Give A Black Man A Chance
Tyson Gay
Gay runs 100 in windy 9.68 to make US Olympic team
By HOWARD FENDRICH, AP Sports Writer
EUGENE, Ore. (AP)—Perhaps Tyson Gay ought to thank Usain Bolt for beating him so soundly and so surprisingly last month.
That lopsided loss—Gay was a distant second as Bolt broke the world record in the 100 meters—led to some serious tinkering. Gay and his coach, former sprinter Jon Drummond, took a look at his start, his stride, his strategy.
Seems fair to say they knew what they were doing: On Sunday, Gay ran 100 meters faster than anyone ever has.
A blur in blue, Gay clocked 9.68 seconds to win the 100 final at the U.S. Olympic trials, a time that will not be entered in the books as a world record because it came with the help of a too-strong tailwind.
Still, this is what matters to Gay and Drummond: The sprinter qualified for his first Summer Games team and served notice that his name should be mentioned alongside those of Jamaicans Bolt and Asafa Powell in any discussion about who could win the dash in Beijing.
“We need to get some type of flame-retardant uniform in case he catches on fire,” said Drummond, no stranger to hyperbole. “He’s running so doggone fast.”
That is definitely true.
Gay timed a legal 9.77 in a quarterfinal Saturday to break Maurice Greene’s American record of 9.79.
Back on May 31, on a stormy night in New York, Gay finished in 9.85, easing up as he watched Bolt better Powell’s mark of 9.74.
“When someone comes to your country and then kicks your butt and then breaks the world record—puts a cherry on top—that right there can put something on your mind a little bit,” Gay said before competing in Eugene. “But after a week or so, I was able to block it out and get back to business.”
Gay and Drummond quickly realized the setback actually was a good thing.
It forced them to really analyze Gay’s running.
“We went back and said, ‘OK, you ran the fastest worst race I’ve ever seen anybody run,”’ Drummond said. “‘Technically, you ran a horrible race.”’
The major problem, essentially: Gay was bringing his feet too high behind his back with each stride. Gay calls it “butt-kicking,” explaining that he was nearly hitting himself in the backside with his shoes before bringing each leg forward, while Bolt was turning his strides over more efficiently.
“The joy I have in this is he worked hard, he believed in what we were doing,” Drummond said. “He believed in me enough to come back and let me work with him some more.”
Wearing a royal blue uniform with red and white diagonal stripes across the front, along with matching shoes, all in a tribute to 1936 Olympic star Jesse Owens, Gay dominated the competition Sunday.
He got out of the blocks well—“awesome,” Drummond called it—and pulled out to a comfortable lead by the 40-meter mark.
This time, Gay kept pumping those legs all the way through the finish line, extending his lead. In Saturday’s opening heat, Gay pulled way up, way too soon, and nearly was caught by the field, before accelerating again and lunging in for fourth place.
No such close call this time.
The previous fastest 100 under any conditions was 9.69, run in 1996 by Obadele Thompson, who now is married to Marion Jones.
Gay’s race came with the wind blowing at 4.1 meters per second; anything above 2.0 is not allowed for record purposes.
“I didn’t really care what the wind was,” Gay said.
Walter Dix, the 2007 NCAA champion from Florida State, overtook Darvis Patton in the final 20 meters for second place. Dix clocked 9.80 and Patton 9.84, as each of the first six finalists turned in times under 10 seconds.
“When I looked up and saw the numbers,” Dix said, “I was like, ‘Wow, that’s fast.”’
It sure was.
Unlike some of his predecessors in the spotlight-attracting dash, the 25-year-old Gay is not one to brag or talk trash. Consider him the silent, speedy type.
Asked to assess his performance Sunday, this was about the best he could muster: “It was OK.”
Drummond, an Olympic relay gold medalist in 2000, is not one to shy away from a boast or bold prediction.
So the coach was quick to note that he figures he’ll find flaws when he reviews tape of Gay’s performance Sunday. Drummond kept telling Gay that a time below 9.7 was possible, and now he wants to set about getting his sprinter in even better form for Beijing.
“There’s no perfect race. You’re always going to find ways to improve,” Drummond said. “You’re always going to find ways to upgrade.”
See this is that crazy stuff I be talkin' 'bout. In the words of Kanye "give a black man a chance", lol.

