¶ Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone dominated 400-meter semifinals
After nearly two decades.
Nineteen years Sonya Richards Ross held the American record in the four hundred meters at a time of forty eight seventy on the exact same day nineteen years ago. Nineteen years later, Sidney McGlocklin took it down in the semifinals of the World Track and Field Championships. McLaughlin Clark forty eight twenty nine. I think that's off ashes the seventh fastest time in history, not the eleventh, but it is the fastest time by an American. She took point four
to one seconds off the American record. Sid says she was shocked at the performance, saying she wasn't expecting that. That's a blistering time, and she backed it down at the end. Maybe I'm the only one of that lied that. Remember when Matalin of Coke set the world record of forty seven sixty, there's only been two women that's ever
cracked up forty eight. Cratchilova, who's an eight hundred meter runner, Ojo she ran forty eight ninety she ran forty seven ninety nine, and then Coke ended up running forty seven sixty. And if I'm not mistaken, I think she ran it from lane two. Now Nasa has been down there. I think she's forty eight eleven. I think Paulino, who's actually in this race. I think she's running like forty eight seventeen. Marie Jose Perect, the French lady. She's back to back
Olympic champ. She also won the two hundred in Atlanta. She won the four and the two. I'm trying to think who else has been a low time? They had this Russian Brasina, she ran on the eighty eight team. I think she was the one to help flow Joe off. If I'm not mistaken on Joe, my memory serves me correct. They've been a few Kathy Freeman, They've been some great four hundred meter runners, Valerie brisco Hook, Kathy Freeman, Perect, Nasa, Paulino,
Coke Cratchilova. The said McLaughlin, and she said something very interesting. She said, look, let somebody go up under forty eight before we start talking about forty seven sixty, because I don't think, I don't think understand what people understand just how fast that is for a woman that's book it. You literally, she's gonna, they're gonna, You're gonna probably have.
To go out in twenty two seconds and hold it and come home in twenty five twenty five five. Let that thinking, because normally they're going out in twenty three and try to come home in twenty five. She's gonna have to go out in twenty two and come home in twenty five and a half.
She's got the people in the race that could push her. Nassert takes the pace out. Paulino liked the track.
She likes.
She like she played with fire there and I almost didn't make it. But we'll see what her luck Sidney. Sidney's fitness is impeccable. I believe it's gonna take low forty eight forty eight, oh or they might have to dip under forty eight in order for her to win this gold medal.
Yeah, when is that race?
Well, I think it's today already over there, Well today, well it'll be it'll be today for tomorrow for us, because I think they're day ahead of us.
Yeah, so it'll be Thursday, so it'll be Friday for them.
So then yeah, I mean, said man, And she told Louis she wasn't expecting that because you know, normally, oh show you, I'm doing just enough when to qualify the third plane and then now in the finals, I can drop the hammer. But to run forty eight twenty nine and take four to one point four to one off the American record, you cruising?
She was cruising. She was cruising.
And see this is why Simke Bowl the Dutch runner can't beat in the hurdles. She ain't got the footspeed she had the fue right, I mean, what you're gonna do? What what were you gonna do with someone that can run a forty can run forty eight seconds. I mean, it's gonna be very impressive if she abandoned the hurdles and sets her sight in twenty eight and the open door and she get the world record.
In the in the four and the hurdles. Yeah, Lord, because I didn't think.
I didn't think in my lifetime I would see somebody get this cold record, this forty records forty years old. I felt that, oh to. I mean, nobody's come close. There's only been two women in the history that's ever run sub forty eight, So what mad and nobody's coming close? Like a Nasa ran forty and eleven, but she got popped right, So like uh correct when she ran when she ran, and the French runner when she's a double four hundred.
There ain't been a whole lot of women double up. I think.
Seannie Miller Weibo, I think she doubled up also, But oh t, that's booking.
That is booking, very and I think people really don't understand how fast it is in reference you're saying booking. Unless you watch track, unless you know track.
You realize how hard it is to run, is how hard it is to run a fifty second lap, unless that's suspect to run forty nine, to run forty eight for a woman, and then we talking about forty seven. If see it get if see it break this world record, that record might be like both. You may have to go three four, five by three generations before you see somebody break that record, break it again, because I think that's what's gonna happen with both. Because we haven't seen
we haven't seen anybody come close. The closest anybody's ever come was Tyson Gay and Johann Blake at nine sixty eight.
He was at nine fifty.
Eight, hey for boat was moving and everything.
