Dallas Robinson

[white lightning]

Back to Dallas Robinson. He is supposed to be running at the UTEP Meet today in El Paso, Texas in both the 100 & 200 meters. Anyone have any results yet? I can't find any yet so I'm assuming they are holding the sprints later today.

As far as an nfl player to ever go sub 10 legit, I seriously doubt it. I would be willing to bet that there have been some very fast guys, but none no where near the speed of a world class sprinter.

Tridon Holliday is more of a true sprinter. I don't see him playing football beyond college. He is going to run professionally without a doubt.

John Capel had personal bests of 9.9 in the 100 and 19.8 in the 200. He was 180 pounds.

 

[ToughJ.Riggins]

Yeah, but Capel never made it in the NFL. I don't even remember him making a practice squad.

BTW: Who was the guy that was talked about by J.B Cash that is credited with helping to make the media fall in love with track athletes on the football field? If I recall Cash was talking about a black WR, who had run professional track and was actually good at football. The media and public just fawned over whoever this "speed demon" was. I believe he played in the late 60s.

After Justin Gatlin ran the 4.42 and 4.45 at that Pro Day, I'd venture to guess there are numerous players in the league with world class speed. They just don't train (except for the 40 yard at the combine), and lack the stamina to go the100 meter distance.


When guys show that much promise in football, the potential financial windfall forces them to concentrate on making the league rather than hoping to pick up a few sponsors as a track star.

Dallas, take some friendly advice. You might wanna steer clear of that white supremacist board you recently started posting on. I'm pretty sure mingling with a bunch of racist, degenerate scumbags wouldn't sit too well with your sponsor.

don't react on dirttmcgirt and the troll will stop.

Dallas looked pretty average yesterday. He finished in 7th place in the 100 in a time of 10.48 seconds. I'm very suprised with the time since his training has been going good. It's his first race outdoors.He needs to just forget about that race and come back strong the next time out. Good luck to Dallas in the coming months. Keep your head up bro!Edited by: white lightning

 

[jaxvid]

I think you're pretty hard on Dallas. It's the start of the outdoor season and the better financed guys are going to be ahead of him at this point. He'll get better.

 

[ToughJ.Riggins]

Yeah, the time was nothing worse than average. I think the guy last year in NJ that won the 100 meter state title for the largest size H.S grouping in the state ran a 10.8 to win it last year. 10.48 to me just says Dallas hasn't had the training yet to get the consistency. If Dallas can get his times consistently into the 10.1Xs this year, Dallas really has a shot to keep improving and become a legit Olympic contender in the future. Keep working hard Dallas.

He took it off, but if I were Dallas I would have left it there and responded to it something like this b/c some people probably already saw it.

"First off, it certainly does not appear to be a white supremacist site. Secondly, I just dropped by to say hi and thank the people on their board for the support as a good measure as I am not a regular poster there. Thirdly is a site that tries to fight for equality in athletics for whites (b/c of their underrepresentation as NFL RBs & such) automatically racist? To me that seems like a noble cause.

BTW Dallas, thank you so much for stopping by to tell us how your training is going and thank us for the support. I am really glad to hear how hard you're working and hope you medal at the Olympics some day. I could see you grabbing a Gold or Silver in the 2012 Olympics in the 100 meters with a 9.9X time. I think of your story as an underdog one b/c you are reentering the track world a bit late after stopping for a few years. Come back again anytime to tell us how things are going.

Edited to Add: You can be a story that debunks negative stereotypes, just like Chinaman Xiang Liu who has the WR in the 110 hurdles.

I just saw a video of the race. Dallas was in the top 3 and at the front of the pack. Then he experienced a back/hip injury about halfway through. He shut it down after that. He would have had alot faster time. In the comment section, Dallas admitted that he suffered an injury. Here is to a speedy recovery my friend.

I knew something had to be up because Dallas should be able to run a 10.48 even with ankle weights.

At least we know why his time was not up to par. We are rooting for you brother.

 

[ToughJ.Riggins]

Well 10.48 certainly isn't a good time for guys trying to qualify for the Olympics I'd agree. I just thought it was from a lack of training, but it turns out it is injury which is also bad

. He needs to steadily improve and hopefully run a sub 10.1 this season. He needs consistent times the 10.1xs.

