    Great article on Jordan:

    http://www.letsrun.com/news/2014/08/long-road-jordan-mcnamaras-injury-filled-path-success/

    How can that guy not be everyone's favorite pro runner? To me, it seems that so many pros don't seem to be into running.

    This guy had pictures of runners up on the wall in HS. Was banging out the mileage and simply won't give up on the dream.

    Contrast that to some of the other pros who seem to be super talented but not give a damn. Lots of them claim they want to be the best but they won't even leave the city they live in, or move back home at the first chance, or never race as they are constantly hurt.

    In McNamara, I've finally found a guy who I feel like I would be if I had way more talent. Awesome.

    Check out his Instagram.

    http://instagram.com/jordanmcnamara

    Cool stuff on there.

    He'd be a better rep for the sport than Manzano/Symmonds if he could get the performances they have achieved. I don't know if that will be possible for him, but he's doing a good job with the platform he has right now.

    McNamara will never be America's premiere 1500m guy because nobody can touch Centro. Fact

    Most people have on idea who Jordan is. Not even track fans know him. So I doubt he's America's favorite.

    OP didn't say premiere, he said favorite. In pro sports, my favorite athletes are rarely, acutally maybe never the very best.

    I like the underdogs and what not. Very best naturally just come across as arrogant whether true or not.

    Op, yes. I'll be rooting for him now on.

    I like McNamara.

    Doesn't mean I have a problem with the other pros or don't think they love running as well.