I still believe oh Yo had he not celebrated Beijing, right, I'm.
Hitting the chest.
He's low, he's low nine fifty. He might even go not sub nine fifty. That he broke the guys, he's light years in front of everybody. I just I just I just wish he I just wish. But he was so happy. I understand the moment. I just wish he had.
Ran through the tape. I just wish he'd ran through the tape because that time would have never been broken. Nobody's ever.
You're gonna have to be on a motorcycle or have a hurricane behind you. That's the one or two things. You on a motorcycle or you got a hurricane behind you.
That's it. Ever.
But said she's she's in. She's in phenomenal shape. And I think it's gonna take a special time. I think it's gonna be forty eight oh or sub. I don't think I think the world record is safe. Me personally, I think the world record is safe. But I do think forty eight oh or maybe a tick on the forty eight.
It is doable. I think it's doable.
And then I think, uh, I think over the next you know, could she possibly double? They're gonna have to set the schedule like they did for Michael Johnson. Valerie Briscoe Hooks. I forgot about Valerie brisco Hooks. I forgot she was a great u uh. She was the first person to pull the double the four to two and she did it in eighty four. So we've had Shanja Cheeseborough, We've had some great runners in the four hundred.
Well, hold on, we got a great four hundred runner right now in the family.
Oh your daughter, yeah, ryh Yeah, I.
Hope, I hope you watching? You see what said doing you know yucky shoo? Yeah? Yeah, she out there. Yeah, she had been in Kentucky. Yeah, yeah, she better be watching.
Well.
I think the head coach when Seid with with eedrich Floor, I think he's at University of Texas.
Now, I think so. I think, if I'm not mistaken, I think he's at the un I think he's at UT now. But Sid's booking.
As just the it's the seventh fastest, not the eleventh fastest.
Correct, it's the leventh fastest. Nah mm hmmm.
I'm gonna disagree because forty seven, sixty, forty seven, ninety nine, forty eight, fourteen, forty eight, seventeen, forty eight twenty five, Marie Jose Perect forty eight twenty seven OGA, Brazilia and Sidney McLaughlin's number seven at forty eight twenty nine.
So I don't know where they get this from.
The level the fastest timed by Kathy Freeman forty eight sixty three at the Olympics in Atlanta. So we're gonna disagree with We're gonna disagree with the USA today a USA track and field. Yeah, I would disagree the level of the fast hold on this says the level fastest time in history. How uh, pull it up? Pull it up, pull it up, ash right, quick google it because something ain't adding up. I hope they ain't threw men in there.
Oh oh oh okay, So what they're doing if she ran more than one time under the time on the seas time, they're counting that.
Okay, So I was just.
Wow.
Yeah, but look, I'm gonna leave that alone because we know where the system that the East Germans and the old Soviet had in place. But let's leave that alone. Hey, she ran the time, it got ratified. Hey, we'll leave
that alone. Ocho, okay, okay, the eleventh fastest time, the seventh fastest person because Coke ran two, she ran forty eight sixteen twice, and she ran forty eight twenty two, So she got four of the top for the top fast seven seven times in the country, Gold medal in one hundred and ten meters hurdles, Grant Holloways trying to
¶ Medalists from Track & Field

But uh, congratulations to all the winners, Ryan, crowds of gold medal. Yes, uh.
In cordial tench unbelievable. We keep we keep the gold here, we go, keep that gold medal here. Hey, don't think I didn't see what y'all said, Jamaica, but were about to get that gold medal, were about to get gold and.
Silver into two hundred.
Let them know, y'all be talking, y'all make it seemed like the Olympics just inserted one hundred meters in two thousand and eight. When you say burst on the team on the scene. Now, I'm not gonna take anything from it. He's the greatest sprinterer that ever lived. Facts not gonna take anything from it. But when it comes to sprinting and and and it's an incredible What did Jamaica have been able to do when you look at oo a country that size you're talking about, you know what four
million people? Yea, and to have the greatest I mean and and and some of the women. I mean you look at Shelle Ann Fraser. I mean they've always merlin Otti. Uh she never won gold, but you know she was always silver, bronze uh the Olympics and the World Championships, so.
They've had they've had good, good sprinters uh.
VCB for Ronica Camber Brown, Sharon Stewart, they've had great women's sprinters. So don't get me wrong. I don't want to say anything, but y'all know, y'all know what is right. Y'all know what taber is. Okay, So you go back and look at the World Championships over say, the last fifteen twenty years.
