You know, it's kind of what they did then. So

(01:39):
that has all happening tomorrow and that means pe that
we get started an hour early tomorrow, a two o'clock

Speaker 3 (01:52):

It's fun in effect, it's the Yeah, we're three.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Final our fun facts. What do several Olympic athletes, former
NFL players, and many of the best college and high
school coaches across the nation have in common? They are
graduates and current students at Kacordia University Irvine's Masters in
Coaching and Administration's program. Find out more at CUI dot
edu slash coaching.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Did you know one last one for our friends in Colorado?
As they pronounced it out there, Colorado asnycholgious leave after
a four game series? Did you know Denver was the
first city to decline hosting the Olympics. Denver was chosen
to host the nineteen seventy six Winter Olympics in nineteen seventy,

(03:20):
but after calculating the costs that they would have to
invest and due to public sentiment, they let the Olympic
Committee know in nineteen seventy two that ain't gonna happen.
We ain't doing it, and the Olympics had to shift immediately.
They went to Innsbruck, Austria, something reportedly that Los Angeles

(03:42):
would like to do in light of the wildfires in
all of the situations they're dealing with right now. But
zombie towers, zombie towers, wildfires, natural disasters, lack of public transportation,
all of those issues.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Freeway Matt, your favorite.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Civic failure, that is the five Freeway. All issues, but
La unfortunately in a tight spot, not able to pull
out like Denver did back in seventy two for the
seventy six Winter Olympics.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Can't believe they want to pull out.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
I can't believe they asked for it in the first place.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Was that before or after the zombie towers were erected
or vacated?

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Ummm, that's I would have said, question considering how far
along they are that the because that was before I
believe they were purchased by the Chinese investment group. I
think at that point it was still an American real
estate investment before it was purchased by a Chinese interest.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Whatever it is, and then abandoned a stain on our
skyline three fisters.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
I have now seen it in our three preseason games.
They did not have I don't think they had the
equipment at the high school stadium. No, they did not.
They had it. So let me think. Yes, I've seen
it twice now both times it's so far they did
not have the Hawkeye equipment in place in No, they did,

(05:19):
so I've seen it three times. Yeah, they had it there.
They had it at the Hall of Fame game. Yes,
it sucks, but today Walt Anderson, head of officiating, on
a conference call, asked for us to be patient that
it's getting better and that they are in fact going
to be using it this year to improve replay reviews

(05:40):
and the first down measurements this season that will no
longer be used by a chain game. Now the officials
will still spot it. There is no chip in the ball.
This is just a series of cameras that they have
invested in. At all thirty, I think it would be
thirty stadiums, yes, because you have two here and two
that play in the same sum in New York. So

(06:01):
all thirty stadiums now have twelve fixed cameras on every
single boundary in every single game. The angles Walt detailed
will improve instant replay. There is one on each side
of both sidelines, there is one on each side of
both goal lines, and one on each side of both

(06:23):
end lines. Quote. Those twelve cameras will be part of
the replay system for every replay throughout every game. The
camera angles that we now have access to will be
incredibly helpful. He added. It will make the replay process faster,

(06:48):
to which I say, that's great. I'm excited. The replay
system is faster. But unless you can get the referee
to move his ass that Microsoft Surface twelve inch screen
that somehow we're to believe is worthy of replay on
the field. So you can get your Microsoft Surface plug in,

(07:11):
then it really doesn't matter. Oh so can we get
rid of the Microsoft Surface. It reminds everybody has those
matt you know. It's like it's like the iPhone. Those
things are very prevalent everywhere. Everywhere you look, the thing
is and it reminds me of something that we do regularly. Now, Look,
Sweet James comes on yesterday and he's great. He pens

(07:32):
a letter, it's brilliant. The segments are good. People enjoy them.
But sometimes we'll have a salesperson come to us and say, hey,
can you put this guy on? And we say, look,
can we just promote it and not have that person
come on, because if we promote, it's probably gonna go
a lot farther than just talking to that person for
seven or eight minutes that people might not be as

(07:54):
interested in. I don't need to see the referee staring
at a Microsoft Surface screen in order to feel like
I need to go buy a Microsoft Surface. Just go
ahead and give them some pub during the game. Let
the thing sit in front of the iPad that or
the Apple the MacBook that they're actually using behind it,

