Anyone that fell for the Teg and Webb videos is a fool. This board disected the videos at the time and got the joke. If you feel insulted by Teg or Webb or by the race organizers it is because you are simply a fool.
It was great of Teg and Webb to help the race organizers with the videos. With the reactions here, though, you won't see the elites engaging the regular folk very much any more.
Please elaborate. How were we meant to know he wasn't going to race?[/quote
What was plausible at all about Webb's video?
1. He doesn't have a desk at Nike.
2. He doesn't speak on a desktop phone.
3. He doesn't run the 5k
4. He doesn't run road races.
5. He doesn't tell his coach where and when he will race.
6. He's checking a sheet of notes.
7. Nike doesn't have HD surveillance cameras aimed at Webb's desk that doesn't exist.
These 7 reasons set up the humor. Anyone knowledgable if running would know that this was rouse and ghat it was so preposterous that it wad funny.
