MichiganMan113 is trying hard to be the dumbest poster on the planet:

MichiganMan113 said:
4.13 is actually very "possible" to run, a world record sprinter with spikes and a track can easily run a 4.13 40...now my guess is its a shuttle time or it's 4.31...

I wish I had bookmarked posts I made years back showing the breakdown of the 9.79 world-record 100m and what the 40-yard split ended up being (somewhere around 4.3 IIRC). Maybe a better way of proving what a dipshit MichiganMan113 is would be by looking at the world record for the 60m sprint, which is 6.39 seconds ran by Maurice Green on February 3, 1998 in Madrid, Spain. The 60m sprint is equivalent to a 65.6yd sprint. Going by the over-simplistic approach of dividing 40 yards by 65.6 yards and then using that result time to multiply the 6.39 60m time, you'd get 3.90 seconds. But, realize that the 60m time would actually be faster "per yard" because a smaller percentage of the distance is spent accelerating (if you took the time-per-yard speed of the 25.6 yards after the initial 40 yards, you'd find it to be much faster because now the sprinter is at or near full speed, whereas the virtually the entire initial 40 yards is spent accelerating. Thus, this method is flawed. A 6.39 second time for 65.6 yards would likely be a low 4.3 first-40. Thus, any goofball that boasts of a football player running anything under a mid-4.3 is just that...a goofus. And anyone who for a picosecond believes a 4.13 40-yard dash in anywhere near the realm of human possibility needs to be immediately institutionalized.

There are a number of posters on that board that could give him a run for his money. For instance, "powalifter", who a couple weeks ago said Beanie wasn't one of the top-10 backs in the country and that Javon Ringer was a better back (I think I linked the whole thread in Beanie's thread, he had a number of side-splitters). That board is populated by an unusual amount of morons...even by scout board standards.

KILLER shoes :lol:

Don't miss the extra white stripe on the toe :lol:

The kidney stripe really isn't that bad, the piping is worse. It doesn't fit at all. Those shoes are not going to be selling many replicas around the nation, no matter how many programs Adidas picks up.

Surprisingly, I like the new away uniforms. They look much better on a person than I previously thought.



Still not a huge fan of the piping, but the side-stripes aren't that bad.


Now, the cleats are a different story...

Dash of doubt

San Diego Union-Tribune
By Mark Zeigler
STAFF WRITER

There is no official world record for 40 yards.
The shortest distance that the IAAF, track and field's international governing body, recognizes for world-record purposes is an indoor 50 meters, or about 54 yards. It is 5.56 seconds and it was set by Canadian sprinter Donovan Bailey in 1996. There is also a world record for 60 meters – 6.39 seconds by American Maurice Greene in 1998.

But it is another Canadian, Ben Johnson, who is believed to have run 40 yards faster than any human in history. Johnson is best known for injecting copious amounts of steroids and winning the 100 meters at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul in 9.79 seconds, only to have his gold medal and world record stripped after failing a post-race drug test.

Timing officials have since broken down that famed race into 10-meter increments, and Johnson was so preposterously fast that he went through 50 meters in 5.52 seconds and 60 meters in 6.37 – both under the current world records at those distances. He went through 40 yards that day in 4.38 seconds.

He was running in spikes . . . on a warm afternoon perfectly suited for sprinting . . . with a slight tailwind . . . with years of training from arguably track's top coach, Charlie Francis . . . with Carl Lewis and six others of the fastest men on the planet chasing him . . . with 69,000 people roaring at Seoul's Olympic Stadium . . . with hundreds of millions of people watching on TV . . . with the ultimate prize in sports, an Olympic gold medal, at stake.

And, as we learned later, with muscles built with the assistance of the anabolic steroid stanazolol.

Four-point-three-eight seconds.

Then again, maybe Ben Johnson isn't the fastest 40-yard man in the world.

Maybe half the NFL is faster.
