    Is there a live stream for the remaining meet? I was able to watch yesterday but now they make you put in cable information and I don't have any of the information. Cable comes to our apts automatically.

    Why can't USATF just put out free live streaming of the race it makes it really hard to follow these meets and actually give a crap

    Turn on the TV. It's on NBCSN.

    Rojo, how much time per day do you rub your nipples while thinking about how you can make a fool of yourself next?

    That was good journalism precisely because they didn't mention anything other than the very basic facts.

    I will give you some credit- you did quote Salazar yesterday for QOD, and you have presented every article on the homepage from both sides of the story. You've shown a fair amount of balance.

    However, you lose some respect from readers when you start reffering to NOP fanboys like a common troll.

    By the way, I don't think anyone who who has paid attention would accuse you yourself of leading a witch hunt, but rather some of the posters or trolls on this board who refuse to listen to facts on either side.

    Please don't stoop to their level, Rojo.

    Can someone tell me something. WHy in God's name does USATF/IAAF do time qualifiers in the 1500 which is never ever run for time in the rounds but then does the 800 by place.


    In the 1500 yesterday, it was top 3 and next 3. I personally think for all races 1500 and up, all of the qualifier races should be done by place only. Probably the 800 like they do it.

    But someone at USATF/NCAA, etc, please change this. Coaches it makes no sense.

    that what I was saying. If they had only top two, it was risky for A.E. and others to run for place after the first heat went out very fast.

    Alexa got lost in Lane 2 - ran a very long route - never looked comfortable - understandably unwilling to take the lead when she needed to.

    Symmonds, who says he's at about 90% fitness, had a great quote "

    "In my 20s, I could get away with firing at about 90%, I'm about to find out if I can do it my 30s"
