Nova gets nice shout in Irish Independent

A family member who just got back from Ireland sent me this clipping from Eamonn Sweeney's article in the Irish Independent. Great to see an appreciation for Villanova's long connection with Ireland. Thought that UncleBill57 and some others would like to know.

Only question is - why did the article run with a shot of UNC??? Ha. Login to view embedded media Login to view embedded media

Lady pooped in elevator

In hilton head for work and just got out of the elevator. As I was coming in some lady hurried past and hid her face, she shat all over the elevator l. I'm talking a good 3 feet in diameter with just two foot prints and a pool liquid crap all over the floor. Should have taken a picture but smell was too much. Thought this was the appropriate place to share.

Running question

Broad Street Run coming up in just over a week and I have upped my running to try and beat my best time (Just under 1:10) - my question to the more experienced runners should I be running my all every time I pound the pavement? Basically my normal running consists of about a 4 mile run outside (around 30 minutes, pretty hilly) or if I am lazy I will run 2 miles on the treadmill. For the Broad Street Run I will add in a 5 miler 2 weeks before the race and then an 8 miler the week before. But pretty much every time I run I go all out and try to do better with my pace. It is going to be pretty tough for me to beat my best time, I am basically plateaued at 7 minute mile pace for anything over 5 miles. Would it be more beneficial to have maybe 1 run a week where I go at it easier?

How many Ballparks?

How many MLB ballparks (current ones) have people been to?

A buddy and I have made it a point the last few years to go to a new park each summer. We will likely be going to both Camden Yards and Nationals Park this summer. Any recommendations for a good trip?

I have been to 8:
BOS - Fenway
NYY - Yankee Stadium
NYM - Citi Field
PHI - Citizens Bank Park
CIN - Great American Ballpark
CHC - Wrigley Field
LAA - Angels Stadium
SDP - Petco Park

Autograph Seeking Jagoffs

These guys have to top the list of individuals I detest. At a cellular level. Grown ass men asking 22 year old dudes like Carson Wentz at the airport for their name on a piece of paper. LOSERS. Do these grown men not comprehend how this comes across? You're telling that person "hey man, you're a better man than me, sign this so I can wallow in shame at your feet". Then this jagoff at the airport starts booing Wentz when he wont sign. It's one thing if you have a kid with you. That's different. But if it's clearly for you it's well within the celebrities right to decline if he doesn't feel like it. As long as said celeb doesn't charge for autographs at a later date like jagoffs like Pete Rose do. That's even worse.

Once you graduate high school it's a violation to ask another man for an autograph. Stop embarrassing yourself.

Cryotherapy

Anyone on here try this? Not the freezing of the dead body (or head aka Ted Williams) but extreme cold therapy in a chamber. Temperatures get to around -220 to -240 below and moves the blood quite a bit. A whole host of potential benefits including reduced inflammation and fatigue. Have done 2 sessions each lasting 3 minutes. Felt good post but could be placebo.

Interested in the takes.
