Just incredible. '08 Trials worth a mention but hard to separate the Oregon connection from the performance in that one.

Absolutely filthy race by Lutkenhaus. This kid (he's a sophomore in high school!) is ridiculous. I mean that as positively as possible. One to watch for sure. #USATFOutdoors

This article does a nice job getting at the ethics (theirs and ours) when it comes to viewing the Kenyan "doping problem." www.nytimes.com/2025/07/29/w...

Some Kenyan Runners See Doping as a Path to Glory, and a Daily Meal

Officials acknowledge that Kenya has a doping problem, but many athletes who are seeking an edge also want a way out of poverty.

Following a disastrous 2022 season, Sean McVay admitted he was contemplating leaving coaching just one year after becoming the NFL’s youngest Super Bowl-winning head coach.

A phone call from Chris Petersen changed that.

Dodgers broadcast was discussing the science behind the perception of time between children and adults. After hearing the explanation, the color commentator pauses and asks, "Am I gonna feel any better?"

Andy Pages then smashes a dinger into space, thus ending the existential crisis on commentary.
