He should really stick to sports.

Farah is probably also capable of running the fastest time out of those fields, so it probably wouldn’t have yielded a different result (as far as the winner goes).

Rupp could probably make a lot more in marathon appearance fees (not even including prize money) than he would make on the track.

I don’t understand the first few sentences of this post. On the left side you have the third baseman and shortstop, and on the right side you have the second baseman and first baseman. That is balanced.

track geek here. 4x1 handoffs are typically done right to left, left to right, etc. She’s probably not left-handed, or if she is, that isn’t why she was passing it that way.

People have said the same thing about Wade Boggs.

I almost think he does this so they WON’T fire him. If he would shut up and not be an asshole for a couple months they could let him go quietly. They probably don’t want to take such a strong stance on the issue.

I learned to drive on a 1988. Years earlier when my family first purchased it used, I found M.C. Hammer’s Too Legit To Quit tape in the glovebox. Awful car but it will always have a place in my heart. Maybe yours just needed the tape deck.

I’m a runner and cannot stand people who run in the road when there is a sidewalk. I assume it comes from people reading an article in Runners World about concrete being 10000x harder than asphalt or something. Just get more cushioned shoes if that’s a problem for you.

Dammit, I thought the headline said “SENT it to U2 again.” That would have been a much better story.

True story:

So basically, cutting out alcohol doesn’t work because people end up not actually cutting it out. Who would have thought? Other things that don’t work when you stop trying them: exercising and eating more vegetables.

Fun Fact! Legend has it that Benjamin Booker was “discovered” by the insufferable White Stripes’ Jack White when Booker recorded some songs in this contraption White has set up outside his office or something. The songs pipe into White’s place and he ran down there to check out who it was, and the rest, as they say,…

Yes, you should think that, because I am aware he’s a jokester. That doesn’t make the song any less terrible, especially in a list of 16 “great” covers. I appreciate that he’s able to laugh at himself with things like the alternate ending version of Come Pick Me Up and the song Walkedypants, but don’t tell me…

His great grandfather was former MLB infielder Sparky Adams. Led the senior circuit in doubles in 1931 and sported a career WAR of 15.9.

Is This It might be my all-time favorite album and I love Whiskeytown/Ryan Adams, but that Last Nite cover is truly terrible.

I lived in the Philippines (Metro Manila) for almost a year total over the past 2 years, traveled all around and never once was pressured to pay a bribe. My longest interaction with the police was drinking some Emperador wtih a couple off duty officers. Not saying it never happens but I found myself in a lot of…

Norm, to this day, if i walk into a restaurant and see a marlin on the wall, I just grab my wife and leave. Now on the other hand, you have the Indians, a group of untrustworthy savages....

In high school I set up the TV in my room as an alarm clock, so it would turn on every day at 6:45am or whatever time. Most days it seemed to turn on just as the local news jingle/tune was playing. For years afterward anytime I would hear that tune (at all times of day) I would get the same sick feeling in my stomach…

you can change the settings on your friends list so that people can only see the mutual ones. that should do it.
