer, remember that the same standard will be used when you say something that offends a policeman or the management of some…

Yeah, okay. So what? *You* know who you voted for, right?
