Peter Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 In ESPN the Mag, there was an article about Devon Hester (the kick returner, punt returner, CB, and WR for the Canes). If you have never seen this guy return a kick, you are in for a treat. Anyway, the article talked about how Hester may be the fastest Cane ever. Yet, it did say that there was one guy who clocked a better 40 time. As you probably have guessed from the topic title, it was Willis McGahee. Apparently, McGahee clocked a 4.25 and Hester clocked a 4.28 (if I remember correctly). That is smoking. I don't know if Willis still runs a 4.25, but if and when he does, look out. That combination of power and speed is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 When you open ESPN The Magazine, do little glitter stars fall all over the place or does it just light up in neon? No medical guy here, but I suspect it would be tough for him to get back to that speed after the injury and surgery. Still when you watch him go to the outside, it's a beautiful site. Travis Henry he is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewin Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 The most disconcerting thing when I'm reading that magazine is always having to determine when I turn the page if this page is an advertisement or 'content'. I have to say they do have some good articles - I just skip the 50 or so pages of 'X-Game-class' "sport" coverage every issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper's a bit too glossy. You might end up having to wash your hands a bit more than you intended. I'd use it to line a birdcage, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinandjokin Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 4.25 is rediculously fast. Fastest 40 time ever at UMiami: that's not a bad title to have. I would be willing to bet Lee Evans is the fastest ever out of UW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Henry he is not. 414389[/snapback] I was sitting in the Rockpile at the game on Saturday and had an ex-college, tried out for the pros guy sitting behind me who said that Favre is a first time HOFer (which he is) at least 250 times during the game ... true, but a bit excessive. He was talking to his buddy about how WM is fast enough to get to the corner on a run outside, Gates was doing it too, and then he said something about how Travis Henry could always do that ... I DON'T THINK SO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, your lucky to get a week out of it. The problem is they have gone away from mainstream sports and every edition there is some article about a guy who rides BMX and they do an analysis on his tatoos or the female surfer or the japanese pro bass fisherman or bam majera. Who TF cares? But, it is ESPN I guess and they are suppose to cover all things sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
