I'm surprised this doesn't happen to ALL punters in the NFL, along with every 6th man of the year in the NBA

"I'm not trying to be hateful, but sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do."
NFL legend Ray Guy -- widely considered the GREATEST punter of ALL-TIME -- has been forced to sell off his three SUPER BOWL rings after filing for bankruptcy back in the spring.
61-year-old Guy -- a seven-time Pro Bowler -- banked a total of $80,100 for the three rings he earned during his 14-year NFL career ... two while the Raiders were in Oakland ... and one after the team moved to Los Angeles.

American delusion. On one forum I read that Americans dominate track and field. I was ready to accept that because Americans are good or atleast I have thought so but check out the link: http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/summer08/medals?discId=3
Domination.

Well...
Here are IAAF World Championships medal stats since -83:

Haters gonna hate but truth burns not in flames;
-USA no1 with total 250 medals
-Ruski no2 with total 208 medals (Russia+USSR)
-next one total with 83
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IAAF_World_Championships_in_Athletics
So IMO it's fair to say USA dominates - quite equally with Ruski though... gap between those two and the rest is BRUTAL :-\
PS.
Why bring up this IAAF WC and not Olympics stats?
Because this is purely track n' field. Olympics are a mess these days with whatever wannabe-sports and this was about t n' f. That's why.

Well yeah depends what you see as domination. Americans dominate at some events like 100 m, 200 m and 400 m sprints and their relays. And then there are some good events for them like shot put etc. I don't see it as dominating if a country gets its medals from few events. It would be different if America were good across the board.

Americans Don't have lions, and machine guns behind their asses to run from since birth like the Kenya people do

A great punter, no doubt. But he earned a lot more than the average person, so it is difficult to feel a whole lot of pity for him. Even though punters don't make the same as other positions, they can typically play a lot longer.

Because they are the best in the fucking world. This is American football and theres not a team that the rest of the world combined could put together that could beat the USA at that. I'm comfortable with the "world champion" rings. The rest of the world can have their soccer and badminton and curling champions though. Good for you guys!!! Now get out there and not matter.
