Why do the LR boards hype American running so much when it's just not competitive at the sharp end in any race with a bit of competition.
Lots of talk, zero delivery.
God forbid we actually get excited about our top runner. I dont see any problem with hyping when we had a legitimate reason to believe he could be in the top 3. he was defending champ. In basketball, if the miami heat won the championship one year, then made it to the quarter finals the next year, thats not devastation, thats just good ol competition and makes it more interesting.
Yes it would have been interesting to see Galen A.) Win and B.) Beat farah, but he was only 3 seconds off per mile, which is encouraging that he is right up there.
