Earlier in the week, I argued that Michael Phelps is not the greatest Olympian of all time. Now, I don't think he's the greatest Olympian this year. That honor goes to Usain Bolt of Jamaica. Three contests, three gold medals, three world records. He dominated every race he was in while Phelps had a few close calls.
Bolt makes it look easy and that is exactly what superior athletes are supposed to do. His world record in the 100 meters (arguably the feature event of every Olympics) was attained with him hot dogging the last 20 meters. That's speed.
You know he's a superior athlete because sports talk radio in NFL markets are consumed with discussions about whether their respective team could sign Bolt as a kick returner. That's athleticism.
There is a certain level in anything, in which you reach that top level, you can boast about it. Bolt dominated the best, so he can make sure everybody remembers that he is the best.
Bottom Line? The Carolina Panthers need a kick returner.