10.48 is a time that speedy guys in the NFL run. For instance Devin Hester who is considered the face of electrifying speed in the NFL runs a PB of 10.42. The fastest man in all of college football Trindon Holliday ran a 10.02 in June of 2007 and he is the fastest guy in quite some time in college football.

Trindon is so fast he broke former LSU sprinter and current Olympian Xavier Carters school record in the 100 Meter. Xavier's best 100 Meter time is 10.09, but he has run a 19.63 200 Meter.

And it is very true what was said in the NY times article. If they really start catching these roiders and it is taken out of track the winning Olympic times in the 100 meters will probably average in the high 9.9s rather than mid 9.8s.

If someone could please help me out. Who was the guy that was talked about by J.B Cash that is credited with helping to make the media fall in love with track athletes on the football field? If I recall Cash was talking about a black WR, who had run professional track and was actually very good at football. The media and public just fawned over whoever this "speed demon" was. I believe he played in the late 60s.

That sounds like Bob Hayes. Though I didn't go back and read any comments from Cash to confirm it.

 

[ToughJ.Riggins]

Thanks Riddlewire; that's who it was. I just couldn't pull it out of my head.

On youtube it appears that Dallas runs 10.2 after a 1 year layoff! If that is true, he should be able to get down to 10.0 with training.

Forget 10.1 guys, to make the Olympics you have to run 9.9. There's no two ways about that.

 

[jacknyc]

Like Michael LeBlanc, Dallas is also out with a back injury.

I don't agree. With all the guys from the American continent being busted for roids, where whites are kept away from track from brainwashing, we might see more of a clean field. IMO we will be seeing times of 9.9-9.95 win the 100 Meter Gold in the near future with better steroid detection methods. From my studies looking at the history of track before the roiding era I think the fastest time a black could run w/o roids is about 9.85-9.9. The fastest time a white could run "present day" w/o roids would be about 9.95-10 flat. That would make us very competitive, if the white sprinter got a good jump and the blacks didn't. 9.9-10flat is a difference of 1 meter apart at the finish line. I am expecting 9.9x's to become the winning times if and when this roiding non-sense ends!

It's a shame that the track coaches have no respect in this continent and are encouraging the pumping of steroids into their athletes for an advantage. It's all a money making game. It's only a matter of time until the next Balco bust. The Euro community seems to have more respect than this. You don't see black Euro's in the 100 meter final often at all.

There are alway exceptions Greek Kenteris the 200 meter champ in 2000 was likely a roider, but you see what happens when you roid, you win if you have the talent and you're not caught. We've gotta start catching these cheats!

Dallas, are you still there? I do hope you continue to post here or at least read what others cheering for you have to say.

This is a frustrating example of a white athlete who was threatened - by the discontinuation of his sponsorship - for exercising his freedom of speech. White athletes and whites in general can only think their thoughts; they can't say them, for if they do, they'll lose their job and reputation. Politically correct government coercion, a biased media, and a corrupt educational system - all factors that lead to our silence and guilt complex.

I hope he continues to come here to post or at least read what his fans have to say. This is not a racist board. This is a message board that supports white athletes. There are other notable athletes who come here without mentioning names. We can only hope that Dallas realizes that we support people of our european heritage without knocking others down. White people need to embrace our culture. There is nothing wrong with that as every ethnicity celebrates theres.

Good luck to you Dallas. I hope you recover quickly and shut up some of the many skeptics out there who only root against you because of the color of your skin. We wish you health, wealth, and a trip to China!

I'm not even sure that Dallas knew though, that this was a board that fights against stereotyping of white athletes as tight hipped/ slow etc. He may have just done a search for his name and found this site. But none the less we are not a racist board, at least the great majority of posters here. We simply want to support our heritage (in my case Irish/ Scottish and English) and fight against the stereotypes that hold whites back in sports. Many of us cheer for Asians like 110 meter hurdles record holder Liu Xiang as well b/c they are also victims of stereotyping. Good luck Dallas and don't be afraid to come back to this site to chat with us. We're fans of you and will be cheering you on in your endeavors!

Making the Olympics may have just gotten a little moredifficult. Team USA has another sub-10 guy. Clemson junior Travis Padgett just scorched a 9.96.

 

[albinosprint]

I say everyone should throw in the towel since the Bolt a Powell are going to win. F-ing Troll!

Huh? Padgett elevating himself to the upper echelon sprinters in the US makes me a troll? I don't see the connection.

 

[Guest]

Also, I think Gay is gonna win. He intimidates Powell.
