Jokers when bolt ran the 9.58 he broke every track record along the way. If you use your heads Johnson has not yet broken 10 flat . They are not in the same league. The difference is the nfl combine does not measure reaction time. If you remove Bolts reaction time in that same race and use Nfl timing methods he would do about 3,95 for forty yards, Its almost like giving him a running start. Remember when he runs relays he always clocks way under 9 seconds for 100 meters not yards. Johnson was not beating his peers in college . Bolt will beat him by several meters over 40 yards. Stop daydreaming . An American is not the worlds fastest human no matter how you try to juggle it. Just to set it straight Tyson gay would smoke Johnso as well. These guys are professional sprinters so stop the day dreaming

Here’s an apples-to-apples comparison.
Usain Bolt’s reaction time was 0.165 second, and his split at 30 meters was 3.79 seconds. So, if timed in the same manner as the combine, Bolt would have passed the 30-meter mark in 3.63 seconds.
40 yards is equivalent to 36.6 meters. Bolt’s split at 40 meters was 4.65 seconds, so between 30 and 40 meters his average speed was 11.6 meters per second. At that rate, he would have covered the 6.6 meters between 30 meters and 40 yards in 0.57 second. So the best available estimate of Bolt’s 4o-yard split is 4.20 seconds. This is slightly faster, not slower, than Chris Johnson.
My money’s on “Lightning” Bolt.

Here’s the math on it… Bolt ran 9.58 for 100m.
His 60m split in that race was 6.31 seconds.
So over 60m his average speed is 9.509 m/sec
40 yards = 36.58m
so… expected time to run 40 yards for Mr. Bolt= 3.85 seconds.
No Contest!!! Bolt wins by 4 yards.
Mr. Johnson needs to stop talking and stick to his own sport. Him saying he can beat Bolt in a race is the same as Bolt saying that he could catch a ball better than Randy Moss.

hope the experts adjusted the “guesstimate” 2 compensate 4 the reaction time on a true race.. on the other hand.. no blocks on a combine 40.. hm.. who wins.. lets say, a 50 yard.. looking @ bolt’s run.. he was clearly the 3rd or 4th starter but caught up in 2 strides.. he’s got quite good getty-up 4 a tall guy.. as much as the field that day.. johnson would have 2 train night & day 2 get his start down..

1. I like to bust people’s balls. It’s fun.
2. I don’t really care when people spell things wrong, but when what they spell does not exist in the English language than I feel the need to point it out to them so they don’t continue to embarrass themselves. Kind of like when someone talks about turning their life around and uses the term ” I did a complete 360″

How miserable is your life?! First you make the “TRACKANDFIELDTALK.COM” comment.. Then you feel the need to correct someones spelling of “probably”.. and then you feel the need to try to belittle me with your response to my original post.. I’d tell you to grow up, but that would TRUELY be a “Big Stretch”!!
—————————————————–
1. yes I called this site trackandfieldtalk.com i have also referred to it as PFZ.com mostly because Florio’s content on this site has been incredibly watered down since NBC got involved and forced him to spew out garbage every 30 minutes.
2. sorry but how is explaining to someone that “prolly” is not a word a problem for you. it’s not like the guy missed a letter when spelling probably i.e. probabky he spelled an entirely new word that doesn’t exist.
3. as for your post, you are the one that went on the attack of other people criticizing Florio, so i was just responding.
4. a foot race between Chris Johnson and Usain Bolt is not football news, it’s barely even worthy of Florio’s favorite site TMZ.
5. nice play on words with my screen name, but as for how miserable I am, if working a job that pays me $75,000 a year to sit on my ass with plenty of free time to post comments on here and then go home to dinner cooked by my chick followed by a BJ and the NCAA tournament is considered miserable then yeah I am one miserable son of a bitch.
I bet you are “prolly” sitting in your mom’s basement right now trying to figure out a way to become the assistant to the regional Florio right now.
Also it is TRULY not TRUELY.

Big stretch,
You sure are a rebel with those witty insults and incessant whining about the content on a rumor based website. Just curious, but why even take the time to not only read an article you don’t care about but also comment on it. Do you just like to complain? He’ll why are you even on this site. It’s obviously below your intellect level. You should start your own site and only post things that are of the utmost importance to a football conisour such as your self.

“The folks at NBC Olympics” are wrong. Remember, in a track race, the runner starts after he hears the gun, but the clock starts when the gun goes off. The runner’s reaction time adds at least .10 seconds to his time. For Bolt, it’s usually about .15 seconds. At the Combine, however, the runner starts when he wants, and the timer must react to the runner’s first movement. So the clock doesn’t start until at least .10 seconds after the runner starts running.
When Bolt ran a 9.69 100 meters, his running time over the first 40 yards was 4.19 seconds. When he ran a 9.58, it was 4.20.
Johnson’s “official” time at the combine was 4.24 seconds, so his actual running time was at least 4.34 seconds and probably closer to 4.40.

Let them race 100 yards (on a football field, not a track) and give Chris Johnson a 5-yard head start and I think Bolt still smokes him.
Remember, he was mugging for the cameras during his world-record run 10 meters before the finish line with the world’s other fastest men stumbling along behind him.
Now, ask Bolt to break a tackle or two along the way and it’s a different story.

It wouldn’t matter the distance.. Bolt would absolutely destroy him. It would take CJ 6 steps to go the distance of Bolt’s first step.. Besides, Bolt would be finished with the race before CJ got done telling everyone how great he is..

It depends on if it’s an “Officially Timed” Chris Johnson or and “Unoficially Timed” Chris Johnson? LOL
If Usain Bolt is up to challenges he should race CJ at 40 yards. At 60 or longer he would beat CJ for sure.
Also, I wonder why Jerry Jones has not paid Usain Bolt to run 3 GO paterns a game for him? That would sell tickets.

If Bolt is up to challenges he should do the 40 yard race. At 60 yards or longer CJ would probably lose for sure.
Also, I wonder how come Jerry Jones has not paid Usain Bolt to run some go paterns for him?

You people complaining about “slow news day” “nothing else to report” really need to shut the hell up.
How the hell you think this isn’t news is beyond me. You damn half’tard think that if a news article is specifically geared toward you that he it isn’t “newsworthy” enough for a damn sports blog.
Who the hell are you that you think this damn site has to revolve solely around your freaking desires? Goddamn.

I highly doubt that there is ANY competition for Bolt existing in the entire universe. He is un-human.
I wished to hell the guy would give American Football a try. Think about it — he could smoke everyone on a straight route. He wouldn’t have to run anyother routes, or block, or tackle — just run a straight line as fast as he can and make a catch at the end = touchdown everytime!
Plus he has a cool name – Usain Bolt! Soooo cool!

We saw the reports of Darrell Green still being able to fly at 50.
When CJ is 50, he’s going to be living out of a bottle with the shakes….
Let’s see how fast he is at 50.

the combine clock begins on the runners go (his first step), correct? so – really there is no comparison when Bolt is running after the gun.
CJ would never actually do this. you can tell he speaks probably a little more than he should.
why would he honestly believe he can beat the fastest man ever?

By: Krow

Do it on a football field… in full uniform… with a ball tucked under your arm… and a defense waiting to knock your head off.
Then maybe this self-promoting a-hole Bolt will shut up, suck down some more PEDs, and go pretend he’s doing it all naturally.

Bolt would crush Johnson at 100 meters. But he is about 6’5″ tall, so in a short 40, Johnson may just beat him. But by 65 yards, Bolt pulls away, not even close.