(08:15):
because they're not using the Microsoft surface in the coaches booth.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Do that.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
I don't need the referee looking at a ten inch
screen when the people in New York are staring at
a three hundred inch screen in order to make the
decision on replay with their brand new twelve cameras that
are supposed to be a faster part of the process.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
I mean, yeah, the twelve cameras, I mean, because that's
you know that, then the TV's got all their cameras
which they're also using. So right, you've got twenty plus
cameras at least on every NFL game. The problem is
now somebody's got to sort all that out for the
replay too. So I mean, yeah, it might make it faster,
it might make it take longer if there's more angles

(08:52):
to check.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
God forbid and be see it, see it. That's the
last thing we need is frame by frohw. We slowed
it on to twenty.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Five, you know what I mean? Though, yeah, I know
what there are like sometimes.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
A look at that other wrangle on the backside. Oh,
let me get the goal line A. Well, you're absolutely right.
It gives them more to look.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
At late night Mountain West game, Matt. If we got
six seven cameras, you know, you get your replays and hey,
that's a shot, brother, make a call.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Yeah, and let me say this, that's all we got, dude, Hey,
make that there? Should they're truly if if if the NFL,
who refuses to take anything from anyone, and when they do,
they don't claim that they took up from him. It's
like they just stumbled upon it themselves. But God forbid
they take something from baseball and the pitch clock. You
got to put a timer on replay sixty seconds. Hey,

(09:40):
if we can't overturn it in sixty seconds, call in
the field stands. And then the TV's not showing replays
to the people at home. And we move on the
idea this hawkeye system, and I know it's in its
infancy and it was the Hall of Fame game, but
they don't even have the whatever reason, the ability to
pipe that hawk eye camera onto the scoreboard in the stadiums.

(10:03):
So while they're reviewing the spot on the field, you're
staring at a referee who's staring at the ground with nothing.
You're you don't get to see the replay. There is
no like in tennis where they show that super cool
ball coming in and the the you know, the shadow
of the ball hitting the line or not. There's none
of that, and I don't get the sense that there

(10:24):
is going to be end of any of that. So
that's great. You got rid of the chain gain and
it certainly seemed like it was a bit of an
archaic system, but it worked. It was fun watching those
guys run out out of the field and then they
put the link down, I mean, and then they would
pull it out and you're there. There's there's tension building
and excitement and and will the ball, Lena? Why get

(10:45):
rid of that? Why get rid of that? It's it's like,
it's it's not is it exact?

Speaker 1 (10:51):
No?

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Do every now and then you get something wrong by
an inch or two inches maybe, But it's a hell
of a lot better than sitting around because technology is
advanced to a point where someone in a dark room
is able to stare at this while we sit with
our junk in our hands for two and a half minutes. Sorry,
that was today. Walt Anderson second thing you brought up.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Pee, We'll see how it shakes out.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, hopefully they'll get it figured out. Second thing is
they're cleaning up the game. Man. I know as much
as you like a guy making a big tackle, pumping
that shotgun and blowing that dude's face, I.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Love the shotgun to the face celebration.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
I'm gonna blow your face off. Wow, those are out.
There will be no simulating shooting a gun, brandishing a gun,
pumping a gun, pulling up your waisted, displaying your waistband
to suggest you have a gun tucked boys in the
hood style.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
I can't spin my football and shoot at it.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
I don't think so. Nothing with a gun is allowed.
That is, and whenever you hear these three words, you
better believe the first two weeks, if you can play
the over under, you're playing the over a number of
unsportsmanlike penalties because it is a quote point of emphasis.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Well, as long as I can get my homo erotic
TikTok dances, then I'm fine.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
They said that that you're well, you can't be because
sexual gestures are out as well. They said that throat
slash happened. I love gun, brand machine and unfortunate. This
is exactly what it's. This is how it is described
from the conference call unfortunate sexual gestures. We're up one

(12:40):
hundred and thirty three percent last year.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Ortunate.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Now, if you're Doug Baldwin, can you make the football
into a piece of crap and let it come out
and simulate it coming out of your butt? I don't know.
I don't find that to be a sexual gesture, and
I don't think there's anything to do with a gun
in that. But I'm going to guess that may fall
into the cat glory of unsportsmanlike gestures and you may
not want to find out. So I also, you know