Kanye Responds to Bonnaroo criticism
Man ya'll gotta take it easy on my homie but this is what Ye had to say
I am sick of negative people who just sit around trying 2 plot my downfall... Why???? I understand if people don't like me because I like me or if people think tight clothes look gay or people say I run my mouth to much, But this Bonnaroo thing is the worst insult I've ever had in my life. This is the most offended I've ever been... this is the maddest I ever will be. I'm typing so fucking hard I might break my fucking Mac book Air!!!!!!!! Call me any name you want.... arrogant, conceited, narcissistic, racist, metro, fag whatever you can think of.... BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL! NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL! THIS SHOWS NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO BE GOOD AT SOMETHING THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THERE TO LIE ABOUT YOU AND BRING YOU DOWN! LIKE WAYNE SAYS PLEASE DON'T SHOOT ME DOWN CAUSE I'M FLYING! I'M FUCKING HURT BY THIS ONE. ALL I CARE ABOUT ARE THE FANS. JUST SAY THIS OUT LOUD IN A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE, "KANYE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT GIVING A GOOD PERFORMANCE." CAN ANYONE HONESTLY SAY THAT ????????? HAS ANYONE EVEN TAKEN THE TIME TO AT LEAST DO THE MATH??? BONNAROO SHOULD HAVE RELEASED A STATEMENT IN MY DEFENSE BUT SINCE THEY HAVEN'T LET'S BREAK DOWN THE WALLS ON THIS TRUMAN SHOW AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY OCCURRED!!! FOR OVER A MONTH WE WENT BACK AND FORTH ON WETHER OR NOT WE COULD EVEN FIT MY STAGE AT THE FESTIVAL. ONE DAY THEY WOULD SAY YES... WE'D SEND THEM OUR SPECS THEN THEY THEY'D SAY OK... THEN THEY WOULD SEND SPECS BACK THAT DIDN'T FIT THE STAGE. WE WERE OBVIOUSLY DEALING WITH FUCKING IDIOTS WHO DIDN'T REALLY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO REALLY PUT ON THIS SHOW PROPERLY. THEY TRIED 2 GIVE ME A TIME SLOT WERE IT WAS STILL LIGHT OUTSIDE ... I HAVE A FUCKING LIGHT SHOW DUMB ASS, IT'S NOT CALLED GLOW IN THE DARK FOR NO REASON SQUID BRAINS! MY PEOPLE WORKED OUT A COMPROMISED STAGE PLOT AND A 3AM TIME SLOT AND I AGREED. FAST FOWARD TO THE DAY OF THE SHOW. MY PRODUCTION MANAGER TRIED TO LOAD IN FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE I WENT ON STAGE BUT THE FESTIVAL WOULDN'T ALLOW US TO DO ANYTHING UNTILL PEARL JAM LEFT THE STAGE. PEARL JAM ENDED ONE HOUR

Chicago kids wins a car!
CHICAGO — It took a Chicago Public Schools student a whole year to win a sleek perfect attendance prize—but she has a few years to go before she can use it. Ashley Martinez won a new Dodge Caliber for perfect attendance during the last school year, but she's only 12, so driving is out for now.

Thought from the ASTRONAUT!
Success is a seven letter word that many people try so hard, everyday, to attain. Whether success is a new job, a new life style or a new status in life, we all try our best to get it. For many the road to success or being successful is paved with different perils and distractions that cause the journey to be that much more of a task. But, the key to being successful is the ability to adapt and persevere because success is a reward that is to be earned. Let’s be successful!

Imus, back at it again?
Wow! So the Wolf, Don Imus, is back in action. He's bad talking on his show about Adam "Pacman" Jones, asking "what color is he"? Check this out!
Wolf: “Defensive back Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones, recently signed by the Cowboys. Here’s a guy suspended all of 2007 following a shooting in a Vegas night club.”
Imus: “Well, stuff happens. You’re in a night club, for God’s sake. What do you think’s gonna happen in a night club? People are drinking and doing drugs, there are women there, and people have guns. So, there, go ahead.”
Wolf: “He’s also been arrested six times since being drafted by Tennessee in 2005.”
Imus:”What color is he?”
Wolf:”He’s African-American.”
Imus: “Well, there you go. Now we know.”

Ice-T, Soulja Boy beef and Kanye?
I know by now you have heard about the beef with Soulja Boy and Ice -T, you know the one where Ice says that Soulja boy can eat a d*ck and Soulja Boy calls Ice the forefather of his nutz! Well, now, Kanye West has something to say about this situation.
Soulja boy is fresh ass hell and is actually the true meaning of what hip hop is sposed to be. He came from the hood, made his own beats, made up a new saying, new sound and a new dance with one song. He had all of America rapping this summer. If that ain’t Hip Hop then what is? A bunch of wannabe keep it real rappers that ain’t even relevant, recycling samples trying to act like it’s 96 again and all they do is hate on new shit? Ni*gas always talk about the golden age but for a 13 year old kid, this is the golden age!!! That song was so dope cause everything he said had a hidden meaning… that’s Nas level sh*t… he just put it over some steel drums which is also some Nas sh*t if you had the 2nd album cassette with the bonus track “Silent Murder” on it. In closing… new niggas get ya money$$$$$$$$$$ Keep this sh*t fresh and original…. ain’t no fu*kin’ rules to this sh*t and that’s what real hip hop is to me.
Jeremy Scott
Yo need to check this kid out! I heard about him 2day and his style is crazy!
