"In my mind, Ryan Hall has squandered his talent. I could not even believe his performance in LA Marathon. ... Hall needs to find a coach, stop tweeting, train and focus. How long does he expect sponsors to buy the peace, love and understanding approach he is taking? ... He runs right now like a someone who does not understand that he is in a competitive sport. .. I hate to see talent squandered, and Ryan Hall is one race from being a trivia question on Jeopardy."
