Just a soccer joke to dwfgator.
She is wearing a Manchester United jersey (one of the major soccer franchises in England), and I am a fan of their major rival, Liverpool Football Club. A sort of local hate relationships as between the Red Sox and the Yankees just a lot more intense :)
Hence he mentioned Usain Bolt, who reportedly has shunned offers from the NFL because as a Manchester United fan he wants to try out for them. :)

lol, picked that up in a movie with the actor ? Robert Carlisle and never forgot it.
Prefer Alex Morgan in another Glazer Family-owned team....go Bucs
(That’s Tampa Bay Bucs)
Usain Bolt as an NFL wide receiver? That would keep the defensive backs up at night!
OTOH, the history of Olympic sprinters attempting that transition hasn’t been one marked with success. Willie Gault (Chicago Bears) was a hurdler who made the switch.
My Philadelphia Eagles had John Carlos & Tommy Smith in camp after the ‘68 Games (these were the “Black Power” salute sprinters). Neither made the cut.
We used to have a saying related to the 40 yd dash times (a good time is under 4.5 for a receiver). The saying goes “4.5 speed, 6 second hands”. LOL!
Check that... Tommie Smith was a Cincinnati Bengal (AFL). 1 year (69). Carlos stuck 1 season for the Eagles (injured) before going on the the Canadian Football League (2 seasons).
I was pretty young then.
When I was stationed in northern England in the early 70s, I. Was a BIG Leeds United fan, but since they’ve dropped off the EPL grid, I have become a major Liverpool fan. I’d always liked them and even went to Anfield and stood on the Kop. YNWA!
