Is something wrong with that? I don't look at other teams indifferently. I have a dislike for every one ranging from a 3 to about an 8 on a 1 - 10 scale. Depending on who they are. If we were a better team I might have a 9 or a 10 like I despised the 49ers for 2 decades.

Herb Washington

Herb Washington was a great indoor sprinter he was the first to run a 5.8 which erased 22 names at 5.9.

His start was supernatural, I have never seen anyone more....Wow!

He was thin, axtually frail would work si the 100 was a bit much foe him he was "good" there but nothing like he was at 60.

Way to frail for football, but did have a look by the Colts.

Charles Finley the eccentric owner of the Oakland A’s back in the 70’s used a 25 man roster spot for Herb just so the manager Dick Williams could use him as a “ pinch runner “ late in a game thinking Herb could steal a base take an extra base on a hit after he was inserted into the game . Finley was quite a character as an owner .

Running the bases stealing bases in baseball takes an instinct for the game Herb never had he was a sprinter not a ball player . It was a Finley gimmick .

I agree but.......his speed was far FAR superior to any baseball player you'd think it would have made a big difference.....nope!

The story here is ...

Guy was an amazing track athlete as an Arizona high schooler, who also played football. While at Oregon he starred in the hurdles and tried to play football but kept getting hurt, so he gave up the sport.

Two time Olympian, a USA National champion, one of the top hurdlers in the world and USA history. Now the guy is going to return to football, this is a unique situation have never seen this before.

And all you can do is...I hope he gets smoked,,,,,,,come on guy, sheesh!!!!!

i hope he gets smoked
