Michael Johnson is sitting cross-armed with a scowl, somewhere in the nosebleeds at Hayward Field under the shadow of Phil Knight’s phallic tower,

contemplating how a track meet can be well-organized, have a sold out crowd, pay the winning athletes and be profitable all at the same time.

I am so psyched. Starts in a few minutes. That Men's International mile field is loaded. Could their winning time be within 2 seconds of Bowerman winner? Weather looks good. mid to upper 70s, a little wind, no humidity.

Why, oh why is "Prevagen" (basically ground up jellyfish without any US Food and Drug Administration testing - although with RFK,jr. in charge, that is becoming more and more meaningless) a USATF sponsor?? The supplement industry continues to churn out tons of products that have not gone through proper testing, waste athletes' money, and is just peed down the drain to pollute our nation's waters. Why, oh why is USATF promoting this crap??
