Great bike riding, better announcing.
“Oh my god, stay on your bike, Danny.”
“Whaaat the hell? How does Danny sit down with balls that big?!?”
…and track fans get the NBC goon squad. Thanks.
Sad and shocking. Running world lost an immense talent.
Nike Commercials
Inspired by this thread on LetsRun.com (the finest source of elite running news anywhere, btw), I’m going to post some good Nike commercials. Some I’d seen before and really liked, and some were new ones I found on that thread. Hope you enjoy.
It’s stuff like this that reinforces the “football admins are power-tripping idiots” stereotype. Use your brain, sheesh.
Referees from the Pacific Northwest Football Officials Association used the colorful the whistles to raise awareness for breast-cancer research, and donated their game checks to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Sounds like there isn’t really a whole lot there you could be angry at, right?
But Todd Stordahl, commissioner of the Washington Officials Association, said they didn’t ask for permission. “They chose not to ask for permission, not to go the right route,” Stordahl told KING-TV, saying the move set a precedent. “It sends the wrong message to kids that are playing the game. ‘If they broke the rules, why can’t I do the same.’”
Apparently, Todd Stordahl has neither a heart nor a brain.
Their top ten list of sports drug busts. Interesting that the list is 9 athletes, and then just an entry for “Cycling.”
To be fair, it does also mention the 100+ baseball players than have anonymously tested positive, but they don’t get their own number.
