Which athletes would you MOST like to have a beer with?

Sea Biscuit.

Goldust

Mike Kekich and his wife.

Henry Rono, I bet he can pound em...

Josh McDougal, Ryan Hall and Sara Bei. Root Beer that is. Smile Smile Smile

isn't that flanagan chick like 80lbs soaking wet.....8-10 beers would kill her dude

and tactful that post was hilarious!!

i'd go with pre and dennis rodman

I actually had a twilight zone moment having a beer with both Wilt Chamberlain and Frank Shorter at carlsbad in some local dive bar in 1998. All the women kept bothering Wilt. He was a really nice guy. Surreal moment

You'd be surprised at the amount that some people can drink. I weigh about 140 and can put down 12 to 13 and be in relatively decent shape. 10 might be a little much but I have faith in her abilities.

How about James Thie at Coogans in NYC. While doing karaoke.

Toby CRASH Stevenson! He seems like a cool guy.

I used to run for Iowa State and I heard some of the British guys who were there before my time-Steve Brooks, Ian Robinson, Jon Brown-could drink like you couldn't believe. I've heard urban legends of them drinking shot putters under the table.

The Zeigle Twins!!!

well i can drink a half case too and i'm 135lbs (canadian beer by the way :P) but 130 isn't 80 and a 25yr old canadian male isn't a 20ish american female.....oh wait i see 19 yr old american girls in downtown windsor all the time taking there clothes off at wet t-shirt contests.....nevermind

Hey, you are right about Zatopek. He used to drink 8 half liter beers (13 of your american tiny bottles) a day when in the hardest preparation. It helped him to forget all the pain. Then he switched to a home-made smelly mineral water, because his wife insisted, that he is becoming an alcoholic. Later he became a wine drinker, but with moderation (occassionally not- and I wish I could be there- the most eloquent and funniest person).

I didn't have chance to talk to him, but did with his wife Dana (who still rides bike at 82!!!). I would give anything to have a beer with Emil (if he was alive, of course).

The list is seemingly endless. Some of the greats of the past and present definitely make my short list.

Right now, I'd have to say Cerutty - If I could get him to have a beer, given his spartan and stoic mentality and that healthy diet it would be a coup of the highest order. Fritz Stampfl and Bill Bowerman are a close second/third. Lydiard's another guy I'd love to have a beer with. Okay, so coaches are the common thread to this point - I'm studying the sport. Sue me.

Athlete-wise, it would be great to drain a few Shiners with Lance, a couple of Pacificos with Meb, and Asahi, Kirin or Ichiban with any of the Japanese female marathoners...

Not an athlete, but three beers for me and a sock full of quarters for Michael Moore. Actually, I'd like to drink a few w/ jason-in-Japan.

-I'll call you later

With out a doubt James Carney!!! Not only can that guy party with the world but all the chicks flock to him. Carney castaways are better than most.
