While I was getting my four miles in on the treadmill late last night, Texans radio color analyst and 1989 Heisman Trophy winner Andre Ware sent the Voice of the Texans Marc Vandermeer and myself a simple four word text.
“Could Bolt play wide receiver?”
Jamaica’s Usain Bolt is arguably the greatest sprinter in the history of track and field and won the 200 meters in Rio on Thursday night in 19.78 seconds. He coasted the last 20-30 meters and had clearly distanced himself from the pack right from the gun.
On the bus heading to the airport on Sunday evening, we were all gawking/watching Bolt win the 100 meters, running down the leaders over the last 30 meters of the race.
