How An American Woman In Afghanistan Trains For A Marathon
“Women can’t walk outside at all, to say nothing of running,” Jessica Wright told me. They’re not supposed to be seen. Particularly as a foreigner, you literally can’t walk anywhere, not even covered. So I did all my training for the marathon on a treadmill in a tiny room in my boss’s house.”...

Rudy Gay's Game-Winning Attempt Missed Everything But His Teammate's Head
Rudy Gay had 30 points and 12 boards in a valiant loss for the Sacramento Kings down in Miami tonight. The team can take heart in their near-win against an Eastern Conference playoff team on the road. They can not, however, find much to like about the last play of regulation.

Rudy Gay To George Karl: "Welcome To Basketball Hell"
The Sacramento Kings, a failed state of an NBA team run by a clueless owner, will be bad this year, despite internal expectations that they’ll make the playoffs.
