Lorde sings songs. One particularly popular song is called "Royals," which you've probably heard. Recently, she mentioned the song was inspired by a picture of a baseball player she saw in an old National Geographic.

The Secret To Surviving The Holidays (There Isn't One)
This is the hard part for me. The race is over and all I have pushing me is my own determination, which is another way of saying "nothing." It's especially dangerous now, too, that the holidays are coming up, which is so weird when you think about it....
Running Is Easy Or: How I Ran A Second Half-Marathon Despite Myself

You'll Regret Watching This USA Rugby League Tribute
We were sent this musical tribute to the USA rugby league team, performed by The Wiggles, favorites of undiscerning children everywhere.

A terrific SportsCenter ad came to life at Friday night's Slayer show in Seattle. There are no conclusions to draw here about John Clayton's ponytail, but nothing rocks harder than a cell phone clip on some dad jeans....
Running 50 Miles Across Kansas Was Actually Kind Of Awesome
I ran in the Bison 50 Relay race from Topeka to Lawrence, Kansas last weekend. It was 50 miles and surprisingly not the worst thing I've ever done. Next week I'll run a half-marathon in Florida and then, well, I don't know what I'll do. Probably get re-fat on alcohol and seasonal treats for the nex...
