If I could change.............

[spurraider21]

Bo was too much for the human body, too fast and too strong - the body couldn't handle it. I always wonder how far he'd have gone if he kept up healthy, probably would have picked up a third sport

i have the old got on ignore but you quoted him so it shows up. lol what a moron. talking about a guy who runs 100m races which is completely irrelevant in the NFL. the entire football field is less than 100 meters, and nobody determines NFL speed by seeing how fast they run end zone to end zone. what matters is the burst to get past the first 2 levels of the defense and to pull away from the secondary. this is why the combine uses the 40 yard dash.

and this guy pretends to be an expert on football and track~~~~

What a dummy, wow~~~~~



Curtis ey 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 ey even is.

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

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


hese require an accurate wind gauge and a tail wind of at most 2.0 meters/second.

Time	Hand	Wind	Athlete	App	Date	Location	Notes	Pro Bowl selections
9.95		0.3	Jim Hines	1/2	October 14, 1968	Mexico City, Mexico	Olympic 100m final, al ude > 1000m[2]
10.00		0.3	Trindon Holliday	1/2	June 10, 2009	Fayetteville, Arkansas	NCAA 100m final[3]
10.01		1.6	Jeff Demps	1/2	June 28, 2008	Eugene, Oregon	high school senior[3]
10.01		0.9	Jacoby Ford		June 10, 2009	Fayetteville, Arkansas	NCAA 100m round 1[4]
10.06		1.3	Bob Hayes	1/2	October 15, 1964	Tokyo, Japan	Olympic 100m final, cinder track[5]	3
10.06		1.6	Ron Brown	1/2	August 28, 1983	Zürich, Switzerland	[3]	1
10.07		2.0	Alvis Whitted	1/2	July 15, 1996	Nassau, Bahamas	[3]
10.08		0.1	Darrell Green		April 13, 1983	San Angelo, Texas	[3]	7
10.09		1.4	Sam Graddy	1/2	May 12, 1984	Baton Rouge, Louisiana	[3]
10.10		1.9	Willie Gault	1/3	June 5, 1982	Provo, Utah	al ude > 1000m[6]
10.11		1.7	Curtis ey		June 2, 1978	Eugene, Oregon	[7]$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$

Forget Hines he was a failed experiment and Demps never did make any roster. So ey was one of the top 10 fastest NFLers ever.

Bo is way down there with a 10.3 something.

Spur needs to shut up when it comes to things he knows about.

It's funny how you tell him you have him on ignore but he still answers you, but he's deathly afraid to engage Dok or I since The Outing.

One of the more interesting stories is that of TCU RB/sprinter Cy Leland back in the 30's. A white RB who actually ran a World Record 9.4 100 yard dash. That is STILL unheard of.

That's right Larry, keep running from me. You always have even when you weren't ignoring me.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Like anything else, some do and some don't.

I do however prefer more the Sword & Sorcery like Conan, Hercules, Solomon Kane etc.

those suck too.

The only supernatural movies that are decent are ones with a believable science component, and not your garden variety crap like Star Trek, either.

Totally disagree, some of the most entertaining books are those featuring heroic fantasy. And I;ve read all that Hemingway, Bertram Russell, Sinclair Lewis, ens, Fitzgerald, Melville, etc etc stuff.

Greek/Roman mythology a fantastic literary trip.

Conan, Tarzan, Thor, Hercules, King Kull all movies from the books, myths.

All great stuff.

[Avant]

Lord of the Rings...epic by Tolkien
The 12 Robert E. Howards ..Conan...saga
The 11 book ...John Carter on Mars..books by ERB.
All of H.P.Lovecrafts stuff
And this....
https://www.amazon.com/Elric-Melnibo.../dp/0441203981

All must reads.

I've read all the Middle Earth books, from the Silmarillion to the Hobbit to every page of the LOTR, before I was 12. That's still my all time favorite. But that was the exception.


Harry Potter by example is mediocre literature that's cute if you're a 14 year old emo girl. Same for Twilight.

Greek/Roman and Abrahamic (Old/New Testament, Islam) are all fascinating mythologies because of not only how great the stories were for their time, but also when you realize just the sheer amount of billions over time who actually believe(d) these stories were/are true!

But it doesn't change the fact they were all fiction with minimal to zero scientific support.

Ever thought of widening those horizons a bit?

I read....

Westerns
Sports
Lee Child
James Lee Burke
James Patterson
All the classic authors I mentioned above
All those classic Sci fi authors like Wells, Asimov, Henlien, Stapeldon, Clarke, Anderson, , etc etc

I need it all just not Harry Potter.

Key word....entertainment..... scientific support.

I do agree there is some great stuff in all mythology. Don't forget Norse mythology.

My favorite stories outside LOTR were all realistic, mortal fiction.

DMC, like I told you before, you suck at this, ok? How damn stupid was that? Come on man.

We all have our thing, nothing right or wrong.

NOBODY...writes the western like Louis L'Amour, nobody does the supernatural like H.P.Lovecraft and nobody does heroic fantasy like Robert E. Howard. You find this out with time.

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.

any movie made before, say the mid 90s just is a bore to me tbh. I can't watch a movie I can't relate to.

Who relates to most movies? Movies are escapism, you are being taken far away from where you feel safe.......relate????????????
