Go Blue!
I know where I'm booking my next cruise:

We've got this and the NBA Finals on at the moment over here. It's kind of the dirtier, scarier version of American Ninja Warriors when it comes to the nature and breadth of the obstacles, but it actually looks like it would be sort of fun to try out. The slip wall looks absolutely terrifying though.
Hunter McIntyre is my brother. He started doing the spartan race professionally a few years ago and just loves the competition and camaraderie. This team race is obviously different from the usual Spartans, but it's going to be a heck of a series. Excited to finally see it on mainstream tv!

is the name I'm going to use when I check into hotels from now on.
Hourly hotels, I imagine
That's good cardio.
...attacking every entrepreneurial opportunity with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.
He has done really well for himself.
I really liked his "Dhani Jones takes on the World" series where he would try different sports around the globe. Unfortunately, it was never on at the same time and I could never find it consistently.
I saw some of those. Repeats were haphazard, too. It was cool to see him connect with other people through their cultural sport.
And he was pretty damn good at all of them. A natural athlete.
Watch out, the PC police are going to get you. You aren't allowed to say a black guy is "well spoken". It's sort of an unwritten rule.
Well thank you for that wonderful piece of advice.
Good for him, but I will never watch that show.
Always glad to see Michigan Men succeed in all aspects of life. Great job, Dhani, but yes, for fuck's sake change the name of the show.

The amount of competition and "reality" shows in this country is astoundingly bad.
I met Dhani at a Mott charity event a few years ago. Really, really nice guy. I had a book that outlined every practice and game for the 97 season. He went right to the Rose Bowl stats and found his one tackle. He took a picture of it to share with his friends who (for some odd reason) doubted his claim of making a takle in, what turned out to be, the National Championship game. Dhani was also selling his bowties with all proceeds going to Mott. He, along with Charles Woodson, walk the walk.
I was super excited about watching this last night, but came away disappointed. I was hoping all the racers were Spartan Elites. I love watching those athletes cruise through these courses.
I'm running the Spartan Trifecta on Oahu this August. I've ran a couple OCR's in the past (tough mudder and an urban warrior challenge). I'm super excited to give my all in 3 Spartan races in one weekend.If I do well enough, next time I'm running with the elites.
And yes, it is tough for me to be training and continually tell myself I'm doing this to become a Spartan. Oh well.
