Q: Ran first Marathon. Now what?

This weekend I'll be running my first marathon. So, what comes next? I know I shouldn't stop running (and don't want to). I followed a very detailed training plan, but haven't found a post-race plan. Is there such thing as a post-race plan? So far I know I'll run 3k/2mi (as slow as I feel comfo...

if true (and I see no way it isn't) this is huge:

The NFL announced sweeping new measures on domestic violence in a letter to owners today; Six games for 1st offense, lifetime ban for 2nd.

(that's a giants/jets writer, i assume she's seen the letter since)

On Ray Rice discipline: "I didn’t get it right," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell writes to owners.

@skullpatrol yeah, crazy harsh. Great message though. We take this seriously, we have no tolerance for it (but we'll have some grace if it's a one time thing.

it was a blood bath when it first came out remember?

Typical sporting news sensationalism >8(

Q: Why is a 4-2-5 defense named as such?

I was watching a Bleacher Report video. In the video breaking down the TAMU-SC opener game, the narrator said, "Thanks to the abundance of linebacking talent, [SC] are looking to move to more of a 3-4 than they're traditional 4-2-5." I understand the 3-4, but in looking at the 4-2-5 defense onl...
