Ummm...dear Bolt, ever heard of basketball?

The 24-year-old Bolt told BBC Radio on Sunday that "I always watch those guys and I think I could be a professional footballer. I'll try that -- maybe I could get into a good side or even an average side."

Bolt says he would be a "defensive or attacking midfielder."

i just lost quite a bit of respect for Bolt.

LOL! You used to actually have some respect for that clown? Ooops...I'd better watch my mouth, this is letsbolt.com after all.

he sounds like Shaq, trying to be bigger than life. Sounds like Brett Favre, always wanting to be in the news. Boring!!!

It's like going back in time to earlier this week, you know, when this was posted in several other threads!

Why hate the guy for trying something new? BTW I think he'd get owned on the soccer field. Thinking you can compete in pro sports is one thing, to actually follow through and play well is another even if you are a superhuman.

dang, i was hoping he'd move up to the 800/mile/5k/10k/marathon eventually. maybe soccer will be the gateway.

I think he should quit being a sissy and play WR on the Bengals.

I remember reading one of Bolt's idiotic quotes a few weeks ago in which he said he was going to try the long jump because it was "easier" than the 400. As if! This guy is smoking way too much weed.

He doesnt have the kind of rap sheet required to play for the Bengals.

Chad Ochocinco, Terrell Owens and Usain Bolt at slot. Oh boy.....

He could probably play for an American soccer team

In fact more power to him. Running is a dumb game just like every other sport. Maybe your just pissed cause he doesn't take running as serious as you do and he's the best and you suck.

He's not stoic Tyson Gay, but can you fault him for staying relevant? His season is done, but make a little comment and bam you're a headline for ESPN; how many other runners are mentioned?

He is actually an excellent cricket player and could have played for his country - he bashed around one of the top bowlers in west indies cricket at a charity game. He was also the quickest driver on a uk motoring show where celebrities compete against one another. He is a pretty talented all round sportsman and if he really took it seriously he could be pretty good....not quite as good as he is a sprinter but he must live his life the way he wants to not the way we think he should..

american football would be by far the easiest for him to switch to, you hardly need any skills for most positions. imagine him lining up at defensive end. if he has any hands put him at wide receiver or even tight end.

This may be the single stupidest comment I have ever read on any message board anywhere in the history of the world. Please tell me you are being sarcastic.

Usain is a really big Manchester United fan, hence the reason why he ran the 150m street race there.

you probably thought what you said was clever...it wasn't and if you come back on to comment again your corny, and for anyone who runs track, we all know, hell the jumpers know that jumping pales in comparison (pain wise) to running
