Really interesting article re: the cost for college teams to try and stay even w/other teams that can afford to supply their swimmers w/the new suits.

  • The fact that I am flabbier than Mr. Thornton is clearly established in our foregoing dialog, and our little junk science experiment will not shed any light on that question. I assume, perhaps foolishly, but hopefully nonetheless, that Mr. Thornton will refrain from making public comments about how loosely the suit fits him, and will be able to resist using words like "baggy", "huge", "elephant-skin", or "Did Paul-freaking-Smith send me his suit instead as a joke?" I anxiously await the results, however, to see what they may tend to show on the issue of which of us is the lazier, for it is difficult, if not impossible, to imagine anyone lazier than I.
