Who else came here to see Ol’ Curly the 47 year old alcoholic who was the greatest athlete alive? Notorious for being the fastest man alive with his six second 40 yard dash! A true American sports icon!

[magboboterski]

cant believe this caused them to start working on computers, darn that Curly with his 6-second-40-yard-dash

[tyrone]

I like how a lot of us actually went and looked it up straight after watching that joke from Shane lol

[adammanus]

Beginning: myerrrr.
Ending: it’s a homer off the left field stand.

[niremetal]

Wow...that is such a fluid swing. He's not taking a massive cut at it. He just times it perfectly and hits it as cleanly as a Tide ad.

[matthi]

Wow what a good swing. I was watching and said damn that's a good swing

[richardt]
