Was Chris Barnicle high during trials... He says "No Comment"

Another person who has no right to complain when running gets zero respect as a sport. If runners don\'t take it seriously, no one else should be expected to. Like Montano in 2013, this is just embarrassing and I\'d be in favor of suspension/fines for this amount of disrespect.

Sorry, but what did Montano do that was disrespectful to the sport?

I love how he admits to trolling on all of us here!

Peyton Manning, Super Bowl 50

Show me the stories from after that game that glorified his actions. Also, what were his stats for that game...as that is the point.

His stats were bad and he was ejected. 1922 was his worst season, hands down. There's teally no use comparing sports journalism from the 20s to Internet articles today in tone but here you go . . . Calls him a "great star."

1) crowd jeered.

(So people didn't make a hero out of him for that performance.)

2) First at bat, sacrifice bunt that advanced to runners who ended up scoring. Next at bat, narrowly missed getting a double, which led to his confrontation with the umpire.

So he had contributed greatly and was not lauded for a performance nowhere near a professional level.

So zero for two. Nice try though; thanks for playing :)

Peyton Manning, Super Bowl 50

Sorry, I forgot Manning lost the game and performed at a level over 50% of the population could achieve. Thanks for clearing that up.

50% of the population, LOL you are f*cking delusional bro. He qualified with a time that 0.0001% could not run and he has smoked and had edibles for years.

I'm not sure what that even means. I guess you're trying to be sarcastic, but it's not working very well.

Perhaps you're not a football fan. Fine, let me explain. For the Super Bowl, Peyton Manning clearly met your criteria of someone who "lines up knowing they are far below the standards that got them there" and across the country there were "people celebrating the fact."

So, it was found in this major sport and you were wrong.

They should have yanked that bum off the course after the first lap when it was apparent he was making a mockery of the race.

How is completing the race "making a mockery" of it?

Waste of talent...

Saw him run many times In person...just think what he could have done without the distraction.

I bet he rubbed John McConnell the wrong way hence the transfer to nm.

Which "distraction"...Crohn's disease or one of his four stress fractures?

I think the marijuana fanatics are a riot I always saw them at Ocean Beach acting as if they are some sort of super hero, they have this attitude more or less like people are jealous of how cool they are. I am sure some of them would go to the extent of inputting there marijuana addiction on a job resume expecting the hiring agency to review it and think "Wow now here is an applicant this guy has some hobbies". The reality they lack is that they are as stated above no different then an alcoholic from my perspective marijuana addicts become so infatuated with the lifestyle that they become unable to hold down a career just as sever alcoholics are the difference is there are more alcoholics on Forbes list of Billionaires then there are marijuana addicts. My reasoning for this is because heavily fought success and the fear of failure can often lead to alcoholism where as most failures in life are considered a pot head. At least the alcoholics are typically not walking around town with a giant picture of grain alcohol on there shirts indicating help support the movement because they have the common sense for the most part to at least understand that not all is right upstairs better keep it to myself!!! This is just my two sense.

Learn how to write bro, this was a train wreck.

Wow, that may just be the most ignorant post I've ever read on letsrun and that's saying something. Congratulations.

Waste of a talent? How? How is focusing solely on running anything that is productive to the world?

At least with alcoholics you don't have to listen to them tell you endlessly how good alcohol is for you.

Please. There are so many quacky pseudo scientific "nutrition" articles touting the "benefits of booze" proven by poorly conducted studies that people seriously tout these claims. I was told, "too bad you don't drink wine everyday anymore. So healthy.". Uhhh. No. Not going to eat heaps of dark chocolate either. But, yea, potsmokers to take the quackery to a new level. I will say that.

You should utilize your own advice!
