...a few things.

Duke is in the Final Four, love watching Zion.

The Beatles never broke up.

Robert Johnson lived long enough to play an electric guitar.

Jim, Jimi and Janis are still with us.

Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali never did any prison time.

This was the actual ending.

Eulace Peacock was in the Berlin Olympics in 36.

Barry Sanders the All Time NFL rushing leader.

Bo Jackson in second.

Japan hadn't been stupid.

There never was a Mohammad or Hitler.

Whatever is behind all this didn't play this ridiculous.....you can't see me.

Somebody really does need to explain to this moron what the word "ignore" means. He obviously isn't getting it. I ignore a few here and they are completely/totally/100% dead, they died. I don't talk about them, I have NOTHING to do with them....NOTHING.

Ok, this ridiculous pedo thing.

I do get the internet trip, if somebody says I;m not gay it's....GAY GAY YOU'RE GAY GAY QUEER, FAG.....that is simply how it is.

The very first time I said anything at all about that Olongapo thing was me being pissed off about how any of that was allowed to go on. And any man messing with kids was the low of the low the scum of the earth, and they needed a bullet in the brain.

Now, how in the hell does my stance on that sick shit turn into me being some sick ass pedo? WHAT??????? How does ...shoot those sick fucks become....you pedo? How is that even possible?

There is nothing anywhere out there where I say anything that deserves....you pedo. Go ahead prove that statement wrong, where is anything that has me saying anything that deserves....you pedo? Where is it?

I have no doubts at all.

The AFL never would have merged with the NFL. Teams that never ever play each other is what we'd be getting in the SB.

Bullet Bob Hayes couldn't play football, so he stayed in track until after the 68 Olympics, what....9.90?

Tyreek Hill was gay.

Robert E. Howard hadn't committed suicide at 30.

Hollywood really delved into H.P.Lovecraft.

I first picked up on Bo Jackson while in an Alabama HS, he was a decathlete. The guy could do it all, except....run the 1500, but he was winning State without it he was that dominate.

While at Auburn he was an amazing combination of power/speed/elusiveness, that is why he won the Heisman. And he could play baseball.

What do you see here?



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RjFR-3GTRU

And he was just as amazing in the NFL.

The guy was an incredible athlete.

Trivia

He did face Herschel Walker in the heats of the SEC 60, who won?

True story.

While in HS he ran back so many KO's for TD;s the offense asked the coach to take him off that team so they could play more.

His story...."The Courting of Marcus Dupree" a great read, far more than just football. Willie Morris the author.

best size-speed runner in the history of football. usually the burners are tiny backs that struggle getting the tough yards, like chris johnson. you basically have his speed with the body of a power back. defenses had no answer.

most comparable guy in modern day is adrian peterson

Wrong as usual.

The best size/speed runner in the history of football was Curtis Dickey. He was 215 pounds and world ranked in the100m's. He is the only NFL RB to ever be world ranked in a 100m

VOTE FOR THE 2013 ULTIMATE ATHLETE (http://contest.usatodayhss.com/vote/asics-2013/)






Why Him: At McAdory High in McCalla, Ala., he twice won the state decathlon and the 100-meter dash. In his senior year, he ran for 1,173 yards on 108 carries for the football team and hit 20 homers in 25 games for the Yellow Jackets' baseball team. At Auburn University, he won the Heisman Trophy his senior year in 1985, rushing for 1,786 yards and 17 touchdowns. He hit 401 with 17 homers with 43 RBI in 42 games for the War Eagles' baseball team his junior year. He also qualified for NCAA track and field nationals in the 100-meter dash his freshman and sophomore years. In baseball, he spent only 53 games in the minors. The first of his 141 Major League home runs went 475 feet and he broke his bat in the process. He made the All-Star Game in 1989, the year he hit 32 homers with 105 RBI. In football, he ran for 950 yards and four touchdowns in 1989 and followed that with five rushing touchdowns and 698 yards in 1990. Only one other NFL player, Ahman Green, has equaled Jackson's record of two touchdowns from scrimmage of 90 or more yards. After a hip injury with the Raiders ended his football career, he played two more seasons of baseball on a prosthetic hip.

Curtis Raymond Dickey (born November 27, 1956), was a two-sport athlete at Texas A&M University (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_A%26M_University) where he was an outstanding running back (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_back) in football (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_football).
Track and field




Dickey also excelled in track and field (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_and_field), winning the NCAA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA) championship in the 60 yard dash three times (1978–1980). Dickey was a World-Class sprinter. His 10.11 in the 100 meters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_meters) was the sixth fastest time in the world in 1978.[citation needed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)] He also posted a personal best of 6.10 seconds in the 55 meters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/55_meters).
At the 1980 Southwest Texas Indoor Track and Field Championship, Dickey finished second behind Herkie Walls (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herkie_Walls) in the 60-yard dash (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/60-yard_dash) (55 meters).[1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Dickey#cite_note-1)
Professional football career

He also was a professional football player who was selected by the Baltimore Colts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Indianapolis_Colts) in the 1st round (5th overall) of the 1980 NFL Draft (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_NFL_Draft). A running back from Texas A&M (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_A%26M_University), Dickey played in 7 NFL seasons from 1980–1986. In 1980, he was a rookie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rookie) sensation for Baltimore when he rushed for 11 touchdowns. His best year as a pro came during the 1983 season for the Colts when he rushed for 1,122 yards and 4 touchdowns. Plagued with injuries throughout his career, Dickey retired after the 1986 season with the Cleveland Browns (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Browns).

Bo never broke 10.3, while Dickey was world class.

Curtis Dickey was one of the fastest people on earth in a 60m and FAR faster than Bo Jackson in everything. His burst in a whole other level than what we saw out of Bo Jackson. Thing is Spur has no clue who Curtis Dickey even is.

I saw both play many times, when it came to just football speed, Dickey on a whole other level.

NFL fastest players ever and as we can see they do use 100m.

I never liked "Western's". My grandmother did.

I'm a metrosexual good looking guy... macho strongmen, cowboy culture honestly disgusts me.

Hard to beat a Louis L'Amour, Luke Short, Max Brand, Zane Grey novel about the old west. They are as good a read as it gets, with TONS of movies coming from the western writers.

You seem to have very narrow perimeters when it comes to reading.

Yes, I'm also talking about the movies. My grandmother's "westerns" always put me to sleep about 20 minutes into the movie.

I like most people love a good western. You have some weird stuff going on.

I use movies as a learning experience for real life because I'm an intelligent human being. I can't understand if I can't relate to any of the characters.

An intelligent human being needs to experience things totally out of their norm, that is where the depth of knowledge comes in.

I'm a huge fan of old primitive blues music from the 20's/30's. Some old black cat from Mississippi moanin' n' groanin' about how his woman is doing him wrong. I;m a white guy from Cali, but I know how to be southern and a poor black picking an old beat up geetar.

Don't really get it do ya?

I have been on Mars walking the dead sea bottoms, peaked over the walls at the Alamo, swung thru trees in darkest Africa, been with Mohammad in another caravan raid. Fuck can I relate.

What is this fascination with Bo Jackson? Gotta be the most overhyped American athlete in History. Because of a video game?
