It's Carl Lewis Day!

Carl Lewis was one of my favorite athletes as a kid. I even wrote to him, and in return received an autographed picture which I still have to this day.

In his prime Carl Lewis was untouchable in the long jump, racking up a streak of 65 consecutive wins. He held world records in the 100m, 4 x 100m and 4 x 200m relays, long jump, and still holds the indoor long jump record.
He won 10 Olympic medals, 9 of them Gold, along with 10 World Championship medals, of which 8 were gold.

If Carl Lewis was half as good a singer as he was athlete, he would sound like a black Michael Bolton. Instead, he's about 20 pegs below that.

You will have nightmares...







And his shining moment.
He should have had his citizenship revoked for this one. Give the medals to Canada.

  2. I remember seeing the national anthem on sports center. Charlie Steiner was laughing so hard he could barely talk, and he said, "that's the national anthem as written by Francis Scott OFF Key!"
