nevada, i've alwaysnoticed that peoplewho aren't very bright, and, to borrow a phrase from Al Campanis, lack the necessities to verbally joust, and defend theiridiotic, indefensiblecomments,are often reduced tohurling invectives at their opponents rather thansimply manning up, and admitting...

I don't mean to nitpick, but I'm a stickler for accuracy. Hines's 1968 10.03 was legal. The wind was 0.9. Also, Carl Lewis ran a 19.75 200m in 1983, and a 19.80, 19.84, and 19.86200m in 1984. Those 4 times were BY FAR the top non-altitude 200m's in history. The only non-American who even came...

Nevada,the incredible stupidity of what you just said isn't worthy of a response, butI'llgraciously give you one anyway. The OLYMPICS isn't about sending a "good" team.. it's about sending yourBEST team. Your BEST team has a better chance of winning it all, than a relatively "good" team...

All of those guys were asked, along with Tim Duncan, but they declined the invitations. After easily winning the gold in 1992, 1996, and 2000, the novelty of pros playing in the Olympics wore off. For foreign countries, it's an honor to represent your nation. For NBA players, it's a nuisance...

Borzov ran his 10.07 in Munich at 520m altitude. Jim Hines ran a10.03 four years earlier in Sacramento at 10m altitude. Also, to be fair to the other sprinters of the era, Jim Hines's sea level record of 10.03 could have been broken by a number of other people. They each just happened to have...

Ithink that pilot program is solid. They'reusing that initialblood drawas abase, and comparing it to random blood draws in the future,on season and off, to check for changes in a whole myriad of metrics, in addition to testing for every known drug. Even if he uses an unknown drug, they're still...

200 meter sprinters already have a running start on that last 100. If they maintain that speed coming off the curve, that second 100 will clock in at the low 9 second range. Once that's added to the 11 second first 100, you get the 20+ second time. You really can't cut it in half, because...

Personally, I think the Trailblazers earned the recognition they received last year. Their3 star players played a previous total of4 YEARS in the league (Brandon Roy - 1,Martell Webster - 2, and LaMarcus Aldridge - 1).To finish above .500 in the power-packed Western Conference with that...

I think Mark McGwire's congressional testimony,Barry Bonds's 'roid use, Clemens, the Mitchell Report, and Marion Jones's BALCO-related imprisonment will pretty much serve to mute the response of any sprint-related accomplishments going forward. Especially being that he's white, ifCraig does go...

I don't know much about Browne, but how do you know hedoesn'tjuice?

Personally, I don't have a problem with that. Pro sportsdom is like a giant fraternity.. that they're all members of, and we're not. They don't seem to take the highs and lows as seriously as a lot of hardcore fans do.They play their hearts out, they lose fair and square, then they congratulate...