I mean we right there.
I know y'all think the Jamaica's you know, been running fast, but go back and look at it, go back and look it up. I know y'all only go back to two thousand and eight because you saying and I get all that, but you know, the Olympics, the modern Olympics, is one hundred and thirty years old. They first instituted of the Olympics, the modern Olympics, in eighteen ninety six. I'm just you know, I just say, I just say it.
If you look at it, if you look at.
It, gold medal in the Olympics, gold medal in the World Championships.
I eh, I feel very comfortable.
Y'all have I feel y'all have the greatest male and female woman sprint of all time. Yes, you saying it is the greatest, is the greatest male, He's the greatest sprinter woman sprinter?
Is Shelle A? Praise your price?
Absolutely.
I'm not arguing that. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not arguing that Shelley add is unbelievable. I mean, five World championships, two Olympic goals, h a two hundred meters championship, two four point one championships. What's the RG He's the greatest? You said. I don't even have to say anything.
I don't need to say, hey, you just say, you say both the greatest sprinter ever, Shelley add is the greatest woman sprinter ever.
But you know, we're gonna see what we're gonna see. We're gonna try to think it. We're gonna beg it two for two sweep steaks, Hey, MJ and y'all already. Noah got something, y'all oblaque seeing the two hundred. Christane, go see him in the two hundred. Y'all want some, y'all want smoke?
Yeah, all my fellow Jamaicans, Yeah, I love you, every last one of you.
I give him Jamaica noxtails at least once a month. A yeah. Well yeah, but y'all be be talking reckless back.
Look, first of all, it is an upset because Norah was the ragining Olympic and World champ. What do you mean it wasn't an upset. It is if you beat the champ upset. I'm not saying that Oblique hadn't been running well. No, I hadn't been No, I hadn't had a whole He was dealing with some injuries, that's what he said. He didn't run a whole lot, didn't run a whole lot one hundred meters, didn't run home. And
he's he's taught himself. He's a two hundred meter specialist, like you saying that taught himself how to be a good hundred meter run. Oh ya, but I gave Seville and and and Thompson the credit. They go under gold and simply dead to beat him.
But I'm worried. I'm worried. I'm worried about this two hundred looking he seems.
To be fit, so it should look. We know about we know about Noah, we know about the Narried, we know about Tobogo. I don't know if anybody else can really challenge those three. Noah seems to be as he's run and he had to run rounds. He's kind of run himself. Uh uh condition to where it needs to because there's nothing like racing. You got that practice all you want to, but you got a race, right, You got to get your body condition to run those four rounds.
And uh, I like no chances we'll see. I love it now, I don't like everybody.
I love it.
I love it, Yes, and if he if he doesn't win, it's going to be an upset. It is.
I know Tobogo, but I mean you're talking about the guy that's won what three world championships. Uh, and everybody that's in this race. He has the fastest time he's run nineteen thirty one he has the fastest time this year in nineteen sixty three. Big Nerik is closed behind him in nineteen sixty seven, and then Tobogo is at what seventies nineteen seventy six.
We know Tobogo is running.
I think he ran nineteen forty one nineteen forty three at the Olympics, So we know Tobogo can run. We know he has two hundred meters capabilities. He got dqued out of the one hundred meters. But it's gonna be interesting to see. God don't know it. Who want a bad something on it? Put something on it? What y'all got, What y'all got, Jamaicas, What y'all want to put on this? But y'all want to put a man out of yourself.
¶ NFL feels Aaron Rodgers more comfortable with the Steelers
I'm taking Noah, were getting gold and silver. We're gonna pay y'all last back. Y'all took gold and silver in the hundred. We fin to take gold and silver into two hundred. That what we're about to do, O joe, That we're about to do. What we got next?
What we got next? Oh Joe.
One NFL scout field Aaron Rodgers looked more comfortable with the Steelers that he did during his camp final campaign with the Jets. FC scout told ESPN Jeremy Foler that rogers Week five game with the Jets last season in London mark six to eight weeks of absolute zero mobility due to injury. He was compromised and it showed. But just being a year removed from an achilles tear, he seems a little bit more secure and a little less
hesitant compared to a year ago. After Week two lost, Rogers said he believed he's moving a little bit better than in the season opener. Look, first of all, he's fought about to be forty one and he's coming off in Achilles injury. I mean, it wasn't like he was Michael vick or or Lamar Jackson to begin with. But at your age, and you got that that's a significant injury. Oho, that used to be a death sentence. You got that injury.
