Charles and especially Rowlands delusionally arrogant.
Charles and especially Rowlands delusionally arrogant.
This was my thinking exactly. Obviously he was an Olympian which is impressive and we can't take that away from him, but I can say with 100percent certain symmonds solomon and brazier are all far better than him, his making the team was a fluke. He washed out of the freakin heats in 147 if we wanted that we should have picked Brandon Mcgorty
If I had to make a list of 10 Americans to run at word relays I would have
Loxsom, brazier, sowinski, Murphy, kidder, walker, Solomon, Harris , Andrews and centro, all hands down better and more consistent runners than jock so I think he should be greatful he was nominated and should stop whining cuz he was lucky to even go to the olympics
my guess is that the guys got over there.....did a workout or two and the other members of the relay team didnt want him running.
coach isnt making this decision by himself.
OTC is easily the most annoying pro group. Arrogant and entitled. Besides the 2 Gopher alumni there the whole group doesn't really ever perform.

And he's only broken 1:46 3 times over the past 3 outdoor seasons (not including 2017). No, it's not all about times, but why should he be guaranteed a spot?
He shouldn't be guaranteed a spot, but he should be told whether or not he has a spot before he shows up at the competition.
He was probably given the same info as everyone else. Did any other alternates mistakenly think they were guaranteed a spot?
My guess is that he, his coach, or his agent read the selection criteria, and because "Olympians" was listed first, he/they assumed he was guaranteed a spot.

I was thinking his horse?...;)
Why horse?
The bike reply is spot on and witty
only thing I can come up with is an allusion to getting off his high horse.
Wow, Jock just stunk up the track at his alma mater. Lost to a 1:48 college guy. Rowland, Nike and OTC have ruined this guy.
