He's 200lb heavier than the average letsrunner. Something to ponder

Fatso reaches his top speed after 3 seconds. Bolt reaches his top speed after 8 seconds.

I'd like to nominate this for stupidest thing ever said on letsrun. The competition is quite steep, but I think this has a good chance.

I always laugh about how much Letsrunners overstate the impressiveness of sprint times. 5.6 is terrible. Just like 14.XX for 100m is terrible. I ran a laser-timed 4.89 as a sophomore in high school at the local college's football camp. Just last year, I easily dominated the top MS sprinter on the team that I coached. His best is 12.27 FAT. I am only a 1:13 half guy. This makes me slower than 90% of LR regulars. Please stop pretending like anyone here would not destroy this hobby jogging lineman.
Nothing says "I'm a great coach" like "dominating" a middle school kid and bragging about it online.

I'm guessing you think this is a dumb idea because you don't know the difference between speed and time. A sprinter accelelerates for the first 60m of a 100m race. Stopping short of 60m means that you don't hit top speed, and are therefore running slower than you would run in a 100m race.

I hate to say this, but Hingle was right. Yes, a 100m sprinter typically hits top speed around the 60m mark, but HardLoper wrote you run faster for 100m. If he wrote "part of 100m", he would have been correct. But the correct grammatical interpretation of what he wrote is that the runner is faster for the entire 100m. That's just wrong.
Chiefs Defensive Tackle Dontari Poe ran 4.98 at 340+, that's certainly faster than most letsrunners
Jadeveon Clowney ran 4.53 at 265

Lol is this a serious post?
football 40yd is a joke, if you want to compare them to a real sprint you have to add not only what the athlete's reaction time would have been, but also the timer's reaction time because they still to this day use hand timed starts, even in the NFL. They do have FAT times activated when the player starts moving, but they still average that with one hand time and one hybrid time.
So your 4.3 NFL player runs probably about 4.45 at best FAT, and their reaction time in a track event would bump it up to about 4.6 or 4.7.

Not sure how that speed translates to bowling.

"Great" is an understatement in this case. "The greastest" would have been much more fitting. Did I mention that the 12.27 athlete was a girl? She cried afterwards.

Most of the times are false, as they are hand timed or partially hand timed. But the 40 yd dash makes sense for football. No one runs much more than that on any given play, so why would their 200-400m dash times be as relevant? The average distance of a punt is 40yds, with an average hang time of 4 seconds. That's why a DB who can run a 40 in 4.3 is important.
Does it matter?
Even if you found a distance runner that could run that fast (doubt it) then he would still be SCRAWNY and then what's the point?
A 300+ lbs lineman can basically pick whatever girl he likes. they all lust after him and his PHYSIQUE.
Can't say the same thing about SKINNY runners, lol.
