The fastest woman alive flew to rural Australia to chase down amateurs on a grass field for $27,500.

The Stawell Gift is a 148-year-old handicap sprint held every Easter in a town of 6,000 people in western Victoria. 120 meters. On grass. Uphill. Lanes separated by rope, not paint. The twist: slower runners get up to a 10-meter head start. The world champion starts at zero.

Richardson gave away 10 meters to her closest competitor. Some runners started 25 meters ahead. She had to close that gap over 120 meters of grass while running uphill. She won her heat in 13.8 seconds.

In 144 years of the men's race, only two men have ever won from scratch. In the women's race (started 1989), only two women. The handicap system is specifically designed so the fastest runner should lose.

The race started in 1878 at the end of the Australian gold rush. The distance, 120 meters, comes from the gap between two pubs in Sheffield, England, where professional sprinting began. Competitors historically trained by chasing kangaroos.

737 athletes entered this year. Prize money: $40,000 AUD. Last year they paid Australia's teenage sprint star Gout Gout $50,000 just to show up. He got eliminated in the semis. The handicap ate him alive.

Richardson said it felt like being a kid again, playing tag. The woman who runs 10.65 described the hardest race on her 2026 calendar as "playing rabbit."

Trying to put together a group of DZ listeners to go volunteer with Miracle League in Arlington (https://t.co/V4XM9GhJGj) on April 25, 1-3p. We can go play paintball or something after. Don't sign up through the link - email me [email protected]

NFL teams should consider adding Sumo Wrestlers to their offensive lines.

He held back Micah Parsons without even trying.

Most don’t realize how impressive this is.

Parsons is 6-foot-3, 245 pounds 🤯🤯

Marcus Allen feels underrated. How many players have won: Heisman Trophy, College National Championship, Super Bowl Champion, Super Bowl MVP, and NFL MVP??? Only one.

The Onion gotta step up their game.

American Airlines has 77 regional planes sitting in storage because they can't find pilots to fly them. The expected U.S. pilot shortfall in 2026 is 24,000. Training a new commercial pilot takes 2-3 years minimum and costs six figures.

So American found a loophole. Partner with a bus company, brand the bus "American Eagle," sell the seat on https://t.co/mcPOsfKjK5 with a flight number, route passengers through TSA, let them pick a seat, check bags, earn AAdvantage miles. The entire experience is designed to feel like a flight in every way except the part where you leave the ground.

The economics are staggering. A regional jet on a 90-mile route needs two pilots ($100K+ each), a flight attendant, jet fuel, FAA maintenance requirements, and an aircraft that costs $20-30 million. The Landline bus needs one driver and a highway.

South Bend to Chicago O'Hare is 90 miles. That route doesn't make money with a regional jet anymore. It barely made money before the pilot shortage. The bus lets American keep selling connections through O'Hare to every destination in its network without operating a single flight.

This is what the pilot shortage actually looks like. Not cancelled routes. Not smaller airports going dark. The airline just quietly reclassified a bus as a flight and kept charging accordingly. The TikTok exposing it has 13 million views because the passenger cleared security, sat at a gate, and watched her luggage get loaded onto a coach before it merged onto the interstate.

The word "bus" appears once during booking in small text. Google Flights lists it with a tiny bus icon. The airline says customers are "transparently informed." 72% of U.S. airports have already lost an average of 25% of their flights to the shortage, and Landline is expanding, not shrinking. Philadelphia, Chicago, and now five regional airports are on the bus network.

American Airlines is solving a $28,000-per-pilot-shortfall crisis by removing the pilot from the equation entirely. The bus is the product now. The flight number is just packaging.
