Yeah, that's true. There's a lot of hypocrisy out there, and even so in the distance running community, surpassing SFH. A lot of Jesus-jockeys who are self-serving joke Christians.

And it is always fantastic when you let 1% define the 100%. Always. No hypocrisy there.

My opinions are based on samples and experiences reflecting only 1%? This is based on what, your brain-dead reading miscomprehension of what I'm saying? I don't even get what you're trying to say, punk. Want to argue about morals and Christian doctrine? Bring it.

Prediction - Letsrun will pat itself on the back next time the obvious happens.

A biography on SFH might be interesting. An Autobiography by SFH will just be a whitewash....full of excuses, and manipulated to what she wants you to know.

I hope this book doesn't name names, or there are going to be a lot of husbands in T-R-O-U-B-L-E. Wait, maybe I do hope it names some names (or at least gives lots of details so we can speculate), that could be real interesting. I know my name won't be in the book.

I have two predictions:

1. The book does not do well.

2. There will not be a movie.

SFH is already busy booking speaking engagements and taking a very high profile road. The notoriety she earned for the call girl thing boosts her name recognition factor among people too young to have known her as an athlete. It's hard to fall from grace in our culture. On a (financial) cost-benefit analysis, she appears to be coming out well ahead on the investments of her 2012 year.

Im afraid your wrong. The book will do ok , sex sells and when it entails an attractive person with some notoriety people will have interest. If you recall when the story broke about Suzy it made international news around the world.

It may be made into a motion picture but it will be made into a TV movie , which can be lucrative back to author who sells books rights for the script.

The book will be uplifted if she names names or suggest's names as this creates scandal beyond the personal story .

As with any book launch so goes the tour to promote it , which will include TV , radio , book signings etc.

Our culture allows forgiveness as we have seen with many a politician do so called bad things and up up back in office , have their shows on cable television. Celebrities go to jail , pose naked for PR and we don't bat an eye.

We'll know who is correct in 8 months. If book is low-selling, there will be no movie.

There has been a lack of interest on this thread. And, the announcement that she was having a book resulted in all of 6-8 news stories, which indicates it is a yawner. Two leading indicators of where this will go.

For the book to work, it would have to be very well-written. So far, what she has on her blog is not top notch.

And there is the subject of her daughter. That is so sensitive that I don't think that anyone could balance that one properly. So, the "promotion" will be less than normal, which means the sales won't be as strong.

My my my. Methinks you protest too much.

it is best to let something like this sink into the murky past; time tends to erase a lot.

by publishing a book, you just tell everyone that you're still enmeshed in sickness.

i feel sorry for the husband and kid.