Absolutely.
Now they're a career ender. Put it like that.
So but for him to still be able to like he can buy time, ojo, he was not. He was athletic enough to get out of harm's way and be able to move. He doesn't move with it the ease that he once did, but he still can he can make it. He can move well enough to make plays. And yes, the year is the year after the surgery, but it's the year after that, o Joe. So last year was that first year, but that next year after
you get a little bit of that. That's the Adrian Peters of sports, because we saw a guy get his tear me up in December and then come back just will follow in September, and it's like, ain't h man, they lied? He twenty ninety seven won't the MVP offa the yees. So he got people spoiled that have a significant injury and come back And it wasn't the year after, it was the very year after.
It wasn't a year after the year, it was that next season and he did that.
So yeah, but uh, I think the thing is is that with Rogers, if you go back and look at him, Ojo the games that he played really well Jacksonville and Miami. Late in the season, it's warm weather. We'll see when the temper just starts to get cold, and it will in Pittsburgh and the temperature will get cold and where Ojo Cincinnati, and it will get cold in Baltimore. And you know, as we get to Oh, there's a reason why people moved as people start to age. They moved
to Arizona, they moved to Florida. They not tried to be a no damn cold whether city choe. Okay, like my grandma said, you old booms ain't what they used to be.
Yeah, I mean, even though even though he's not where he used to be, he's coming from the coldest where the city replaying football and then being in Pittsburgh it gets cold. But we talk about you know, thirty forty that's cold. You're playing below zero, Yes, those zero at times. So I think he's gonna fare. He's gonna be okay, especially a year and a year removed from that surgery.
He's gonna be all right, especially with the scout is saying about him looking a little more calm, a little bit more comfortable in the popular especially when he's having to extend plays. You know, he's gonna be alright. You're gonna be all right, right, Oh.
Choll say he's gonna be alright. Oh, y'all Atlanta Facons back up.
Kirk Cousins isn't unanimously viewed as an impact or contributor
¶ Kirk Cousins retiring soon?
under center within the league. According to the NFL NFL inside of James Palmer, there were some people around the league that I talked to. Kirk Cousins is essentially done. Nah, he's still collecting the check. He still got somebody danna receive the report that the Falcons don't have any immediate plans to trade Cousins despite several injuries to starting quarterbacks on opposing teams.
I think if somebody reached out.
I don't hate. I don't hate Atlanta. Don't hate because what your kid, what you could do? Listen. I'm not Mike Brown, I'm not Katie Blackburn, I'm not Troy Blackburn. I'm not Duke Toobin. But I know if all else fails, we can go ahead and get Kirk Cousins over there the Cincinnati.
What's money'll pay that? You know he got?
You know he got that forty million on that contract. Oh Joe, this year, I know, and he got another He gave fifty thirty with me. Now, how much of that is Atlanta willing to pay? I'm not finishing, Oh, Yoe. So let me get this straight. You want to move in the my house and you want well, hey, how much how much of the mortgage are you gonna play nothing because I've.
Okay, I'm I'm just I'm just throwing at I'm just thought, listen, I'm just talking. I know what he can do at the quarterbacks when it comes to throwing that goddamn ball. And you got too phenomenal, the best duo in the NFL over there in Cincinnati. But we're good.
We got Yeah. I do believe because guess what, O Yoe? You know your offensive line is not the best. And what can and what can he do?
Move? Yeah?
He can't, so he can't. That wasn't necessary, though. You ain't have to bring that up.
You want to get dam and be like Joe Burrow. So you have two quarterbacks.
You didn't need to bring up anything about our offensive line. You didn't have to do.
Y'all know the offensive line ain't good. They say they know your offensive line ain't good. O.
Yo, it's better than the Broncos.
It's not.
Did y'all win last week?
No, we did not win, O Joe.
Hey, Well you shouldn't be You shouldn't even talking about football. You shouldn't even be talking about football.
¶ Ben Johnson on Bears practice
Okay, got me, you got me?
Ben Johnson says Bears don't have championship caliber practice habits. Yet the Bears are zero to two and on the NFL worst point differential minus thirty four, which pretty much speaks for itself. For Johnson to problem stem from the part of bad preparation because his squad practice bad habits aren't yet reflection of are yet to reflect a championship caliber team. We should be going to football finishing hard. We talk about this all the time with offensive players
that are fundamentals. I finished our technique, then they show up. If it walked through, that's you. Let me finish this on, Joe. They need to show up on the practice field. That's how you show up on game day. Simple things, how we properly blocked, how we catch the ball, how we block after the catch, ball.
