Keep talking about your jealousy of Rupp. We want to laugh at you some more.
Jealous of Rupp, are you nuts? Who would want to be that guy? Look at the contrast to JI. JI wins in exciting or unusual ways. Even when he loses it's exciting, especially what he does in response. He's more aggressive, more masculine, more successful. Sports cars, beautiful women. Ok, silly tattoos. Still Rupp? No thanks.
Definitely one of the dumbest takes here. Why does this message board have such an insanely high concentration of dim, bitter, miserable people?
I'm surprised that everyone is downvoting and jumping to defend him. For years he got endless abuse and criticism on these boards, for the things I mentioned. I don't mind the guy, I was just stating what I thought was a pretty non-controversial summary of his career.
You were downvoted because you literally are a middle aged loser.
Done? What an odd question. Will he ever race like he did 8-10 years ago? Probably not. Most posters already know that. Will be he a lifetime runner and advocate of our sport? Probably and hopefully.
