There was no bigger show-boat than Maurice Green

[HL]

No one beated their chest and pumped their fist like the 'goofy' Maurice Green. He had the word GOAT (Greatest Of All Times) tattooed on his arm.

Who remembered the Home Depot Invitational Meet in California when Maurice Green ran 9.86 ...(I think).

After the race, Green removed his running shoes on the track--then someone (from the crowd) came out with a fire-extinguisher and started spraying fire-retardant on Greens' shoes....

The commentators loved it!!!

I can site lots and lots of other 'inappropriate' behavior by American runners that went (for the most part ignored by the press).

My concern for Bolt is that he and his 'handlers'-- becomes aware of what is at stake.

For example: Bolt could have provided Puma their BIGGEST endorsement of their product...

Bolt must be aware that this is the beginning of a career that has mega million potential. Most corporations like likable people for their marketing campaign. It's a 'game' that Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and other mega millionaires know how to play. The media can make you or break you.

Yes, it is indeed sour grapes on the part of Bob Costas and NBC. Ato Bolton(sp) is only doing his job. His livelyhood depends on it. I have absolutely nothing against him. I respect him for his achievements.

[Exile]

Ato is a hypocrite! He was the one who was always shooing up to Green and pulling down his shirt to show off his muscles...he could talk?

[Jangle]

[HL]

99.9% of all that Ato said about Bolt is Positive.

[Assasin]

Contract a nuh nothing man.

[Exile]

[Jangle]

Unuh tink a monkey money we a talk bout


"The lanky 21-year-old, who is reported by the Financial Times to have boosted Puma's sale of sneakers by two million pairs in the first hour after taking the 100m title on Saturday, was diplomatic when asked if he would go after Johnson's 12-year-old record. "I'll leave it all on the track," he said."
