A D.C. politician tried to manipulate a scale in the fitness center to appear lighter. This video shows how one simple procedure ensured the scale's accuracy. Integrity matters.

Shame on @kwri for allowing agents to run questionable — even potentially illegal — schemes with zero protection for the client. This is unacceptable.

Apple Just Dropped a Feature That Makes Your Watch Smarter Than Your Workout Partner, by @tedvickey https://t.co/rhXcPKqFJ3

The best players in the world aren’t living at 190 ball speed.

This table shows the average ball speed and ball speed rank for the current top 25 players in the world (Bryson and Hatton not included as I do not have current data for them).

The average ball speed? 175.3 mph
The median ball speed? 174.3 mph
Average ball speed rank? 85.9
Median ball speed rank? 88.0

Only 2 players are over 185mph.

None are over 190mph.

Distance matters.

But don’t buy the myth that the best in the world are all speed monsters.

Skill still wins. Always has. Always will.

Love my new G80!

Saw it at @thegenesisinv and got it next day.

Guess their marketing really does work :)

What’s your favorite restaurant in Naples, FL?

[Joe Pompliano @JoePompliano]

Mercedez-Benz Stadium in Atlanta — the host of tonight's CFP National Championship Game — has the cheapest concessions in sports:

• $2 sodas
• $2 pretzels
• $3 pizza slices
• $5 cheeseburgers

The idea was inspired by the concessions at Augusta National Golf Club, but while other owners thought Arthur Blank was crazy, the idea was actually genius.

The Atlanta Falcons consistently rank first in the NFL’s annual internal survey for food quality, price-to-value ratio, speed of service, and variety.

The Falcons say that the price decrease led to an 88% increase in merchandise sales in the first year.

Fans are now spending 16% more money on concessions than they did a few years ago, and an average of 6,000 more fans enter the stadium two hours before each game.

However, the best indicator that the new model works is that several other professional sports teams have copied it.

From Ryan Smith and the Utah Jazz to Mat Ishbia and the Phoenix Suns, owners across North American professional sports are lowering concession prices for fans.

The idea is that a better gameday experience keeps fans coming back and often leads to the eventual purchase of higher-margin items, like merchandise.
