Sporting Plateau

Over the past 50 some odd years the evolution of sport has been drastic. From the super athleticism that exists in basketball among other sports, as well as the vast improvements of technology of the golf world and just about everywhere else.

And just like the way a body builder tries to avoid the plateau effect sports do too. But it is bound to happen, without major synthetic/robotic contributions.

In 1968 Jim Hines was the fastest man alive breaking the 10 second barrier in the 100 meters. Now the record sits at 9.58 seconds by Unsain ‘Insane’ Bolt. Will we soon be waiting for the first person to break the 9 second barrier? Sounds a little ridiculous now.

Every athlete could be classified as a 'Freak'. Sorry Tim.

Or how about tennis serves? Americans Andy Roddick and John Isner are smashing serves at 140+ miles per hour. When will we watching athletes hitting it 160-170mph? Sooner than you think?

Aroldis Chapman of the Reds is consistently throwing pitches at 102 mph. He isn’t unhittable but will this be the norm? Are we gonna be watching hitters out on their front foot for a 95mph changeup?

The sports world is getting further and further from the average joe. And although I want to be optimist it is hard to be. Sports are turning into a three-ring circus entertaining us where fewer of us have the opportunity to come close to reaching these levels. .00565% of people are professional athletes. Sports have evolved with the times, but are we looking at a sports version of ‘The Terminator’?

[I’m in a bad mood because I realize just how bad the Broncos will be this year. The Jaguars are bad and we got smacked by them. Gerrard was a nice story 3 years ago when he beat out Leftwich and Chrons disease, and Jack del Rio can’t coach. He went for it on 4^th and 1 on their own 39 in the second half while winning. Possible tangent… defensive players make the best coaches, but not linebackers. Mike Singletary. Orton is bad, our defensive is old and hurting. Broncos’ struggles will continue.
Just so I don’t forget; if the Broncos go 2-5 to start the year and lose a couple games that we or McDaniel’s believes we should win wouldn’t it be funny to see Tim Tebows first game to start be in London. On another continent. Well at least I think it kind of amusing.]

But seriously, what should I talk about concerning the NFL. Super Bowl prediction? Not the Broncos. Why Kevin Kolb was a mistake? The J-E-T-S? Who is Matt Moore, the guy in front of Jimmy Clausen? Or NCAA football? Pleeeease comment. (No countymac, I refuse to talk Division 1-AA football. Even if it was as epic as your texts made it sound.)
