Eric Heiden had retired long ago the first time a single distance world championships was held. Back then only multiple distance world championships existed, sprint (2x500m + 2x1000m) and all around (every distance except 1000m from 500m up to 10000m). Heiden won both of these championships in the same year three times as well as an extra all around championship.

Is he a teen or a man?

There are rules they're supposed to follow for that as well. Something like only leagues with under $100 buy ins.

Yeah, I’m not sure Tyler Huntley’s 2 TD and 3 Int season performance was pro bowl worthy.

I have been a Raiders fan for 41 years but I'm done with them now and forever. I hope Derek wins a couple of Super bowls with the saints.
It would be great if he could beat the Raiders in a super bowl just so I could see the look on Mark Davis's face at the end of the game.
In summation, fuck Mark Davis and the entire Raiders organization.

I think the point is that, even though the Netherlands is known as the country with the richest speed skating history, it's still not close to being the most popular sport there.

Can we get the poor lad a jacket or something so he doesn’t have to use the flag as a blanket?

I don't have a problem with it. They should be extremely strict about it. Now it would be nice if they treated domestic violence the same way...

I'm not sure "4 time pro bowl qb" means that much these days. I mean, if you are on an NFL team and are willing to show up to the game, you can probably be a pro bowl QB these days.

I think the US equivalent of Heerenveen might be more like if the US had a national center for auto racing training and it was in Indianapolis.

TrackTown is a very famous track (for track and field) events, with many national and international top level events taking place there. In the US, anyone that follows track and field (particularly distance running) knows of TrackTown, and where it is.
The exerpt does nothing to imply that it's "minor" in fact exactly the opposite.

Tracktown refers to Track and Field, not speed skating.
Track and Field is of relatively low importance in the US, so it makes sense that its (arguably) greatest venue is a smallish college town in the Pacific NW. Kind of a nonsense statement typical of sportswriting filler.
Most non-mainstream sports in the US have their olympic training centers in Colorado, so that's probably the US version of Heerenveen.

Stg, Derek Carr might as well be Tom Brady for us.