(13:06):
what else they're getting rid of pe the nosewipe. Oh yeah,
the swallowing your finger gang related. Oh for real, they
say nosewipe gang related. So nosewipe is out as well.
Unfortunate sexual gestures, any gun brand ish, anything to do

(13:27):
with a gun, no throat slash, that is what is out.
So beware, folks. Get it out of you. High school
kids that are listening to us right now, get it
out of your game immediately, because it will not play
any young all right, not gonna play in the NFL. Kid.
And finally pr third thing had a wonderful conversation just

(13:50):
a little nugget, had a wonderful conversation earlier with Chargers
quarterback Trey Lance. Just an incredibly likable young man. And
you say young man because this came up. We were
talking about that odd COVID year at North Dakota State.
People may forget, you know, he won the national championship,

(14:11):
went undefeated, didn't throw an interception through for twenty four TDS,
ran for another fourteen, just incredible season. The following year
COVID hits and they only played one game. One single
game was their entire season. Before he left for the
NFL and was the third overall pick. He was detailing

(14:31):
how that season was supposed to go, and he's like, yeah,
you know, we were supposed to play Oregon. We got
that game with Oregon and people were freaking out, like
we couldn't believe that they agreed to play us. We
were excited to play him, and then they canceled, unfortunately,
and then mentioned that his head coach had to make

(14:53):
overall one hundred calls before they could find I think
it was Arkansas State that agreed to play them, had
to make a one hundred before he could find a
team willing to play a game in the world of
everything shut down because of COVID, not the interesting part
of the conversation. Interesting part of the conversation is a
reminder is Trey Lance is now in year five of

(15:14):
his NFL career, year five and on his third team.
And you know where this is going because you called
some of his games. The quarterback for that Oregon team
that was supposed to face off against Trey Lance, Saints
rookie Tyler Shuck, Yes, who is a rookie in the

(15:34):
NFL this season, as Trey Lance has already found his
way to his third team after being the number three
overall pick five years ago by the San Francisco forty Minutes.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
There's a lot of ways to make money, Matt.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Okay, certain Tyler Shuck is a rookie.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
It's a lot of ways to make money.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
And his Oregon team canceled on North Dakota State in
that code.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
They gave up on Anthony Richardson and he's like twelve
years old. Right, all right, we'll be right back with
some moro NFL talk. We'll have Mark Schlarathon in the
very next segment to talk about the NFL because football
season is upon us. We had baseball all day. We're
talking some foosball today.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with

Speaker 3 (17:08):
All right, Matt, one of our favorites joining us right
now on your Southern California Toyota. Neither celebrity Hotline and
the Rocky Mountains where the Dodgers are just leaving. Twelve
years in the NFL, three times Super Bowl champ Washington
and the Broncos. He's a hero coast to coast in

(17:32):
the world of football, and of course he calls games
at Fox Sports. I saw him at the seminar and
admired him from afar. The great Mark Schlareth is joining
us promoting renegade fantasy because he truly is a renegade
of the world of pulling, blocking and cutting. But he's

(17:54):
stay up too. H We love you, Mark, Thanks for
coming on.

Speaker 5 (17:57):
How are you doing, great man?

Speaker 4 (18:00):
Always good to be with you guys. Great to hear
your boys. How you doing.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
We're good. Matt's out of Charger camp and I'm here
in the studio and most of the talk here in
Los Angeles is about Matt Stafford and it's back. But
you know, guys that are older, that have played a
long time in the NFL, that have had a lot
of success, sometimes their injuries clear up right before the

(18:24):
first game. How do you see this situation and what
do you think the Rams are going to do?

Speaker 5 (18:30):
Yeah, you know, I talked to somebody within the Rams organization.
They were like, Hey, we're just playing it really safe,
we're being really careful, blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
And that's great. I mean, that's that's awesome to think
that way.

