Great list of athletes. There will always be snubs on notable lists. Did the list come out too soon? Everyone from the 20th century list was retired or dc when it arrived. Several athletes can still move up: LeBron, Ledecky, Mahomes, SAFP, Ovechkin, Crosby, McDavid..

Always be careful driving in the DMV. As inclement weather approaches, be extra careful today.

Low clouds and passing showers are expected this morning. As these stratus clouds erode & a strong cold front approaches from the west, strong to severe t'storms are expected. The more potent cells could produce 70-80 mph wind gusts & even a few tornadoes. #MDwx #VAwx #DCwx #WVwx

And here we are: Men's NCAAMB bracket is out, which means the argument over snubs will ensue.

The S&C world is all up in arms about Texas Tech eliminating 40# and lower weights. Disagreements and opinions all around. Let the games begin!

THE BRACKET 🤩

Fill out yours: https://t.co/Jt9eXr7f5T

@willgeosits I have questions:
- Did the staff see a legit need?
- What are the new protocol/program design/expectations (that warrants this change)?
- Does this include weight plates?
- Will the warm up be 🔥?

Just need some bona fide evidence.

[Derek Arledge @TEEMPTraining]

@AdamBreneman81 @NextUpBreneman @usat Every1 is tripping out over this move. The concern is there, 4sure. I've never served as an S&C at the college football level. But, they just mentioned dbs. Did guys really use 20# for Bulgarian squats/lunges when not in rehab? The warm up has to be 🔥 Did the staff see a need?

@RGIII Or, the Aces and Coach Hammon will find a way to beat them

@TerriblePic @FearedBuck He lost by one step. Anyone saying the woman did not hurt his chances of finishing first is wrong. One. Step. If he doesn't veer off course by just a few paces...he wins! 🤷🏾‍♂️

@CF_Budge If you didn't go to Beaver Stadium but went to UM and Columbus...where else did you go?

@lukedsimmons Tell them art used to be in the Olympics. Also, tell them, as I told someone else before, you could have competitive farting as a sport - we dads get laughs and speak the truth💯

The Winter Olympics are underrated and have been for a minute. The WOs display how movement is fun on your stomach, on your back, on your feet, on a board, on longer boards...and on different types of knives.

THIS HELMET 🔥

Team USA's Austin Florian wore this during the Men's Skeleton competition.

[Derek Arledge @TEEMPTraining]

@BStulberg Very good list. If each choice were weighted, how would you weight them? Affordability is crucial and keeps a lot of kids out of certain sports
