I noticed you dropped that stupid...if you talk about it I''ll know it..hahaha!!!!!!! Dude, that would have gotten ugly.
Hahahahaha!!!!!!!
Adrian Peterson
Still not sure how a kid from Texas, with that kind of talent ended up at Oklahoma. Yep...curious! At over 6-0 200 pounds with legit 10.4 speed the cat is a load. Yep the total package. If he can stay healthy, no telling what he'll accomplish. A 2000 yd season ....sure!
I keep hearing about who he resembles. No not Eric erson, he's too shifty. Way faster than Calvin Hill or Ottis Anderson. Way faster than Chris Warren or Chuck Muncie. The thing about Peterson is that he doesn't run like a big guy. He makes moves usually reserved for smaller backs like a Barry Sanders or a Marshall Faulk. So I guess the word "unique" would fit and no he doesn't resemble anyone else.
What a shame he had to come along at a time when the Vikings had no QB or stud receivers. If they had a more balanced attack, he'd be even more effective.
I think it's safe to say that Peterson is already one of the top four backs in Vikings history.

There was a cat out of Stephen F.Austin named Andy Hopkins (Oilers) who was a 9.2 guy. He played a game or two as did Sultan "10.17" McCullough. Can't really have them there. If Holliday makes it, he's up there, same with Jamaal Charles.
No doubt erson/Dorsett/Sayers had great speed. Just don't have anything concrete as far as their track speed goes.
Then there's Napolean Kaufman, Justin Fargas and Reggie Bush who all ran in that 10.4 world as high schoolers. Peterson had a legit 10.3?
Then there was...
James McAlister a 27-0 footer out of UCLA. Didn't make it. Stone Johnson the Olympian /WR 200 man out of Grambling, died due to some injury. San Jose State's Ken "10.0" Thomas was injured....poof!!! Once beat Clancy Edwards!
Talking about the Chiefs....hmmmm?
Joe Delaney...drown
Derrick Thomas...died
Stone Johnson...died
Mack "The Truck" Lee Hill...died on the opera

How many almanac lists have there been in this thread?
Avante is more insecure than usual.
lol Visalia "art major"
Well you have to give credit, judging by their alumni, they are at least on the level of South Central Louisiana State University.
He never said he graduated.
two year college too.
Remains to be seen.
You can undoubtedly list a ton of names and/or track times that I don't know (and don't care about), but you will continue to fail at placing those names within any sort of context.
It's all about reading, knowing what books to read. I can sit it right now and take any Stanford grad to school on a mul ude of subjects.
You really think I can't go into detail over all those I listed? Would you read it, of course not. , you didn't even read the list, right? Then ya wonder why I don't dig deeper. Do you really want to read about Jesse Owens in 1936 at the Berlin Olympics.... no. Did you know old Jesse wasn't our best 100m sprinter, that our best was injured, no and you don't care.
Are you ever going to figure this out? Girl, I'm a reader..ok? Why do you fight this so hard?
If I told you the Stone Johnson story right now you wouldn't read it, I know that so I keep things simple, and you don't read that either.
You're incapable of writing anything that is coherent and that exemplifies a depth of knowledge of any of the subjects about which you claim expertise. You're simply not smart enough. Post something that proves otherwise, and I'll read it.
There are no professional wrestling almanac degrees.
You really think you are the only person alive who has ever read about Jesse Owens?
I see the fatty is melting down again per par, tbh.... next he'll claim that he "owns us" and brag about the number of pages in this thread, despite the fact that he's single-handedly responsible for 33% of the replies in it....
Hmmm?
Leroy Russell
Leroy came from a screwed up (3 brothers 2 sisters) family, they were into drugs andalcohol, they were always in trouble, no father in the home. Leroy was short and powerful, rarely went to school, yep...a thug. One day at track practice here comes Leroy with some of his fellow thugs. One of the them..."Leroy can outrun any of you guys". So our league champ a 10.2yards guy..."ok how much?" Being kids we didn't have any money so we scrounged round and came up with 20 bucks among (borrowing money) us. Where Leroy and his posse got 20 bucks..???
So there's our sprint champ in his track gear vs Leroy with his pant legs rolled up and bare foot. I was the starter and did have a stop watch. We had no starter pistol, so it was...ready, set...GO!!!!!!!!!!
Leroy expoded, race over!!! Not even close. DAMN....so how fast was it....9.8!!!!!!!!!!!
The thugs ..."ok pay up! " Leroy looking cool and calm, asked..."how fast man"...I replied...9.8. He just frowned and walked away. The tallest of his posse (had blood shot eyes) smiled and said....we just left the college (COS) Leroy ran a 9.7 over there and beat Early (Ocie Early a 9.9 guy). That's where we got our 20 bucksThen they all turned and walked away.
I most certainly own you that's for damn sure. I'm all you do on this board.
Nah, pretty sure I own you, fatty.... you can't stop copy/pasting one of your three generic comebacks to any of my posts
Community college art major track team anecdotes.
Lovely.
Sorry you never get any respect IRL, but this attempt will not make up for it.
Clearly untrue.
You get what you bring, do you really think I or anyone else is going to get creative with a guy so totally simple all he can do is leech off others? You're obviously too stupid for me to do little else but....you suck..etc etc etc.Nah, pretty sure I own you, fatty.... you can't stop copy/pasting one of your three generic comebacks to any of my posts
Start posting threads, show some creativity, take a strong stance on something/anything, do something other than...you're a got..and I would treay you differently, as of right now you simply aren't wirth much effort because you don't put out any.
That was mostly incoherent rambling. And an anecdote does not prove a depth of knowledge. I stick by my assertion you're incapable of anything more.Hmmm?

Here, I chose an easy one, and you can do it for free.

You have never been creative here at all.
You just meltdown over the slightest disagreement or criticism. Do you do this in real life? Just walk around the central valley spewing 1960s lane assignments and showing videos to people to show what mood you want to be in?
