Deer Rojo. Your an idiot.

You probably don't know why I'm saying that, but that is because your an idiot. It should be obvious to anybody who read your post just now.

Discus.

I hate those posters that point out how dumb someone is for not know your from you're, but it appears that you're the idiot.

This is crazy, any dodgy niggles in your hamstrings, racing on it will just be a disaster.

there are all kinds of red flags for clayton or should i say his coach.

he's an 800 guy that jumps into over distance, races a lot, and on top, he decides to double? that's playing with fire. the guy seems to be a horse, but you know that wheating broke down after his big season where he ran a full spring season, then went to europe for the full summer on top.

that was the end of him.

Injured in his first full season as a pro. Not exactly a stallion.

Also anyone who says deer or discus is a loser. The handful of letsrun sludge who think it's hilarious are sad.

I like murphy, but watching the race live and with all of the videos of him afterwards, it seemed like he gave up trying after Andrews made his move, and then faked an injury to avoid talking to the media and have an excuse.

Horses get injured all the time.

I have high hopes for him, but the double, in that heat, is proving to be too much for him. He has not looked good in any of his races here. I hope I'm wrong and he does well today in the 800m final, but I think he bit off more than he can chew...yet.

Especially an 800! Clayton, please just sit this one out.

Yeah, he needs a year or two to really build up his strength. He's undertrained in comparison to guys who've been putting in some decent mileage since they were 13 - 14 years old. He rarely went over 30 mpw until he started college. There's a lot of jealousy of Murphy on this board, similar to what we've seen directed at Rupp and to a lesser extent Centro over the years. All these guys who couldn't even break two in the 800 or 5 in the mile spewing venom. It's hilarious.

Guys he's fine.

The injury was fake.

He's a petulant kid who didn't know how to respond to failing to live up to the hype, and it was the easiest thing he could think of to get out of the situation.

He's a 1:42 runner. He's an olympic medalist. He's not over worked and falling apart by running a few rounds.

This concept of "don't want to be fast in May" is pure American, lazy, whiny nonsense. The Kenyans winning medals for the last few decades typically run 3:30 in Doha. The Americans run 3:42 in the same race, say they don't want to peak too early, that they're saving it for worlds, and then they get their doors blown off at worlds as well.

No Murphy on the start line.

scorching hot after-the-fact takes on here!!!!

"He will be ready". Didn't look that way today! No worlds for Clayton. Totally ruined his chances by trying for a near impossible double. Such a shame given that he's got the fastest time in the world this year. As surpreme dictator Trump would say, "sad"!

Glue factory? Well, that glue horse won an Olympic Bronze at Rio last Summer. When was the last time an American placed in that event?
