This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Yared Nguse Sets American Record in Mile by dillon77
Running in the Bowerman Mile in the Prefontaine Classic, he just ran a 3:43:97.
He lowered the record of 3:46.91 set by Alan Webb in 2007.
Nuguse finished second to Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen, who ran the third-fastest mile in history (3:43.73). The world record is 3:43.13 by Moroccan Hicham El Guerrouj in 1999.
Nuguse’s best outdoor mile time coming into Saturday was 3:53.34 from last August. The mile is rarely contested on the top international level since the distance is not on the Olympic or world championships program.
Domerduck....Hope you got to enjoy the in-person viewing. Man, that is fast, faster, fastest (for Americans). And Ingebrigtsen is one tough guy.
