Carl Lewis in The Long Jump at the ‘94 World Championships.

He finally jumped past Bob Beamon’s impossible jump (wind aided, but still) that nobody thought would ever be matched.

Then Mike Powell shows up out of nowhere, and sets the world record himself.

Wait, so Seton’s job is available? Sure, I have no qualifications, but whatever. Dibs.

So, we moved to a new house, which is great, but is old & parts of it weren’t built with someone who is 6’3” in mind.

With that in mind, I figured I’d make fun of myself by tweeting the time each day that I first hit my head on a door frame, A/C duct work, etc.

Today: 5:49 pm.

1:04 pm. I apparently hit another growth spurt at 46…

@PCFriarFaithful @BoilerBall @ThePaintCrew Just re-read this & realized that you were interpreting this literally, where I read it as a Purdue fan counting the number of legends in the picture.

I think both interpretations work.

[Daniel Altman @dbaltman]

@PCFriarFaithful @BoilerBall @ThePaintCrew Painter, Smith, Loyer and Brantley, right? PJ is getting there with how he runs the offense, but might not be up to that level yet.

Aces at 6, 12 and 16 at Augusta while carrying your own bag?

[Kyle Porter @KylePorterNS]

Seriously though, what even would be the golf equivalent of what Shohei did last night?

[Daniel Altman @dbaltman]

@jakequery Better than expected. Fortunate yesterday.

[Daniel Altman @dbaltman]

No question, but. Comment.

You kick ass. Keep being you.

[Shea Serrano @SheaSerrano]

[Daniel Altman @dbaltman]

@BoiledSports Not sure that either make it, but Brian Cardinal & Woody Austin deserve an honorable mention at least.

[Daniel Altman @dbaltman]

@adamwren It’ll be like the Indy version of a Rick Roll.

[Daniel Altman @dbaltman]

@adamwren I feel like this is just a public request for people to text this to you now, just to mess with you…
