Quote from Scott B.Greer threw in the prelims and did not make the final. He threw I think around 220ft. He said it was becuase of the surgery a a few months ago, he wasn't able to be fully ready for the trials.

Quote from Mr.IncredibleAnybody who has ever had rotater cuff surgery, they say it is one of the most painful things that you could ever go through. It is amazing that he was able to come out and throw 226 after just a few months of recovery.

Quote from Paul BuschmanPlease watch the interview that I provided a link to yesterday. He explains in it that his 3 throws in the prelims were his first 3 throws with the javelin all year (competition or training).
He also goes on to drop more than a handfull of f-bombs, challenges Christian Cantwell to a cage fight, talks about his disdain for humans, talks about dating the Gladiator Phoenix until he gets bored with her, and bringing a donkey on set to his next porno shoot. Seriously a can't miss interview. People on the Ring have obviously not watched it because there has been no comments about it and he says the type of stuff that generates commentary.

Quote from LetItRipDisplay MoreI mentioned my being shocked about Rome & Godina, but made no mentiona of Ian Waltz! There is no question who the best Discus thrower on this land is. They used to go back and forth (Jarrod), but recently he has proven that he is head and shoulders above the rest..
He has been able to maintain health and consistency.
Congrats Ian (And Bud)
Good Luck for the remainder of the season..

Quote from RingmasterI thought Doug R. made a great effort to come within an inch, crap! To me he was the surprise of the discus. He could have easily been in.

Quote from RingmasterI had never heard Greer talk before; he sounds like my brother Bryan. ADHD, PTSD, OCD, the works. I would love to see my brother and Breaux get wound up if you know what I mean?

Quote from 70footerwow what an interview....Greer seems like such an intelligent wonderful human being to be around...glad we won't be getting anymore of that for a couple years.
Jarrod and Godina...can't believe it would be nerves for them , they have both been at the top level for so long , but the TRIALS are a full course meal of emotion and hard for most to get our best in...I completely understand , get em next time fellas ! one meet does NOT make you, and you were both already great!
Reynolds....seems like you are 4th best in the nation everytime...sorry...but most of us would kill to be 4th best in the nation even once at anything man!!!!

Quote from Brad ReidDisplay MoreHow does Godina throw a 52.12 toss on his first attempt and not walk out the front of the ring for a "no measure?"
I understand the 52.12 was a bad throw but... maybe he just forgot and walked out the back by habit.
Curious???

Quote from Tony DziepakWould you ask the same question to Greer in qualifying? Does anybody know whether that first throw was over 70 meters?

Quote from 70footerthere is a post comp interview on the MENS SHOT posted on MACTHROWS....looks like a formula 1 style podium press confrence....the guys are like oh man this can't be that big of a deal....but I was very impressed with their honesty, down to earth way they presented themselves...lets just say BREAUX GREER would have been out of place...and for what it is worth I would pick Christian in a fight everyday and twice on sunday against Greer.

Quote from Norm BalkeDisplay MoreThis is always a sticky subject. Yes, I know that teachers, parents, etc. should be role models/heroes. But it often doesn't work out that way.
Who are the "role models/heroes" in TF in other countries where TF is a more high-profile sport? Are they the Breaux Greer types?
Was there any press about the top 3 javelin throwers? All I got was the Breaux Greer self-promotion circus. I really don't think that his oddball behavior or his constant references to porn is going to further the cause of javelin throwing or track and field in general.
If javelin throwing were to somehow become more popular and competitive with the rest of the world, it needs to start at the youth level. Would you really want to expose your children to the foul mouthed antics of Breaux Greer as a starting point?

Quote from Norm BalkeDisplay MoreI think you need to have a backup throw in case of a tie, no matter how crappy it is. I've seen plenty of guys only save one throw out of 6.
A tie is extremely rare, but you never know.
If he had kept a 52m throw after throwing a 62m throw, that would have been probably just a mental error.
Does Godina ever talk about porn?

Quote from 70footerNorm I think ya hit that nail on the head when you described Greer as a self promotion circus...I have been around alot of throwers in my life , but I don't think I have ever seen one quite as focused on himself ONLY as that Greer interview...basically he said
"this is what I think and screw other people cuz they're not important to me"
well, interestingly enough the entire life you will live of which throwing is only a small part of ,will react pretty defensively to this kind of personality....and for that matter I have always thought we shot putters are the most explosive personalities on the planet and I am just surprized that he hadn't already rubbed one of us the wrong way and gotten a little humble pie to straighten this out for him....whatever...always best to not spend to much time on this kind of thing I guess
