(This guy looks like the world's greatest athlete right?)

So the Wall Street Journal has released a survey on the World’s ten greatest athletes.  Now  I’m not even sure why I’m dignifying this study with a blog, but whatever.  I mean this is the equivelent of Barstool Sports releasing a study on the 10 best kinds of makeup for chicks.   Seriously does the Wall Street Journal even have a sports section?   Anyway without going into too much detail on why this study is total garbabe lets look at who the panel was.

 THE JUDGES:Ed Coyle, exercise physiologist, University of Texas; has studied top athletes, including cyclist Lance Armstrong. Steve Fleck, chairman of the Sport Science Department at Colorado College and former head of the Physical Conditioning Program for the U.S. Olympic Committee. Eric Heiden,orthopedic surgeon at a Salt Lake City sports medicine and training facility; won five gold medals in speed skating in 1980. Kris Homsi, director of sport science for Sparq, a training and assessment company used in college recruiting. Mark Verstegen runs a group of training facilities called Athletes Performance.

Hmm, so we got a guy who sucked Lance Armstrong’s dick.  (We don’t consider him a world class athlete by the way)   The Physical Conditioning coach for the U.S. Olympic team.     (We don’t consider 99% of Olympians great athletes by the way)  A former speed skater who wasn’t good enough to play hockey so turned to a freak sport that 40 people in the world compete at and the director of Sparq which for anybody who watched the Contender knows is a total joke.    In summary we got a bunch of Olympic guys and a couple dudes who have no idea what they’re talking about.  And surprise, surprise the winner of the Wall Street Journal’s study was (drum roll please) an Olympic dude from the Czech Repulic!   Shocker!     Now excuse me while I print out this study and use it as toilet paper for my dog.   Because it’s not even worthy of me wiping my ass with it.
