Ahahaha... I'm clueless?

Using impromptu races against guys who ran BS football 40 times as evidence?

Using closing the gap on Robert Bailey -- who the hell is he? -- as evidence?

Using Superstars -- The Superstars! -- races as evidence? Did you also read that the timer visibly stopped at least a step before T.O. crossed the tape, or did you just leave that out? Sure, that means he can run a 9.85, which would only be one of the faster times ever run! At The Superstars!

And wow, he ran anchor for UT-Chattanooga! That means a lot. Why don't you bust out some of his times -- not relay times with a running start, but legit 100m times -- for your argument? What did he run at UT-C?

I won't call you clueless like you did me. It looks more like you got your feelings hurt because I dared to say that the Almighty T.O. was very fast but not the absolute fastest. Why does that upset some people? T.O. is a great player and he's devastating on the field. Don't take it personally that someone else might be just a little better in one area.

Absolutely laughable. I provide numerous examples of him putting on shocking displays of speed and you try to downplay each one. Should I also mention the 4.47 he ran on a HALLWAY FLOOR during his pro day (a time in his life when he wasn't NEARLY As fast as he is today...this was before he began doing intensive speed work and hired a personal trainer). The scouts actually deducted 5 hundredths of a second from his time to account for him running on such a slick/slow surface. That run was what got him drafted...he was an unproductive receiver from a tiny college.

What, is it all just one giant coincidence? I mean, there's me, who says he's simply the fastest player in football. And then there's you, who says:

*OMG, the clock screwed up at the end of that Superstars competition race (FYI: he was so far ahead of the record pace it doesn't even matter...it's more likely that they adjusted his time because Tiki Barber jumped the gun and started it early...it's too bad whoever runs that website didn't look into it)

*OMG, it's an impromptu race (*** do you mean by "BS football 40 time?" Michael Jennings placed second in the ACC outdoor championships in both the 200 and 400 meters...look it up). Jennings actually MADE the NY Giants roster despite never having played football in college--he was a Florida State sprinter. His speed is the only reason he even drew interest from NFL teams, and Owens challenged him to a race and beat him by 3-4 yards (the margin of victory per Skip Bayless's report...and Bayless HATES T.O.). That's about the same margin of victory as Usain Bolt had versus the second place finisher in the 100 meters. This was in a 40 yard race. In other words, you could've raced Owens and Jennings 100 times and Owens would've won all 100 of them, barring sudden illness or injury. Then it might just be a draw.

*Him catching Julius Jones when he's slowing down (which he didn't--he was at full speed trying to run away from the defensive backs) doesn't mean anything!!!

You're just an excuse machine when it comes to Owens's speed.

The most hilarious part of all of this is when you said "Owens is delusional about his speed." I'm pretty sure I remember us arguing a long time ago and you telling me "T.O. himself would tell you he's not that fast." What happened to that?

This is NOT going to be pretty.
