I saw this on the news the other day:

The Great Wall Marathon in China, which celebrated its 22nd anniversary on Saturday (May 17), saw 1,219 runners take part in one of the most challenging races of the year. The Great Wall Marathon includes about 3 to 4 miles on the Great Wall itself. The course also includes sections on the Great Wall Huangyaguan section, with 5,164 steps and 4 kilometers of uphill climb. The full marathon (26.2 miles) includes two sections on the Great Wall, while the half marathon (13.1 miles) and 8.5k fun run include one section

Just sayin':

1. Who know that there is actually a "marathon" that included 3 to 4 miles on the Great Wall?
2. Hell, I couldn't run a mile in under 6 minutes in high school. I'm not sure about traveling to China these days; however, that does look like a cool event.

Yeah not buying that. I just don't have a good feeling about this kid. No solid facts, just a feeling. I am thinking OSU will not regret missing on this one.

first year of HS ball ended for him Friday - played pretty well. He finished the year 1st in OBP, walks, and steals, 2nd in avg, 2nd in RBI's - really grew as a player quite a bit this season.

football mini camp in a few weeks, but now just morning lifting, nothing afterschool - going to be weird to have evenings back

congrats to your son!

Not like this is new news, it's called 'the world's oldest profession' for a reason. Also called a victimless crime, unless as suggested above, it's with underage (girls and boys). And, as one who has been hustled (wasn't smart enough to figure it out at the time), the 'bait' can be quite alluring.

Dropped AppleTV this past week and signed up for Max. Definitely a good decision on my part, if I do say so myself;-)

Fiesta (Glendale), Rose for the Buckeyes

Peach (old stadium in ATL) when it was a second tier kind of Bowl but not for Buckeyes.

The only Bowl I’d likely travel to again is Rose. The rest are all just meh. Glendale in particular can go fuck itself back to the hell it is a portal to. It’s fucking cursed.

Glendale is the Ross-Ade of the west. They both have GOT TO BE mass burial grounds of some sort.

Gosger fucked up my exotics. Douche

I don’t know where you got this idea, but Brian Bosworth was suspended for the 1987 Orange Bowl due to a positive steroid test

Just sayin': Good catch, my mistake......

I do appreciate people pointing out my errors. 1) maybe I won't make the same mistake again, and 2) shows I'm not wasting my time posting as someone is actually reading my posts....

The NCAA passed legislation banning the use of any "performance-enhancing" substances in 1973, according to NCAA director of sports sciences Frank Uryasz. Uryasz said the ban included steroids, though it didn't single them out specifically.

• Initial Ban: The NCAA passed legislation in 1973 that banned the use of any "performance-enhancing" substances, which included anabolic steroids.
• No Enforcement: However, this initial ban was largely unenforceable as there was no drug testing program in place until 1986.
• Drug Testing Program: The NCAA started its drug-testing program in 1986, making the steroid ban more concrete as athletes could now be tested and penalized for violations.

I'd need a little "help" to watch an NBA game, too.

Not a smart move, especially considering that Peterson's former teammate, Will Smith, was shot to death in a road rage incident. Small guns can easily take down large men ... and you never know who's carrying.

This. CCW's are everywhere. Hell Kenny could have been packing. The balls to spit at a large black male.

TLDR; we suck as a species.

"The stakes just got even bigger": Lacrosse stars share their excitement for LA28​

Lacrosse is back on the Olympic stage at LA28, and the world’s best are buzzing with excitement. Discover why this dynamic sport promises unforgettable moments in Los Angeles.

For centuries, lacrosse has been more than just a game. Born from the sacred traditions of Indigenous peoples of North America, it has been a symbol of unity, competition, and cultural pride.

Now, at the Olympic Games LA 2028, lacrosse is poised to take on one more identity: an Olympic sport.

Lacrosse made its Olympic debut as a medal sport in St. Louis in 1904, and London 1908, later appearing as a demonstration sport in Amsterdam in 1928, Los Angeles in 1932, and London in 1948. But despite its impressive combination of speed, strategy, and physicality, it has since spent decades on the fringes of the Olympic Games, though adored widely by practitioners worldwide.

With its inclusion for LA28, players and fans alike are brimming with excitement. The sport returns in a fittingly electrifying, fast-paced sixes format, offering a fresh twist that promises to attract new audiences.

For many, it’s an opportunity to witness the sport at its best, while stars from around the world play for the podium, and, hopefully, inspire future generations along the way.

Just sayin':

1. I just noticed that lacrosse will be an Olympic sport in 2028. I'm guessing that will ultimately contribute to making college lacrosse even more popular.
2, OK how much different is the "sixes format" than the 10 player team Ohio State uses?

Click to expand...

1. Hope to grow the game through this… always. Anything we can do to put our game in front of eyes is a good thing.
2. Same difference between Rugby and Sevens. It will be much smaller field, and much faster. It will resemble something that looks like lacrosse but will have elements of the box game as well.

As a purist, I’m not a fan. I wish they would just let our game be played as we play it… as one who wants to share the game, I’m willing to see how it goes. If we make our game more accessible and it draws people to the game, all good by me.

I have particular interest in this Olympics. I’ll leave it at that for now, but I’m glad to have our sport, and I pray it’s history, represented on the world’s stage.

I still have to watch the last one (episode 12) tonight, and there are a lot of story arcs to try and tie up in 42 minutes or so, so I'm interested to see how that all turns out and how it leads into Rogue One, which I'll probably watch again this weekend.

They really made some interesting decisions in this season, and in general. One is the rise of LH's prominence as the prime (young, besides Mon Mothma) female character...in season 1, it was really Vel, but she's been reduced to a bit part this season, other than tying up her love story with Cinta. I really like LH obviously, I think everyone does, and I hope her career takes off after this series. I like the actress who plays Vel too, I've seen her in plenty of other stuff, so I was a bit disappointed we didn't get more from her in S2. The rant she had against the French frat boy didn't really lead anywhere either, which I thought was too bad...they could have done more with that.

Andor has been back, but still isn't the primary focus of any of season 2. It's been Mon...and Syrill...and Meero...and LH/Luthen. Even Krennic at times. But not him. Which has been OK, except for the fact I thought he was wasted in the weakest (and probably only) terrible arc in season 2, using the bunch of useless goofs to introduce Yavin. I assume he will play a big role in episode 12, as he will have to lead into Rogue 1.

I too would love a Saw Guerrera series, but I don't know that Disney will ever be willing to push a drug-addled murdering anarchist as the lead character in a series. I think he's probably by far the most interesting though. He, the Mandalorian Armoress, Thrawn...some characters just leave you wanting more.

Sources: Mavericks plan to draft Cooper Flagg, won't trade No. 1 pick​

After making the biggest leap in NBA draft lottery history to land the No. 1 overall pick, the Dallas Mavericks plan to select Duke forward Cooper Flagg and will not entertain the possibility of trading away the pick for a proven superstar, sources told ESPN.

The Mavs had only a 1.8% chance of winning the lottery after being eliminated in the Western Conference's final play-in game to end a tumultuous, injury-ravaged season.

Meh. He'd probably just lost a bocce game and was a little hot under the collar.

I once made the mistake of beating an Italian boomer at bocce on his own court.

Bad idea. Just like you always let the wookie win in star.wars chess
