I’ll give you Owens and Lewis. Not Michael Johnson. Donovan Bailey took his soul.

Does this put him in doubt for the opener?

JEAHL!

Your handle is appropriate for this comment. Wocka wocka wocka!

There will be a whole generation of kids growing up, some day telling their grand-kids about witnessing an old grey-haired Lochte trying to keep up with Phelps.

She looked absolutely gassed at the end, like her body was shutting down from the exertion. When I saw it live, I thought the dive was a last gasp effort to get across the line. She was on the ground recovering for 30 mins after the event.

This is exactly what I was thinking. It didn’t look like a deliberate dive as much as a desperate lean where her legs didn’t have the horsepower to catch back up and she ended-up on the ground.

That’s what my wife, also a runner (marathons tho so YMMV), thought: she lost her balance while making a final lunge/lean. This stuff about whether or not she would get there faster on a dive is interesting but kind of beside the point.

Clearly you have never fallen on a rubberized track at speed.

It also has to be more like falling forward with a hard final step than a proper dive. Got to be willing to faceplant if you want the strongest possible push. Of course, it is much easier to get injured doing it that way so I wouldn’t advise anyone doing it all the time.

I was talking baseball, just like the original comment, and your own...

Apparently he can still run it in under 12 seconds.

Thank goodness he's ok - it would have been really ugly if he dyed.

Zachary D. Manprin: Cardinal Fan or Schiano Man?

Let’s be honest, it was never really ours to begin with.
Good bears.

It’s in the media village, so they clearly did their research and discovered zero is the number of condoms most reporters will need.

At the Copa...Copacabana.

The man has dried up whatever goodwill he had in New England a long time ago. You’d think that a pitcher who won the team a World Series, who genuinely seems to love the Red Sox in retirement, and who has come back from some health problems, would be a conquering hero in Boston. But then he opens his mouth.

I think it was just fine. It’s an inherent trait of Democrat fanboys that you must, at all times, backseat drive on every campaign element. I think the party did just fine presenting themselves as sane people who won’t kill us all.