Speaker 5 (18:42):
I just know when you get older and you have
back issues, which I do, Man, those things like you
could be feeling great, you could be practicing on Friday,
Saturday feeling great. You could sneeze on Saturday night and
be out for the game on Sunday, Like that's that's
how those things go sometimes. So always a little bit
concerned because you look at the Rams right now, the

(19:04):
way they are built, the way they're constructed, the way
they run the ball, the physicality with which they play,
the pass rush, and the defense they have. I mean,
if Matthew Stafford's on the team, they're legit Super Bowl contender.
If he's not, they're not. And so you know, obviously
you hope that he's going to be fine. You think
that he's going to be fine, but there's always that
outside chance that something, you know, something just doesn't feel right,

(19:29):
doesn't restricts his ability to play or to throw the ball.
Like that's always scary for me when it comes to
the back you.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Played for two of the greatest coaches to ever do it.
What is it that makes McVeigh great? What do you
think it is? Mark? I mean, I know people talk
about him as one of the great offensive play callers,
but it's clear that he's got some sort of culture
thing going there as well. They develop undrafted free agents
back end of the draft kind of guys, like, what
do you notice that that is special about him?

Speaker 5 (19:57):
Well, you know, we always talk about creating culture, and
it's really easy to talk about it's really hard to do.
But for the first time I ever walked into the
RAMS facility to meet with Sean McVay and he didn't
know me for Adam, you know, I mean, we had.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
Never met before.

Speaker 5 (20:13):
I always think about a quote that I heard years
and years ago, one hundred years ago. Everybody's heard it
is there's two types of people in the world. Those
who energize the room when they walk in it, and
those who energize the room when they walk out of it.
And that dude walks into a room and brings freaking
energy man, and he lights up the room, and he's

(20:34):
so excited and so passionate about what he's doing, and
he gets guys on board, and not only that, Like
it's one thing to do that, but then you've got
to have success. You've got to be great at what
you do from the standpoint of game planning, from the
standpoint of mitigating your own potential disasters, from putting guys

(20:54):
in great positions and off that tree. Whether it's McVeigh,
whether it's you know, from Mike Shanahan to Kyle Shanahan
to McVeigh. One of the things those guys do exceptionally
well is they tell you, hey, listen, we're gonna do this.
This is what we're gonna do, and we're going to
run like I'll give you. For instance, we're to run

(21:15):
this running play. We're gonna run at least six times
in this game. This running play ain't worth a crap.
It's gonna happen about two yards of carry.

Speaker 4 (21:23):
But the reason we're going.

Speaker 5 (21:24):
To do that is because if you sell out as
a receiver, as if you sell out as a tight end,
if you sell out as the fullback or the running back,
even though we're only going to average about two yards
per carry on this because they've got us flanked on
this play, we're gonna get a you know, big time
explosive passing game, a pass for you in the play

(21:44):
action game, big time explosive pass for you, big one
for you, and you're gonna get a touchdown. And then ultimately,
and I saw Mike Shanahan do this forever as I
played for him for six years. He tells you, this
is what we're gonna do. This, why we're gonna call
it this one, we're gonna do it, and sure and
this is how we're gonna score on it. And sure enough, man,
it would just fall into place exactly like he.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
Said it was going to fall into place.

Speaker 5 (22:06):
And when you and when you create that atmosphere in
that culture, and then you follow it up with being
brilliant in a football parlance.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
Guys are excited to play for you. And so he
gets total.

Speaker 5 (22:18):
And complete buy in from the guys who play for him.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Yeah, Mark, and you know, Petro Smachi, I'm here at
Charger camp and I work for the Chargers, so I
got to see it. Last year. A five win team
turns into an eleven win team, and they do it
in the manner that that coach charboss said they were
going to do it. So when you look at Harbaugh
and year two and just kind of what he's tried
to bring back to this team, the physicality, the run
first mentality. They draft the running back in the first round,

(22:43):
just in twenty twenty five. You know, your thoughts on
how Harball plays Harbass style football and if it's a
style of football and with this team that can win
a Super Bowl.

Speaker 5 (22:53):
Yeah, anytime you can run the ball and you can
play physical like, you're gonna.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
Win the majority of your games.

Speaker 5 (22:59):
You know, you play a physical style, physical brand of football,
you're gonna win eighty percent of your games, regardless who
your quarterback is. And you know, and I just believe
that to be true. The other thing that I think
is really interesting. You see the cyclical nature of football
and way teams ran the ball last year and how
how much success they.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
Had running the ball. Well, part of that.

