I remember my mind being blown when I learned that in hurdles the only rule is you have to stay in your lane, you can choose to clear the hurdles however you want including smashing into them, ducking underneath them, or jumping over

Do you not get penalties for knocking them over?


quote:

Downed Hurdles

Runners who deliberately knock down a hurdle are disqualified under IAAF rules. Runners who knock over a hurdle accidentally are not disqualified. Whether the hurdle was downed deliberately is left to the referee’s judgment. The National Federation of High Schools had a similar rule until 2010. Now, if a runner knocks down a hurdle with her hand she is disqualified, according NFHS rules. Under the old rules, a hurdle intentionally knocked down by a runner’s foot also led to disqualification.

would probably be different for high school i guess

It's hard to imagine they do worse this year, so they've got that going for them.

I realize I'm probably dooming the Browns to something worse than 0-16 by even thinking they can't do worse.

For the Browns 'worse' is mostly in how they set themselves up to crawl out of the hole. Like unless they get to say, 6 wins this year, they're probably moving on from Hue regardless.

So like, the way this year goes bad is if they start like 0-4 and fire Hue, and/or anyone in the front office showing that they're still the trigger happy Browns, or Hue does what he did with Kizer last year and benches Mayfield / Tyrod repeatedly through the season ruining his confidence.

no one believes in Watson or keenum. The averages really show how it's 1a/1b for Rodgers and Brady, then Brees, then 3 more clustered and a big drop

I guess the last 3 guys got no votes at all and are included by virtue of being starters? it's weird they didn't get votes at all though

It was a bunch of different votes by grouping, with those 3 as the starters who they thought were too soon to tell.

Of course Jimmy and Watson have started about as many games as Trubisky, But hey, that's life.

Also the top 6 had a breakdown with the team that ranked them highest / lowest which is pretty funny:

pre:
1	Tom Brady	1.10 (New England Patriots)	2.25 (Miami Dolphins)
2	Aaron Rodgers	1.20 (Green Bay Packers)	2.53 (New Orleans Saints)
3	Drew Brees	1.94 (New Orleans Saints)	3.75 (Arizona Cardinals)
4	Russell Wilson	3.21 (Seattle Seahawks)	4.96 (Pittsburgh Steelers)
5	Matt Ryan	3.91 (Atlanta Falcons)	5.61 (Pittsburgh Steelers)
6	Ben Roethlisberger	3.80 (Pittsburgh Steelers)	5.67 (Seattle Seahawks)

Yeah Mitch played as many games as Watson plus Jimmy G combined I think. I guess with his coaching change he's still an enigma since the bears absolutely wasted those 12 games

I ran hurdles in high school and middle school. You don't get penalties for knocking them over. The idea is to get as close to them as possible without hitting them for maximum speed.

The key to being good at hurdles is being tall enough and fast enough to 3-step them so you can maintain your rhythm which helps maintain your speed.

You'd have to take a lot more steps to scurry underneath. Four-steppers rarely beat 3 steppers. It's more total steps in the race and you have to switch your lead foot. Also yes I realize this isn't a serious question, I just never get to talk about hurdles.
