re: Nope

When the Vikings played the Falcons a couple of weeks ago, they put up a graphic of Bennett's much balleyhooed speed. They actually listed his 100m PR as 9.9 and his 200 PR as 20.18 or something. Where are the hundredths for the 100m PR???! Preposterous. Why do TV people insist on insulting our intelligence like that? If he had run 9.9(0), we would have heard about it because he would have had to have done it at some big meet, probably in Europe!

And as far as the fastest man in the NFL debate goes, I'll take Michael Vick any day. I'd love to see what he could run on the track.

It's so fun reading distance runners debate about who is a better sprinter, when it means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING when they put pads on and step between the lines.

Nope,

That is not what was being debated. We were not discussing what sprint speed means to football players. We were discussing the broadcasting error. Next.

re: DougC

The Falcons game is the one I remember as well. They said Bennet was a 9.9 guy and the world record was 9.7. They rambled about how close he was to the "fastest man in the world".

"Nope" is an idiot and not much of a threat on the football field or the message board.

Next.

re: Facts

Darrel Green is now 40. Still one of the fastest in the NFL.

Don't forget the speed Deion had. He still holds the record at Florida State. Randy Moss came close and may have beaten it had he not gotten busted for smoking weed in violation of his probation. If Deion comes back, we'll see if he still has the rockets.

re: Nope

How can you argue for intelligence when you failed to grasp the point of the discussion?

Intelligence...I think not...
Despite the rash of sub 10 marks over the last 4-5 years, the 10 second barrier is still a big deal. Therefore, it doesn't take a MENSA member to notice when a broadcaster mentions a NFL player with a sub 10 PB.
