It's a bit strict and brutal for them. Yet, i've no problem to handle it. My best reaction time is 0.145s so far and i've to react the fired quicker now.JAD ADRIAN WASHIFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05951780238368548603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5073923426984919406.post-12806875803300039672009-08-18T18:06:07.071-04:002009-08-18T18:06:07.071-04:00Rev. EJHEAT agrees with you and members of my EJHE...Rev. EJHEAT agrees with you and members of my EJHEAT congregation and says how about 1 "Big Guy" Amen! This is 1 of the most intelligent articles you have ever written on your blog! David, you are a very intelligent and articulate young man, and just another reason why I respect and admire you so much!<br /><br />I know Usain Bolt is thanking God that this rule only comes into effect next year! Just incredible how he would not have been in the finals if this rule was already in effect! I'm sure the people who are in charge in track and field were thanking God as well! Just imagine all the positive publicity they would have missed out on with track and field getting their U.S national exposure that they normally don't get outside of the Summer Olympic years! I'm sure Tyson Gay and Osafa Powell wished the new rule was already in effect! They both got so forgotten for running a real good race as well! But, Bolt is just in a world of his own right now! I sure hope Bolt is all clean, and don't find out later something bad! We certainly do not need anymore phony records in sports these days! Always speculation these days in sports! I will give Bolt the benefit of the doubt, and he is great for track and field, but 2 guys I love to watch besides Bolt in the 100m are certainly Tyson and Osafa!<br /><br />Bolt false starting in the semi's shows that anyone in track is capable of false starting! I like the new rule now because the culprit who 1st false starts now won't punish the rest of the field! The analogy I use for the false start rule now is when in baseball a pitcher throws intentionally at a batter and gets away with it only to have the umpires give a warning to both teams which means the next pitcher on either team that throws at a batter immediately gets thrown out of the game! This is a stupid and horrible rule! It gives the culprit 1st pitcher a free shot at the other teams best hitter at the plate! This is a rule I wish MLB would change!<br /><br />I rememeber witnessing your rare false start in the finals of your indoor meet in Gainesville! I know that Coach E was real pissed off and made Brooks sound like he was rated G! On the other hand, I was so happy to see you perform in person for the 1st time, and so excited to meet you for the 1st time that I was ok with the false start because you had a descent 1st race despite being bumped by the guy next to you! I was happy to give you my EJHEAT love when I saw you, and get our blog father and blog son beautiful pictures together with you! Your blog father has spoken! That is the bottom line because me and cursing Coach E said so!!!!<br /><br /> Ericejheathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09741255160461860719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5073923426984919406.post-67171196280946003212009-08-18T14:08:25.165-04:002009-08-18T14:08:25.165-04:00i must point out that Trammell actually was one of...i must point out that Trammell actually was one of the favorites in 2004 OG and he false started in the Final, Also when AJ won his very first WC Gold Tony Jarret false started like 3 times and he too was the fav. But I agree, no false start rule is best. NCAA has implemented the rule for years and its never been a problem. If you dont anticipate the gun you should never have a problem.Hector Cottohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658633268121268079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5073923426984919406.post-67994657695869009102009-08-17T15:03:02.960-04:002009-08-17T15:03:02.960-04:00About time.
