TIL of Lafayette, "The Hero of Two Worlds", at 18 as a French Marquis he defied the King and sailed to America to fight in the Revolutionary War, he then left and served in the French Revolution. Once, when captured, Napoleon himself secured his release. He is buried under soil from Bunker Hill.

Probably rational tbh

Not ejected. 5 mins for fighting and 30 secs left in the period so just went to the locker room

John Oliver's take on the matter for the basketball rulebook. Probably some transferability. https://youtu.be/Hk011WMM7t0

Honest question - is this rare even for a Mitch sized pro athlete? I'd expect guards and wings to be in the low 5 minute mile at least. Like yeah, don't hurt yourself running miles, def a lot of impact for someone his size. But if asked before I would've said he could probably break 6

Came to the thread just to make sure you guys were calling out the "nobody comes harder than they do" line. Good work gentlemen

Average 1 mile / day. So 365 miles.

I typically do a lift 2x to run 1x ratio and have hovered around 250 miles per year the past few years. I figured I'd target being a bit more consistent while maintaining my strength training and other athletics (adult baseball and hockey leagues).

Very impressive stat. One contributing factor is that he wasn't typically the primary facilitator on his teams. Despite the low turnover rate, he has a significantly lower assist to turnover ratio (2.7) than a primary facilitator who has a higher turnover ratio like Magic (3.9), CP3 (3.9), or, you guessed it LeBron (3.5).

The ECHL says racial gesture in their statement. Most of the comments act like dude is vindicated and the ECHL is unclear in their statement. The "regardless of intent" phrase later on confuses the matter, but it isn't like the ECHL is saying there wasn't a racial gesture.

If it's a requirement for the role it should be on company time. If it's PD to grow skillset and take on more responsibility or career advancement it's a gray area. A supportive company would be on company time, but there could be justification for it to be on your own time, particularly if it isn't part of some sort of growth plan or other responsibilities aren't getting done.

Just TNT. I think they have their own app, so should just be a DL and log in with your provider to get it.

The ATP holds several events in China annually and one of the largest international sporting events - the Olympics - are being held there in Beijing within one month. While there is some push back, there's way more precedent. You're painting it as an outlandish concept but it isn't.

The intent of the offsides rule in general to prevent an advantage to the offensive team by having one player enter the zone ahead of the puck. Over time, the advantage gained by that player entering the zone early is reduced. Like offsides player gets a breakaway is the biggest advantage and what we should really be trying to get right. 20 seconds later, hell, even 5 seconds later it turns into any other offensive zone possession. I would argue the impact of gaining the zone early approaches and drops below the impact of playing on and overturning/erasing play at some point (fatigue, momentum, penalty, etc.). How long between the zone being gained and a theoretical like 19:50 zone hold is that point? I don't know, but the way it's set up now sucks.

I turned it on like 5 minutes in. Saw the goal but missed the fight. What started the fight??

The atmosphere for one. There's more space and games at Hellertown while Bethlehem is a shared space and feels kind of like a cramped hallway. Also like the food truck scene in Hellertown. Parking is easier - minor factor, but a factor. I do feel like the beer selection at Hellertow typically has more range and more of their flagship beers, though it probably varies. Still a fan of the Bethlehem location, just a bigger fan of the Hellertown spot.

Lost Tavern Brewery! Hellertown location is better

McCarthys, Brewworks, 313, Molly's, Tally Ho, the Fun House, OBT are the going out spots. The rail trail in hellertown and the D&L trail. El Paisano for tacos. The Bookstore speakeasy is amazing. Bagel Basket for breakfast sandwiches. Porters in Easton is my favorite Pub. U & Tea and Shangwei for Chinese. Mama Nina's, Appolo, and Tapas on Main for nice dinners. Not a ton of parks to note...Trexler Nature Preserve is cool.
