As most of you already know I had a nerd that goes by the name of Cryhavoc from the tech forum create me a program that will alert me of anything suspect, or dubious concerning Jim Duncan's career. And low and behold... I was alerted this morning that buried beneath all of the over-hyped praise of this International failure that he has failed in the Olympics more than just once. As you'll scroll down you'll see that Jim was the leader of the team that went to the 1994 Goodwill games. Why has this this information never been discussed on this forum or any other media outlet before? Why is there a need to suppress this guys failures and lack of moral standards? While researching this I also discovered a link that lists the roster that he led to that bronze medal, and it lists Jim as a 6'9 forward. We all know that Jim has been 7ft. since 3rd grade, but for some reason there's this conspiracy to keep him recognized as a forward. I have my own reasons why this is done, but I'll let you all draw your own conclusions.
Just thought Id share a little bit of happiness with you all this morning.
