Lunn talking smack about Webb

Richard Smith, there's a good reason you couldn't get into college, and your post is proof.

What? Are you talking about the previous post about Webb vs. Lunn?

Lunn is officially a pecker. He has no guts compared to Webb with his typical American sit and kick style, and although Webb isn't exactly a pretty boy, he doesn't look near as stupid as Lunn does. Hand him his ass, Webb.

Ditto. And by Ditto I mean, I would like for Webb to hand everyone else in the final there asses as well.

Lunn is just not quick enough to beat Webb in a fast European type race. However, Lunn specializes in slow tactical races and has beaten Krummenacker is such a race. Still, Webb just has too much speed for Lunn to deal with.

What scares me is what happened to Whitman at the UK trials. He was beaten by inferior athletes in a very slow tactical race. Fortunately, this kind of think is rare.

Webb will most likely blow by Lunn and the other crew of sub 3:40 US runner.

If and when Lunn runs a A standard time people will then listen to him more seriously. Right now he is a high level B standard runner. On the world stage Lunn is a dime a dozen.

So if webb runs the way Lunn wants (slow and leaving it to a kick with a 100 to go, which is pussy shit),

Losing is pussy shit. Mid-distance is all about the kick...

I love webb. no one is allowed to say anything about him. i love him. he will win. he will like me. one day someone willlike me. I hate lunn. I hate anyone who does not lie down for webb. I wish webb would lie down on me.

I am now cheering for lunn just so these posers have a bad day.

Losing isnt "pussy-shit" if you put it all out on the line and bust your balls from start to finish. You may have less talent than the person who wins, but you're def. not a pussy. Ever heard of Steve Prefontaine? Not a pussy.

The article made Lunn sound pretty foolish. Saying he's only run well in rabbited races...oh, like Home Depot, where Lunn was in the field? Oh, ok.

He hasn't seen Webb "explode" from 100 out? He'd have to go back to Webb's HS days to see something like that, because since then Webb has been injured/struggling, or completely outclassed the field. Waiting that long for a kick isn't Webb's style anyway, and I doubt he'll take the risk of leaving it until that late in the race. If I were Lunn, I'd be a little more gracious, and just let my legs speak for me. Namely, knowing his strength, to stay and hang on Webb as long as possible in order to test his kick.

Home Depot was a rabbited race.

Yes, I've heard of Steve Prefontaine. And yes, I know that not everyone can win all the time. Pre might have both won and lost races in a charming way, but the bottom line in track is crossing the finish line before your opponents. If sitting and kicking is the smart thing to do to win, then why not do it? Because it's not as much of a crowd pleaser? Because it's "pussy shit?" I'll tell you what I remember most about Pre: he could have been a lot greater if his tact were as magnificent as his pride...

Lunn won 3 of the last four national champioships. I find it odd that anyone can mock his credentials. He also just ran 3:36. So, suck on that. I think it's great that the milers are finally talking some smack. Do any of you idiots realize how hypocritical it is to talk smack about Lunn talking smack? Go hide behind your keyboard you wankers.

Lunn has also been by far the most consistent American during those last four years, with a high percentage of times coming within a second or two of his PR. No American is even close to that.

They are wankers, mate.

Career Highlights: 2003 USA Outdoor Champion; 2002, 2003 USA Indoor champ

Lunn captured his second career national championship by winning the 2003 USA Indoor mile title over fellow Stanford alum Michael Stember by a half-second margin, and then added the outdoor title as well. Lunn won his first national title by winning the 2002 national indoor mile crown. He enjoyed a breakthrough year in 2000, finishing 2nd in the mile at the U.S. Indoor Championships and 4th in the 1500m at the U.S. Olympic Trials. After running 3:45s throughout 1999, Lunn served notice of what was to come in 2000 when he ran 3:40 in Canada late in the season. Lunn had the opportunity to make the U.S. Olympic Team by making the Olympic ‘A’ standard following the Trials. He bettered the standard of 3:36.80 with a PR of 3:36.74 in Zurich, but was bumped off the U.S. roster when his former Stanford teammate Michael Stember, who finished 3rd at the Trials, bettered the standard later in the season.

It's FINE if Lunn talkes smack. It makes it a lot more interesting. I'm not criticizing the smack, I'm just saying that now that Lunn has thrown down his gloves, I hope Webb beats in his roody-poo candy ass.

It's "rooty-poot" candy ass.

Poot! Poot!

Maybe Pre could have won more races if he had done what you want him to do, but Pre isn't the most famous and admired distance runner in the US for winning races.

Lunn has run the mile or 1500 races under 4:00 or its equilivant in the 1500, 46 times. By the time he ends his career he'll have double that. Webb is a great racer and will respond well at trials.

Lunn has never made either an Olympic or World Championship final. His success has been almost strictly on US soil.

Webb

That is how I believe it will finish Sunday.
