NBA: Dick Bavetta vs. Charles Barkley Foot Race (2/17/06)

[Matt]

damn.

good thing i'm not in Vegas.

[Glenn]

You cut me deep, Bavetta.

Ken Mauer wouldn't have lost.

[MOLA1]

Thanks for the laughs (and the alpacas) Charles.

[Glenn]

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

He claims that he'll win.

[Fool]

I was surprised Barkley won.

[Glenn]

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.