Security, things like that.
It's the little things that you learn in youth league football that even at this level, they make a huge difference.
When Mike first got there nineteen ninety five.
O Joe, Yeah, put up.
They'll say this is what I expect.
You catch a pass. I don't care how far the past is. You finish forty yards, okay, he said. When we do walkthroughs, it's really not a walkthrough. It's a job through. This is how we do. We don't walk on the field, We don't walk off the field. We jog on, we jog off. They thought Michael bullshit, They thought back was bulldriving right right right after he started cutting a few people. We got everybody underbout the attention.
Oh yeah, absolutely, and then.
You know we win in everybody start to feel good, O Joe. We go to walk through.
Guys out there in tims, guys out there, guys out there in tims, guys out there in ugs hey, because Mike would be like, we like we be practicing right wire with Joe. Mike would be down there, like twenty thirty yards. Yeah, and he had his arms folded. It didn't normally he's to have his arms. He normally have his hands in his pockets. Anybody you played for the
Broncos or you're a reporter, you've been around him. You know he's standing down there, he got his hands in his pocket that day, has arms.
Just like this here.
I'm like, man, who was that? Who was acting? I'm damn Tim, That's what I want to know.
I was he?
He ain't say nothing because normally you know he has he he had a call sheet, and you'll cool. He'll like cool, which means he wanted to see the first play again.
Cool. Right, he wants to see plays number six again. I ain't say nothing. Well, laugh out y'all.
So we run through it. You know, we run through it to our offense. Defense, come offense again. Defense might call it up. You're like, you know because normally he when he called everybody to get up, you know, we run up there with you. Ain't no dragging around. We run up there like like feed us the last time or something.
We run there.
You got to get a good, good old meal. But anyway, he paused, he don't say anything. Then all of a sudden, he said, I don't know what the hell y'all think.
The seals m He said, this is real. This is what you do.
This is what you get paid for. Everybody's here because I want you to be here. And when we come out here, we don't do.
Things the right way. Sometimes we do things the right way all the time.
Now, whoever I see and them tumbling boots and shower with shoes and and ugs, you won't be on this team no more. But but oh Joe, you know how you know? I said, man, Man, come on, bro, just put on oho. Remember you used to have urse shoes, ohoe, cause you have a little knocking. Yes, yes, I said, God, I'm not gonna work. Please just put those on so you could. Oh Jo, how you a dB and gatto gatt on teams? Come on, come on, Joe, you a linebacker you got on teams? You a wire receiver you
got on teams? Really, just walk through though, walk It ain't gonna walk through. Told you it ain't no walking through, ain't no walking I look like y'all man John throwing the ball thirty yards down in the field. How the hell you gonna do a walk through? And you walk and then he throwing them all thirty yards? Hey man, I bet you, I bet you ain't. Nobody else showed it on that bulle eye. Manm guy was coming at it.
Oh Joe. They got on, they got on, the jeans they got on. Then they try to get slicked. They have on they have on sweats over their jeans. Yeah, oh Joe.
When I try to tell them, man shop okay, okay, okay, So you're right, you're right. I'm gonna leave it alone. You right, You're exactly right.
M hm. Mm hmmm.

That isn't a sixth pacts Steven Dad, he's our game. I don't put on twin I don't put on fifteenth. I think he said fifteen pounds. He said, man, he said, you know I'm back to eat my uh my crunch berries. And something else. I said, See that is what you told me. See, I ain't
there to keep you. I ain't there to hold you accountable. He wasn't no conprosation. What what about confronting steven A about?
Yeah? It was so funny. I posted, I posted us all talking uh missus. But I put the song we Are One by Frankie like, I don't know, it's just.
I said, how did you come to the well?
You know they're gonna make up there. That's all. That's all you can pay that you pay that no mind, child that man.

Yeah, why do y'all want Why do y'all want drama? Why y'all want to do? So? What would I confront stephen A about? I'm just That's that's what I need somebody to tell me what I'm gonna confront him about?

Why would I not? Without the bun, it wouldn't be a hot dog. That makes no sense. I don't like no condiments on my hot dog. I like my hot dog with the bun. Bun slightly warmed up a little bit, squeezed it together and you eat it. Sometimes, if it's people around me, I break off a piece, jugged it like dice, pop it in So it's still so I still look cool.
