Well, looks like Ryan is back to writing his blog himself:
"While, I can’t say I am not a huge fan of the many 180 degree turns we will have to make during the coarse of the run ..."

Nobody is surprised that the guy is a moron anymore. He reemphasizes it every time he opens his mouth.
"While, I can’t say I am not a huge fan of the many 180 degree turns we will have to make during the coarse of the run I am extremely excited about the atmosphere, people, and venue that Houston will provide for the trials. I love running in front of the fans in Houston and I loved the flow of the course." I feel like in the first sentence he was trying to say that he didn't really like the course but in the second sentence he said he loved the flow of the course... Does he like it or not??
Three hairpin turns on a US championship course is a bit much. Hall was simply trying to express his disappointment with the course without being rude.

Then he should have written, "I can say I am not a big fan of the three 180 degree turns."
But what he wrote actually translates, via the double negative, to him liking the turns.
Second sentence:
"It was one of those rare weekends were not only were Sara and I competing on the same weekend"
My 3rd grader knows the difference between "were" and "where". I suppose you could argue that it's a typo and he forgot the h, but I see this mistake all the time. Although not as often as "there", "their" and "they're".
Almost as bad as my son's preschool teacher sending a note home that my son "is aloud to bring in xxx next week".
"aloud"? Really?
coarse?
special ed?
Apparently God's his coach and his proof reader.
Sure, it looks like he didn't bother proofing what he wrote. More than anything, your bringing it up makes you look insecure and petty. It almost seems as if you are looking to call someone out just to make yourself look smarter. I often wonder why most of you waste SO much time correcting other people's grammar? It's a blog. Not life or death. People don't win awards for being the first to correct mistakes. Come on...
it has been clear for some time that ryan lacks a college graduate grasp of language. it has also become clear that he was at stanford because of his athletics, not his brains.

I agree with this. I'd love for posters on here to have a blog that we could read so that it too could be critized so heavily.
In your mind you probably think you are much better than him (grammatically) but if you opened yourself up via a blog (that people actually pay attention to) I'm positive you would be heavily criticized too.
I read many blogs and very rarely notice such glaring grammatical and spelling errors. It does not take much effort to proofread what you write before sending an email or publishing a blog entry. I don't think this is a question of education, though I'm not sure what it implies about Ryan as a person.
A better first sentence would have been "Grigor Samsa awoke one morning to find he had been transformed into a giant insect."

It is possible to dislike the 180 degree turns while at the same time appreciating the rest of the course (the over all flow, sans the 180 turns) and the atmosphere, people, and venue. His comment made sense to me.
