My roommate is on the track team and he said coach Bennie is doing great. He has also banned the use of the "n word" at practice

He was definitely fast, but I really don't remember him being more than an average receiver.


As with a lot of converted track guys, he had problems with his hands and some of the routes. Straight line speed does not always equal pretty, crisp routes. To his credit, he improved sufficiently over his career to be a solid contributer and was (briefly) an NFL wide receiver.

2004 Olympic finalist in the 400m hurdles - I seem to recall he hit a hurdle or 2 and finished last in the last heat, but that's still better than roughly 6 billion human beings.

I can't believe he's turning 30 next year. I am getting old.

He was the one player I actually knew. I met him the first time when he came to my place of business. We required ID, but he had his team USA jersey on, so it wasnt neccessary. Was always a stand up guy when I talked to him, not like all the stories you hear about degenerate athletes.
