Usain Bolt Wins Gold, Sets New Olympic Record By Running 100m in 9.63 Seconds

All, Olympics, Video Ty Duffy August 5th. 2012, 4:59pm

The four fastest men in history ran. Usain Bolt remains the fastest. Usain Bolt set a new Olympic record, running the 100m dash in 9.63 seconds. It was the second fastest 100m time ever, and he had, by his standards, an underwhelming start.

Yohan Blake (9.75) and Justin Gatlin (9.79) take silver and bronze respectively. Americans Tyson Gay (9.80) and Ryan Bailey (9.88) finished in fourth and fifth.

This will be just as exciting tape-delayed tonight on NBC, you guys.

I’d agree fully with that if I wasn’t at work and could watch it, but I’ll take your word for it.

Bolt told the media he waited an extra beat just so he wouldn’t false start. that confident he could run them down.
what he did from about 40-70 m … incredible. looked like a horse just overtaking everyone

Also, re the Reid post:
When you have ddmcd1974 calling you out for being insensitive, you have definitely crossed an uncrossable line.

Indeed. Maybe he’s trying to avoid getting banned again by showing his sensitive side.

Not only have we not heard from Rollo in 48 hours, we haven’t heard from Vez since yesterday. Supposedly he was going to size up the SIL’s boyfriend at a minor-league game.
The bodies could be stacking up somewhere.

Nada I think Rollo is probably out for the duration of his vacation. Or else when he finally told his wife she shot him. One or the other.

I forgot you were in PA because I’ve lost track. There’s a handful. I’m one of the very few people on either side of my family that wasn’t born ion PA.

When I said there’s a handful what I meant is there is a handful of people on here from PA, so I forgot.

yeah there’s a few in PA on here. I take it you’re working tonight seeing as how you’re on TBL. You work Sun-Thurs?

Wednesday through Sunday. I get on every now and again at home, just not much because my internet connection (my neighbor’s internet connection) is slow. I got rid of it because they kept jacking the price up. Need to just man up and get it, and quit being a thief.

I’m guessing both barrels. One in the face, one in the crotch.
Yes, Rollo may indeed be circling the barn on that great ATV in the sky.

Screw that. If your neighbor didn’t encode his WiFi, it’s like he wants you to use it. You don’t want to seem ungrateful, do you?

I have a buddy who went about 5 years without paying for his own internet connection. Even cracked his neighbors password to keep stealing it after they realized he was using it and locked it.

Absolutely not. But it’s slow as hell. That’s why I don’t get on much at home, because half the time it’s not worth it. I know within 30 seconds of getting on whether or not I’m going to fuck with it at that current moment. As I said, should just quit being cheap and get my own again.

I’m not technologically inclined enough to do that. And obviously my neighbor isn’t, either.

I am not showing a sensitive side. What that guy said is a statement that is not only negative, UNTRUE, in poor taste but also fukcing gutless. Nothing I said are any of those.
Also I was unblocked because as I pointed out to the tough guy in charge here there are so many other posts that are off topic have cursing or just dbagish. He realized I was right.
