Cris Collinsworth: Well Al he did turn on the jets there but that speed as far as I can tell might only win him the Big 12 Title...

Post of the day :)

TLDR There's just no point in living life so angry over things that people say.

It was an important and iconic moment. You can have whatever feelings for the participants as you want, but you’ll never be a part of something impactful like that.

I've heard plenty of announcers on track and field meets that don't seem to grasp basic concepts of the sport.

It's hard to get worked up over football announcers that don't understand track.

American football players are the greatest athletes on earth.

The little skinny sprinters on the track circuit are fortunate that the footballers don’t run.

Same goes for shot disc javelin hammer pole vault high jump long jump.

The funniest is the weight throw indoors; every nfl lineman would crush the Ivy League effetes who win this event most years.

I expect football announcers to stick to what they know.

Giving millions of people bogus info is a good thing?

HS boys could dust any female sprinter.

These are guys at the pinnacle of their (heavily sought after and competitive) profession. You’re an insurance salesman arguing the semantics of the term “world-class”.

So all 10.24 sprinters now become WORLD CLASS? Is that fair to the real WORLD CLASS sprinters?

Keep in mind that 10.24 wa a windy time, I;m betting the guy pretty much ran 10.3ish. He has neverwon a WORLD CLASS 100m. He has never been on any USA team as a WORLD CLASS sprinter.

HS kids can run 10.24.

We had a few guys all caught up in the moment giving out bogus info. If they had been asked......ok so what did Goodwin run the 100 in? It would have been......"I don't know".

You are proving my point as to why they are wildly successful whereas you are a bum. Kept it up.

Proof that you just make up sh&t. A fella from former Soviet Union was 4th in 1972 Summer Olympics 100m final. Johnny "Lam" Jones was a 14 year old kid in 1972. Johnny "Lam" Jones was not 4th in 100m dash in any Olympic 100m final.

Dude, why would anyone make stuff up about sprinting? Don't be an idiot, simple mistake, Jones took 6th in the 76 Olympics.

With all that info, you will screw something up.

10.24 would be the national record in more than half the countries in the world. I consider that world class speed, especially when applied to a sport other than track.

Just because some countries lack world class athletes doesn't make a 10.24 a world class time. And the NFL has had a TON of guys with sub 10.20 jets.

What pro sprinter has a PR no faster than a 10.24? Give me the name of a world class sprinter who can't break 10.24, good luck.

I see what you are saying but think about it from a football perspective. What matters there would be 60m pbs or really 30-40 m pbs as that's where "a bomb" would be thrown. Only 11.1 % of NFL passes are even more than 20 yards.

Goodwin's 60m pb is 6.67. Asafa Powell's Jamaican record is 6.44.

If they ran all out at PR shape, 40m down the field Goodwin would be 1.4 m behind Powell. And that's about how much far behind your average 10.5-6 NFL corner would be behind Goodwin.
