I wonder if this thing will be a real race, or a staged exhibition like wrestling.

My guess is Bavetta wouldn't be a part of anything unless it was legit.

Doesn't mean Barkley won't tackle him or anything.

I love how Reggie jumps on the opportunity. He's not even in the segment but as soon as the dare is made, "Charles. You can make those stairs, Charles! Righ here. Those stairs. He can make those stairs!"

I think 100 yards might be too far for my man barkley, but I am rooting for him.

You cut me deep, Bavetta.

Ken Mauer wouldn't have lost.

I heard Vitale this morning (also 67 y/o) that he wants a shot at Barkley too.

He claims that he'll win.

I was surprised Barkley won.

I didn't really factor in the advantage that Chuck had in stride length.

Bavetta's short little legs were just motoring along, but he needed to take 2 strides for every 1 by Charles.

I started getting the feeling that Dick wasn't going to fare too well when he couldn't even get his warmup pants off before the race.

Gotta hand it to the old man though, diving on the floor for the finish line was ballsy. He cut his leg, too.
