    (I was asking SRL who couldn't unring the bell, because I guess he was posting at the same time...but then he answered my question at the same time I was asking it...and he is now probably responding to this post in its original form...what a mess...couldn't happen to a nicer thread.)

     

    (And crap.  I did come back.  Twice now, if you're counting, but never again.)

      No, really. I'm not kidding.

        No, I'm someone with Navy SEAL students who write articles about what I teach...

         

        The closest thing you'll ever come to being a Navy SEAL is playing one in a video game.

         

        Who have you coached to Olympic record...

         

        In fairness, if that's the standard I have to meet, then you should have done so already...

         

        You're under the dillusional cloud that running for three hours in a gym is the same as running three days in combat wearing up to

        140lbs of equipment...

         

        You run to chase plastic "medals"

         

        My students run to keep their faces out of the cross hairs of an enemy sniper rifle...

         

        Yes, you're the only real joke to this forum.

         

        Sorry...

         

        Never coached anyone to an Olympic record, but learned a lot by being coached by an Olympian, so I'm in a position to know how they train...and it isn't by running like ostriches.

         

        Nobody cares about running 3 days with 140lbs of equipment.  Last time I stayed on Coronado and went for a morning run I passed all the SEALs on the beach going a nice easy pace.  I know a former collegiate runner who went on to become a SEAL and he was the fastest runner in his BUD/S class and didn't run like an ostrich either.  They are tough fighters but they are not runners.

         

        I don't believe for a second you have anything to do with SEALs anyway.  They do serious business so they utilize serious training and trainers.

          I was talking to a Navy SEAL a few weeks ago who told me that so strong is the Navy SEALs' brand that only about 1 out of every 400 people who claim to have been a SEAL actually was.

           

          But sport jester is not claiming to have been a Navy SEAL, only to have trained them.  I'm sure he often has dinner with the Navy SEALs along with his wife...Morgan Fairchild -- whom he's seen naked!

                               well maybe if you hadn't blown that ACL you might have gotten that BQ-5.  Next time before attempting such feats consult the SEAL trainer here who can diagnose your issues that you don't know existed.

                                Alright, let's take a trip back in time.

                                 

                                Here is a 51 PAGE THREAD with sports jester from 2009.

                                 

                                He disappears around p37.

                                 

                                Early on, he introduces us to a naked skater with the unlikely name of "Sandy Snakenberg".

                                 

                                Weirdly, someone claiming to BE Sandy Snakenberg shows up at the top of p35 outing Mr jester for the inaccurate claims made earlier.  Was this the real Sandy Snakenberg?  Dunno.

                                 

                                Sandy Snakenberg.  Heh.

                                 

                                Incidentally, he (Mr jester, not Mr Snakenberg) tells me in there that I need viagra.  Sweet.  Had I listened to him, would I have stronger ACLs?  Would I have noticed that I apparently blew one out or that I had some kind of monitoring gizmodo installed by Mr Jester which let him know about a crisis I myself was not aware of?
