To keep it simple you run your gym like you run your house. Keep it clean and in good running order. No jerks allowed, members pay on time and if they give you any crap, throw them out. There's peace where there's order. | | | | | The original, Venice, Ca. (Britta Frahm) | | | | |  | “To keep it simple you run your gym like you run your house.

| | rantnrave:// Why it matters that MICHAEL JORDAN has found his activist voice. Why it's problematic that people think it matters that black athletic heroes like MICHAEL JORDAN, but not white athletic heroes, find their activist voices... Yes, RICHARD SHERMAN, any time someone says "Black Lives Matter" and then advocates killing police, "it's difficult to stand behind that logic." But the #BLACKLIVESMATTER movement is not in fact advocating that, and it's unhelpful, and harmful, to imply that it does... The NFL gets tough with its concussion protocol. The NHL remains in denial... The OLYMPICS start in nine days, and we're still trying to sort out "Who's in, and Who's Out" among the RUSSIAN delegation. Meanwhile, here's one more uncertainty to ponder: Can you trust international anti-doping bodies to get it right?... LEFTY's 11 runner-up finishes, ranked... How to turn a triple play without touching the ball... The CHRIS SALE throwback jersey blowup has produced more outrage and more thinkpieces in three days than SALE has produced strikeouts this season. And yet the world's leading authority on uniforms, UNI WATCH's PAUL LUKAS, informs us that he's "still working out what I think of all of it." I wish more writers were like PAUL LUKAS. There's a tendency, and often a job requirement, in this business to have an insta-opinion on everything that happens in sport (and politics, and business, and the weather, and yes I am guilty, too). But sometimes it's OK not to have a take. Sometimes it's OK not to know. Sometimes it's OK just to have an open, curious mind. More than sometimes, even...
