Whoa! Word has now come out that Christian ran a 6.57 in the "three-cone drill." Apparently, that's the second fastest time run in the past thirteen years!! But who of us didn't know he was the quickest player side-to-side they've ever seen? Also, after the other rbs left, Christian did...

Here's the opinion of a former Redskins and Texans GM: Charley Casserly‏Verified account@CharleyCasserly 30m30 minutes ago In the RB drills section of the Combine workout Christian McCaffrey was the best in my opinion.

Scouts seem to agree with what I saw. Here's a guy, JJ McClesky, 8 yr NFL vet who teaches movement, tweeting on McCaffrey: Mccaffrey5 Footwork is ! No waisted motion and very explosive! Speed kill but footwork get you paid! #Efficient NFL has also tweeted a simulcam of CM outrunning Fournette...

Looks like they've upgraded his 40 to 4.48.

McCaffrey has been dominating everyone in the drills. I mean he OWNS them. First was some test of cutting ability where he reacted so immediately to the "tackler" that it looked like he had extra sensory perception. Then came a drill where they had to cut around cones and McCaffrey stayed...

Of course, another run still to come, but McCaffrey easily beat Kamara in the first 40. That means, so far, McCaffrey is the most athletic of the top runners in the draft, based on vertical, broad jump, and 40. And I am absolutely confident that he will kill the cone tests. He's better at...

4.49 on his first run. That's faster than both Cook (4.5) and Fournette (4.52). Hopefully, he let's it rip on his second attempt.

There's been a lot of buzz about Christian's jumping both on ESPN and twitter. He's already turning this narrative around. Even I'm shocked by how much he outjumped Cook. He measured taller than Cook also.

Christian just verticaled 37.5. That was SEVEN inches better than the explosive Dalvin Cook and ELEVEN inches higher than the explosive Leonard Fournette. He also broad jumped 10,1. I think Cook was at 9,8, if I remember correctly. If so, CM beat him by 5 inches. Fournette chickened out...

That's the NCAA record for Hannah. Yes, Hannah Cunliffe is now the all-time fastest indoor female sprinter in the history of the NCAA. And, not for nothing, she's gorgeous and has quite possibly the most perfect body in the history of the NCAA also.

Looks like Christophe has been nursing an injury to his psoas muscle: "I'm very upset ," he said in a mixed zone. I did not come for that. It's very annoying. I have desires and ambitions and in the end, I do not know if we can call what I do, a race. In any case, it has nothing to do with what...

Trey Cunningham just broke the US National High School record in the 60m hurdles! http://www.wbrc.com/story/34368023/winfield-sprinter-sets-national-record

Here's the video of this truly terrible race. It's even worse than the 100. There wasn't anyone in this field that he shouldn't be able to beat while running with lead shoes. He just looked really slow. Can't imagine what his excuse is. He's been sick ever since the Olympics, which were...

Sad news. 2016 Euro 200m champ and all around feel-good story of the year Bruno Hortelano was badly injured in a car wreck. Word is his hand is at risk of amputation.

Here's the video. As always, the problem was the start, and this one was one of his worst ever. He was waaay behind after just two or three steps. Ah, if only there were such thing as a "running start 100m race." He'd be a gold medalist at that.

"Women weaken legs, Rock!" At least the US readers are going to get why, after reading this quote, I've decided that Pierre Carraz's resemblance to Mick in the Rocky movies is more than merely physical: Pierre Carraz recalls: "Before the London Olympics in 2012, he had a 19'91 in a meeting...

Could this be the Christian McCaffrey effect? http://www.bloggersodear.com/2016/8/25/12636348/cade-carney-wake-forest-football-starting-running-back-tulane

I'm late to respond to the Paris prediction thread. I believe Christophe is overdue for a breakout 100. Put me down for 9.94.

Amazing run for Christophe. Imagine what he could have done these past few years if even once or twice he hadn't had to race in cold conditions with a wind in his face. He's had the worst run of luck for that of any sprinter who ever lived. In a way, though, it worked out for him last...

Christophe was incredible. More on him on his thread, but here I just want to mention Kevin Mayer, his compatriot who had an epic run in the decathlon. Mayer pushed Ashton Eaton right up until the last lap of the last race. Mayer's performance was the sixth best of all time, and he's only 24...

Okay, I watched all of the heats. Here's how I'd handicap our guys: 1. Hortelano--ran the best time and won his heat despite easing up. He's got a shot for a medal. 2. Guliyev--I'm being optimistic that the first half of his race won't be duplicated. His second half was spectacular...

Okay, LeMaitre qualifies comfortably out of lane 2. Interestingly, Reuss had a big lead early but couldn't hold on well enough to get in on time. He did finish third, however, and I think it's looking good for the Greek to make it on time.

Oh, yeah, let's add Gemilli, the smiling Brit, to the list. He looked solid, as always. The 200 heats have been going better than anyone could have hoped for.

And now add Matteo Galvin of Italy to the list! He pushed hard and took second in his heat by a nose.

Freddie, see my description of Hortelano's race. The time doesn't do it justice. Update: Guliyev has now joined Hortelano and Talbot. Guliyev completely FELL ASLEEP in the first half of the race. He gave the entire field a head start then calmly strode into second place. This is good and...
