And so it was on September 28 in the year of our lord 2016 AD that the anointed one did stepeth to the plate and, with one fell swoop, he doth smote the evil leather sphere, thus fulfilling the prophecy that he shall be the one to rise up and leadeth the righteous forces of the Metopolitians from the New Kingdom of…

They would still break it because they won’t know the AC is on.

Lawless played 10 seasons in the majors, and was an objectively bad baseball player.

You are taking my comment way too literally. The point is to have a line, either it’s legal or not, and no exemptions. The line will always be arbitrary. All our sports rules are arbitrary. WADA can go down your list, consult with athletes, and say yay or nay to any of those things.

I draw the line because evidence shows that the prevelance of conditions that are treated by drugs that offer a performance benefit is wayyy higher in athletes than in the general population. Additionally, a few whistleblowers have described the process by which they fake conditions to get TUEs. That’s enough evidence…

The prevalence of TUEs is a real story. It’s not about doping per se, but can we at least admit there’s a problem when over half of the very best athletes in the world - presumably pinnacles of health in the prime of their careers - need theraputic use exemptions because they’re just so goddamn unhealthy?

Everyone…

If you are a somewhat responsible person there is no reason at all to fear a credit card. In fact you should embrace having a credit card! I try to buy as much as possible with my credit card. Why you ask? Cash back bonus! I literally get hundreds of dollars per year for no reason at all other than using my credit…

More importantly, hotel tax money spent on a stadium is hotel tax money NOT spent on, say, anything else that it might be needed for.

Nah... I can understand the ‘no Mercedes’ requirement.

I would bet that they went about this the wrong way. I played a college sport where we routinely traveled with 36 or more players, plus coaches, equipment managers, etc, with everyone bringing at least 2 bags that matched identically to everyone else’s. We would all just wait by baggage claim, and as each bag came…

No one billing $125/hr is spending $134,500 on a car. I would think the billing rate should be in the $750-1000/hr range, hence $50-70/year in savings.

I’ve been saying this for quite some time. It stopped being about quality and became a game of how much crap we can cram into our cars that will inevitably fail after the lease period

We also have the woman who broke the decades old world record in the event last month but didn’t place top 3 at US Trials in June so had to watch from home.

This neglects the fact that the Ofili sisters are also FROM MICHIGAN (and chose to compete for GB because USA Track and Field qualifiers are so dang competitive). So we have the Top 4, really.