Speaker 5 (23:17):
Is because guys are you know, they're more committed to it.
But the other part of that is, hey, man, you're
adjusting to the defense and what the defense has done
and what is the defense done. I mean they're going, oh,
you're gonna play as a base We're gonna play you
nickel to that, you know, or we're gonna play. You
dime to that we're gonna play the little people, you know,
and it's it's interesting. In my time, you know, it
was nothing to have two hundred and fifty two hundred

(23:38):
and sixty pounds linebacker.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
You just like it was a battle.

Speaker 5 (23:41):
And now everybody's two fifteen to two twenty running around
and you know, can you cover a tight end? Can
you cover it back out of the backfield? You know
what happens when they get multiple tied informations, we need
little guys. And I think one of the things that
has happened is is teams have gone, hey, listen, man,
if you're gonna match us up with little guys, we're
just gonna try.

Speaker 4 (23:58):
To pumble you.

Speaker 5 (24:00):
And you know, we used to have this rule kind
of jokingly, but it was real like if a fight
breaks out and it comes between the little guy and
the big guy, hit the little guy, they go down easier.
So I mean that was just kind of a philosophy
of playing. So I think a lot of teams have
gotten to the point where, you know, they're so busy
trying to defend the past, they're so busy trying to
be fast and sideline the sideline and speed. One thing

(24:22):
about speed, especially sideline to sideline speed. The way you
attack sideline the sideline speed is you don't run sideline
the sideline, you run downhill and you make a guy
that's really athletics stop his feet, and then you say,
you know we're gonna take you on. And you know,
Jim Harbaugh's got a three hundred pounds full back for
crying out a lot of your former defensive linemen.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
You know that, Like teams have gone that way.

Speaker 5 (24:44):
So you're gonna have a little two hundred twenty pound linebacker
take on that three hundred pound dude. You know he's
gonna scramble his noggin.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
The great Mark shlearra Fox sports legend in the NFL
and a hero to us all Idaho vandal. Let's go
Moscow now, Justin Herbert's in a tough division with a
lot of really good quarterbacks. Bo Nick's a young quarterback too.
Is he renegade fantasy worthy this year for you? What

(25:13):
kind of leap does he have to take? Or is
it not all up to him? Obviously we give the
quarterback too much credit and too much blame.

Speaker 5 (25:20):
Yeah, yeah, I don't like I think that I think
that he's Herbert's a great young quarterback and really has
played exceptionally well, you know, come playoff time. They haven't
produced in the playoffs, and that's been more of a
team thing than anything else. And it's what Jim harball.
You know, he's got to corerect, correct him what he's

(25:40):
trying to get done there. But I think, I think that.

Speaker 4 (25:44):
Dude is phenomenal.

Speaker 5 (25:45):
Now, I'm not one of those guys that overloads you
with wide receivers, you know, And you know, the Bengals
think they can corner the market on wide receivers. They
you should trade for McLaurin right and get three guys
that they got to get the ball to and sitting
shotgun the whole time. Let them, uh, you know, just
beat the snot out of their quarterback. I just think
that is stupidity. So I just don't like the way

(26:07):
they're built. But I love the way Jim has built
the Chargers, and I like, I think that Herbert's going
to continue to excel and it's only a matter of
time before they get the right matchups of the playoffs
and go deep.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
Tell us about Renegade Fantasy Mark. It sounds intriguing. It
sounds like it's a real kick ass fantasy endeavor.

Speaker 5 (26:26):
Yeah, it's it's actually it's really cool because I mean
unless unless you're a victim. Like, if you're a victim,
don't play. Yeah, they don't play. Like if you want
to blame your running back or blame your quarterback or
whatever it's it, then then don't don't play our app.
But our fantasy our fantasy league.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
We've got uh, we've got patent.

Speaker 5 (26:47):
On your ability to change out in game your roster.
So your running back gets injured or is having a
bad game, second quarter, pull him, put your backup in.
It starts from right there. Same thing with the quarterback.
Real game like game time moves on your fantasy app,
with your fantasy players, tight ends, receivers.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
Guy gets injured in the.

