TWO men broke the 2-hour barrier for the marathon today in London.
Both were wearing a super-light, 3.4-ounce shoe that has yet to be released. Adidas' head of running told me how they made it:

Really exceptional story from @JoshuaChaffin about an agonizing ordeal. Hard to read but humanely reported and full of voices who wanted to talk. This is how it's done.

Watching sports on TV is annoying and pricey...is it the government's job to fix it? Plus this whole brouhaha is really about something else: the NBA made the NFL look like a good deal, and the NFL is coming for a raise.

Dusty May: "I'll tell you what we say in recruiting — that we have what we feel is the academic profile of Stanford with the passion of SEC football for our athletic department as a whole, and usually those two things aren't merged."

@AlexReimer1 never heard of this "new yorker" but i'm told the @wsj is quite good.

I want to subscribe to either the New Yorker or WSJ. I was using the internet archive to read them but that doesn’t work anymore. Which one should I subscribe to? I’m primarily interested in paying for smart features & reporting on culture and trends.

I'm not sure about having the Replacements on the space station.

A settlement on the moon. Replacements for the International Space Station. NASA leaders rolled out a flurry of updates on their major programs, ahead of debuting a budget request to Congress that would allocate funding to its new wish list. on.wsj.com/4rSkHOc

I'd say Top 5. Something about winning a brutally long race everyone knows you want to win and also where you are going to attack - then you crash, chase back, attack where everyone knows you will attack, and still win.

Two years ago, the College of Biblical Studies lost a basketball game by 141 points and everyone laughed and covered it.
"A hard time," says then-player Victoria Henson.
The other day, they stunned the No. 1 team in their conference.

@jaycaspiankang @yeahhiga i think it's also a way of -- in increasingly isolated communities -- purchasing a social life for a kid.

the book I've got coming out soon is about how so much of child raising for the middle classes is built off this model, how this leads to alienation and loss of community (and doesn't produce better athletes, mathematicians, or anything). Stay tuned.

Travel baseball has turned into: Pay tons of money to play. Pay to travel. Pay to stay. Pay to watch your own kid. And somehow… this became normal. Will it ever change or just get worse?

@Larstickle @tricknole this is correct on House (NIL does have lots of state laws, part of the craziness.) House was an attempt to avoid crippling loss but also set terms (it's "revenue-share" technically not pay for play, enjoy that parsing)
English
@tricknole @jasongay Name the law. There was a settlement, but there is no law that mandates payment of student athletes. The intent of NIL was to allow athletes to capitalize on their marketability because they weren't allow to work or profit off their success. This isn't that.

Trump's college sports panel was a zenith example of the "we're all trying to find the guy who did this" hot dog suit meme.
