Josh Kerr has broken the mile record before a stadium of cheering fans. Worth watching Roger Bannister break the 4 minute mark in 1954 in a lower key setting. Still an inspiration https://t.co/5iLUUjozep

The problem *could* be solved by tinkering with the rules (including the size of the goal). Possible sources of inspiration: a) Australian rules football b) 23-Man Squamish.

Another obvious, incurable problem with soccer is it’s inherently susceptible to referee interference because its’ so low-scoring. In a basketball game if a ref takes away a score with a bum call it’s not such a big deal–there will be 80 more scores. But every game I saw in the

I was victim of a fender-bending hit-and-run in a VA suburb of DC and they gave the culprit 24 hours to change his mind (even after they tracked him down to his home). No such mercy for Pelosi.