Speaker 5 (27:08):
First quarter, pull them the third play, pulling he's not performing,
pulling at halftime. You're the coach of your fantasy team.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
William Murdoch would have been two hundred and seventy one today.
Born in Old Cumnock, Scotland. His father was an artillery
gunner and a craftsman. He was a smart kid. When
he was just nine he figured out how to construct
a wooden horse on wheels that he propelled by hand cranks.
When he was thirteen, and again this is the late

(29:23):
seventeen hundreds, when he was thirteen he did the calculations
and guided construction on a bridge over the River Nith
in his neighborhood. He did experiments with cold gas using
a copper kettle in an effort to produce continuous light,
something that he would discover way down the road. Our

(29:44):
guy Billy, when he was twenty three, decides he wants
to work with James Watt, the famous James Watt, a
steam engine manufacturer, So he sets off on foot and
covers three hundred miles to ask James for a job.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
If you wanted something, you really had to want it
back in those day.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yes, we're gonna I'm gonna walk three hundred miles to
go get this gig. Watt was so impressed by Billy's
wooden hat that he wore he had made it himself
on a laid of his own design, that he hired
him on the spot, and under a year he was
Watt's most valuable worker. He developed the first pneumatic message system.
Think about the banks back in the day when you
put the tube in and it would just suck your deposites.

(30:26):
He did that. He built the first individual steam powered vehicle.
It was like a giant adult shrike that he displayed
in London in seventeen ninety five. He fell off and
it ran away and kept going and apparently rolled in
front of a church, and the evangelical preacher there thought
it was the devil himself when he saw the mechanical device.

(30:47):
He came up with iron cement. But he is best
known for gas lighting, which replaced oil and tallow produced lights.
So they're using tallow, they're using oil. Seventeen ninety two
he started arts. By ninety four he was producing coal gas.
His house was the first ever to be lit by gas.
The Soho Foundry in eighteen oh two was the first

(31:08):
public exhibition, and the Phillips and Leek Cotton Mill in
Manchester was fully lit by nine hundred and four gas
lights in eighteen oh five. His own home in Birmingham,
p was full of inventions gas lighting, a door bell
that worked on compressed air, an air conditioning system, central heat,
a gravity fed piped hot water system. A brilliant guy.

(31:30):
He lived to be eighty five. William Murdoch, Jamaican News.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
We don't do this very of It's Jamaica News. Zigup
rockstorn was. I just thought it would be a good
thing to do, to take little time out to celebrate
the accomplishments of a man widely regarded as the greatest
sprinter of all time all time. Usain Bolt barn in

(31:57):
Sherwood content in Trelawney, Jamaica, went to William Nibb High School.
At nib At cricket practice, Pablo McNeil, a former Olympic sprinter,
noticed that he was fast and became his coach, where

(32:18):
he had a very prominent junior career, but Pablo often
frustrated with his lack of dedication to the sport. His
second coach got a lot out of him, Fitz Coleman.
Not the weatherman fits Coleman, and he was a great

(32:38):
junior runner, but he was more of a four hundred
two hundred guy. A leg injury. He was going to
compete in the two hundred and maybe win in Athens
in two thousand and four, but a leg injury made
it so he didn't make the final. But from then
on he dominated track and field to the tune of

(32:59):
eleven World Championships, eight Olympic goals. He is the record
holder nine point five eight in the one hundred and
that was in Berlin, and the two hundred nine point
one nine set in two thousand uh twelve in London,

(33:21):
and the Jamaican four x one record two so and
he's still the record holder in all three of those events.
The only reason they got the four by one is
because I am, and he's still the greatest sprinter of
all time. In a day and age of people being

(33:42):
better and better and better at everything every year, this
guy is in a league of his own.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
I didn't feel like anyone's going to touch it.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
He's Catholic, he loves the call of duty. He loves
Mario kart Oh. One of his legs is longer than
the other due to koliosis as a child, and all
the micro scientists or whatever the physicists can't tell if
it helps or hurts.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
I'm gonna go with it helps. I guess that's what
I'm gonna go with, guys, and go with it helps.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
Twenty twenty three, he got robbed via fraud of twelve
million dollars out of his bank account. That money is
still being reimbursed. Yeah, unfortunate, halted a lot of his
charity stuff. It seems like he loves reggae and has
produced some dancehall stuff and DJed events. He does celebrity
soccer too, where he plays with teams for friendlies. Dated

(34:36):
a fashion model, but a Slovenian one, but has three
kids with a Jamaican model. Hey Usain Bolt the greatest
sprinter that ever lived. And that's it for us, So
thank you for your attention and we'll be back tomorrow
at two live from the Van's headquarter. The band for
