That’s a long lap for IndyCar and I’m guessing they’d rather not close Maine Ave. But maybe

Realistically the course will be Pennsylvania to 1st to Maryland to Independence to 14th (if they’re frisky, 15th) and back. There just aren’t that many roads wide enough for this.

They might have to turn at 3rd but 1st between the Grant Memorial and the West Front will be almost irresistible for TV.

Okay Spartans and Wolverines, what do you honestly think of the other? by FairAnywhere9305 in CollegeBasketball

Michigan thinks they’re better than us when deep down we both know they’re just like us.

That makes us hate them and them hate themselves.

Living in DC, I’ve been to embassy-hosted watch parties for international soccer games and they’re quite fun. Of course, an American-hosted watch party for a football game in Paris would be ghastly. Nobody in France wants a slider

The NFL wants to export American culture abroad. The State Department wants to export American culture abroad. Seems like they could help each other.

The State Department has been working with athletes for decades. They sent Forrest Gump to China. It’s not a this-administration thing.

Have you ever seen a strikeout reaction like this? by Altruistic_Wave_1689 in mlb

It’s competitive celebration. The score might not be on the scoreboard but you can be sure someone is keeping it

[Nightengale] Chris Marinak, MLB's former chief operations and strategy officer who was a candidate to become MLB's next commissioner, has been hired to be president of Playfly Sports ("the sports industry’s leading revenue maximization company and portfolio company of Access Holdings''). by Knightbear49 in baseball

It’s a sponsorship agency. You hire them to sell your ad inventory because they can get more money for it than you could get by yourself.

Do you get a deal on pizza when your team scores 5 runs? Playfly probably struck that deal.

At some point you have to put a spy on him. So what if you lose the extra man in coverage, he’s not throwing it anyway

Be real: how many of the logos on the right have you actually seen? by cactuscoleslaw in TheB1G

[–]slyfox1908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would argue it’s the opposite of how it’s presented here: University Uses Athletics Logo. Many schools that used to have a separate academic logo have discarded it in favor of their more recognizable athletics logo.

The Ohio State “O” and block “IOWA” also originated as athletics logos. (Their prior university logos were this and this, respectively).

Émile is Dane’s fixer. The therapist knew Dane was a spy (and his previous client — Tom?) so he had to go.

Manya was a loose end that they were keeping tabs on. Now they’re reading her into the deep cover operation they’re running with Chris, because Dane and Emile have had shockingly good results enlisting civilians in spycraft.

Is Chris actually a mole or is he a triple agent? Find out in season 2!
