What's Next?

I have many questions and am not sure if they can all be answered in my lifetime.
I am waiting for the next giant leap in sports history. Something that has never happened before nor been seen. I'm a looking for the Jim Beamon type of moment. His jump was truly a giant leap in sports.

Maybe the question that really needs to be asked is
Has the human body reached its performance limits in sports in which we play?


Dunking a basketball is a prerequisite in the NBA. So why are we so bored with the slam Dunk contest? Players have been able to jump about the same height for the last 40 years. So what can it be, have we physically run of ways to dunk the ball?


We have MLB pitchers who can throw 100 miles an hour. We had them for the past 30 years. Do we have radar gun problem? Maybe that's a little far fetched but I am looking for the possibility for a ball player to throw 105, 110 or even 115 mph?

Sidd Finch are you out there? !!!


Can our track athletes run faster?
We have seen the amazing feats of Usain Bolt and how those events caught the attention of the entire world. In his events measured in thousandths of seconds his performance was great, but if he had taken full seconds off the record we would have sports insanity.


As fast as we a can run now, will there ever be a 3 minute miler?
It has taken us 100 years to lower the mile record from 4 min 14 sec to 3 min 43 sec. Not exactly amazing.


Why can't the worlds best leapers jump higher than 8 feet? It has been almost 20 years since someone (Javier Sotomayer) has.


What's the big deal about rushing for 2,000 yards? It happened in first 1973 and then in the next 37 years, 5 more players reached it. Hey NFL is that all you got, I am waiting for the first one to runs for 2500 yards or even 3000 yards.




We've had more than our share of records for the most whatevers scored on a Tuesday night, when leading by at least 3, with 26 minutes left to play, while playing its
6th straight game on the road.

Plain and simple,
I just want a record to be set and it have some old fashion substance.





The sportsfreak is history.
