lolwut? No. If the other skaters skate was inside the black markers (to kick her hand inside the black markers) the other skater would be disqualified for cutting the corner / leaving the track. What video are you watching?

I’m surprised this thread hasn’t gotten any of those creepy pedophile apologists who always show up to go “Umm...well AKSHUALLY...” *licks lips* “TECHNICALLY, the age of consent is 16, so she’s LEGAL, morons!” ...having it completely pass over their heads that the 16-year age of consent is generally, if not legally,…

Well...it isn’t racist. So I guess that’s progress as far as sports talk goes.

you forgot the *ROLL TIDE* tag at the end.

what do you expect from a guy who married his own daughter

give ESPN time. They’ll they’ll be throwing cash at her to do their Bodies Issue the day after she turns 18. .

I think the real crime is that you’ve got a grown man referring to another grown man a “P-Con”. The fact they are also creeps was a given.

Who knows better what a hot piece of ass looks like than a giant piece of shit?

“What? It was a COMPLIMENT!”

I know only the Dutch agree with me on this but the big oval is sooo much better than short track.

I really want to know: what’s your point?

Short-track speed skating is such bullshit because of this crap that happens ALL THE TIME. In one of the events in 2002 this Australian dude won the gold because he wasn’t nearly as good as everyone else, hung back, and waited for crashes in EVERY SINGLE ROUND. Such bullshit!

This is why I don’t like short track speed skating. I know long course can be boring, but at least it isn’t repeatedly settled by multi-skater crashes. It looks more fun, but there’s so much unpredictability once the skaters get bunched in terms of talent.

If Pro/Rel is off the table than eliminate the lower leagues. They effectively serve no purpose and US Soccer pretty much ignores them anyway. If you have lower tier leagues than they must have some sort of connection to the top league to be relevant and provide a reason for their fans to care if they win. Winning a…

The NBA isn’t trying to break into the upper echelon of professional basketball leagues which already consists of numerous far superior non-American leagues.

Pro/rel has its supporters and detractors, but one reason MLS is so resistant to it is because of its structure as a single entity, which it seems clear is…

I don’t get this fetish for relegation. American sporting culture doesn’t involve relegation, and the belief that incorporating it would magically improve US soccer is straight out of a cargo cult.

“Both sides of the sporting isle”

This is why, early on, I hitched my wagon to cool artists, like The Cure, Kanye West, The Strokes, Gorillaz, and The Velvet Underground. I would include my favorite band—Death Cab for Cutie—but not even I can say with a straight face that they’re cool. I love you, but you’re not cool.

You realize Rand Paul has consistently fought to cut the military budget, right?
