WTF is everyone smoking? This has to be one of Nike's DUMBEST decisions. The guy was seriously thinking about quitting the sport and you sign him to a long term contract? He's already shown to have issues with motivation. I could understand a short term contract, but Nike is going to get burned by this 9 year deal.
And Engels is BAD for the sport. Sure, some low testosterone high schoolers like him because he has a mullet and a mustache, but he is doing NOTHING to bring new fans to the sport. Joe Dirt scares them away. He lives in a van and clearly has an alcohol problem. Not exactly my idea of a role model.
Remember when he celebrated early and then got SMOKED by a 3:38 guy?
not that hard to look at
with Nike backing him and putting him in the "safe to glow" category, he will get to sauce hard and get to that 3:28-29 realm
hobbs is with adidas
cole is with nike, and now craig signs a good deal.....they are betting on these two guys being the new face of americas 1500m...and well you gotta run sub 3:30 to be top dog so prepare for some serious burrito eating from these two.
