Bruce Jenner

Postby mrbowie » Sat May 12, 2012 6:01 pm

While walking on the treadmill at the gym this morning, I glaned up at the TV screen and saw somebody that looked familiar, but in a vague way. I was trying to place the face of this woman, when it dawned on me that it was Bruce Jenner. I was and remained stunned.

Heck, 36 years since Montreal might also do that to someone.

I've always wondered had the open professional system been in place n 1976 would Jenner have continued his track career?

I'd bet Ashton Eaton is making waaaay less money as a pro decathlete than Jenner has/is with Wheaties, infomercials and reality shows!

My answer is NO!

Dang! That's almost worth putting up with the Kardashians! :shock:

Cough, cough! Yeah, right.

Like the editor of the World's Greatest Magazine shops for his own groceries. Celebrities just don't do that stuff.

gh was keeping up a local tradition: I'd run into Bert Nelson in a Los Altos market in the 60s. He even recognized my name, even though I'd only made it into the Mag once: 3rd (to Bill Toomey and Kansan LJ'er Kent Floerke (sp?)) in 1960 AAU Pentathlon, not an Olympic event since Jim Thorpe's time, and not one that tempted the likes of Rafer Johnson, who would've revelled in the LJ, Javelin and Discus, blazed a low 21 200, then jogged a 5-ish 1500 for a likely WR.
