: World record holding Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt may have good things in store for him when he gets back to this side of the world. MediaTakeOut.com just spoke to a person affiliated with the NFL's Miami Dolphins organization who claims that Bill Parcells is interested in trying out Bolt for the Miami Dolphins.
The insider told MediaTakeOut.com, "Coach Parcells kept saying that he wanted to try out Bolt and [all the players] thought he was just joking. But now [one of the scouts] is on a plane to China to talk with Usain's manager."
6 foor 4 and runs the 100 meter in 9.6 seconds. Can't say we blame Bill for trying...
If the greatest coach in football is saying that, why should anyone doubt it. Football has recruited some of the greatest sprinters to the sport and they have been very successful. Why is it that we always doubt each other's abiltity...thats why people like Parcell will always be ahead. They tend to see beyond the imagination of the average man Jamaica fi life
Who determines if a runner can also be an athlete? That sounds like the most asinine thing I've heard yet. LOL....
The U.S male and female relay teams did horribly by dropping the baton. I read where there has been no stability with the coaching. Plus, they had their signs written in magic marker while the rest of the teams have theirs printed. WTH is up with the U.S team?
BattyBwoy ...says this is an example of the US feeding off of the island? All of the oxtail bone spitters living in the US making a life for themselves better than they could in JAMAICA and you hear about one RUMOR make that claim? I dont see millions of Americans flocking to Jamaica for great jobs.
You said your kids were YANKEES why dont you take them to Jamaica to live there? Because you know they have more opportunity here? YEP...teach the to feed of the US....like you.
US has presented great opportunity for many immigrants especially JAMS.
I personally hope they leave ROID BOY right in ACKEE land....He's a disgrace.
Hi Jeangirl, The olympics will be over in a matter of two days and I through with the trash talking and negativity. I will be hanging out with my American brethrens and made amends for the last two years. Hope you do the same and put all that bitterness aside. Why would you use a child's picture when you spilling so much negativity/hatred. Remember, children live what they learn.....Bye jean Gal
What some of these american coaches need to understand is that American Football is only a big thing in USA not worldwide. Track is not popular in america even though some of the biggest stars are Americans. Track is a big thing over seas though...they are stars over there. Why would the worlds fastest man try to get to NFL when he's the main man in a sport that a big part of the world recognize.
@jeanGrey...
*** ur back up with this sort of ***. Can you just rest for a *** minute and enjoy ur sorry as life.
Jamaica is a the sizer of the chicago with only 2.8 million peeps, therefore there will be more jobs in the entire is United states as there will be in Jamaica, therefore compare apples with apples and not plums.
For all the haters ...just please get a life and stop hating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!***!!!!!!!!!!!!
Y'all really believe MTO with this ***? There is a reason why they said "RUMOR" in the headline. Half of what they post as fact is hot air anyway. MTO get real, which NFL scout would be dumb enough to attempt to take Usain from Track when he is on top of the world right now? He now has 3 godl medals, all world records, this has never been done in the history of track and field in the Olympics. He should leave all that to go play for a *** team to boot? There could only be one answer, a big fat no.
You guys must be crazy, you think this guy is going to come to the NFL to be hit? Come on! He will have some good endorsement contracts coming his way from Nike and probably Vitamin Water, he don't need the NFL. Plus just because you are fast doesn't mean that you can play in the NFL. Also someone said something about the NBA, what the devil does speed have to do with the NBA?
@champ1.....ever heard of ANYTHING bigger than the super bowl???...anyway, if bolt can catch then he'll be fine only for special teams returning punts.at 6'4" he will have to get up to at least 210.hes 195 right now.he'll also have to learn to take a hit.but it may just work out.and yes, he will have to pass a drug test.
@ JeanGrey Flag post BattyBwoy ...says this is an example of the US feeding off of the island? All of the oxtail bone spitters living in the US making a life for themselves better than they could in JAMAICA and you hear about one RUMOR make that claim?

--------------------- U SOUND WILL DUMB. WHERE'S THE JOBS IN THE U.S????? AND U SAY NO ONE MOVING TO JAMAICA UMMM...I'VE BEEN THERE A FEW TIMES AND IT IS PPL MOVING THERE. PLUS A LOT OF CELEBS HAVE HOMES BUILT THERE UP IN THE HILLS. DON'T FLATTER YOURSELF, U.S. IS NOT ALL THAT AND I BORN AND RAISED HERE. U SOUND REAL DUMB HATING ON A BROTHER CUZ HE'S BEING SUCCESSFUL.
He runs a 3.5sec 40. I thought the same thing when I saw him run. He would outrun anyone on the field plus he's tall as sh*t. The fastest receiver runs a 4.3 in the NFL right now. It wont be the first time this has happened. Renaldo Nehemiah came out the olympics as a record holding track star and played with the 49ers. He only played 3 years because the experiment was a failure. Plus he got knocke the f-ck out by Kenny Johnson and wasn't the same since
It likely won't work. Different skill sets. He needs 'hands' and to be able to run PATTERNS...not just a 'fly' route (straight up the field).
And for the youngins on here. The San Francisco 49'ers tried this with Olympian Renaldo Nehemiah back in the 80s.
Didn't work.
I'm not mad at Parcells in seeing if he has any potential, but pro football at the WR position is so much more than just speed.
I bet he'll stop turning sideways to mug to the crowd after he gets popped going over the middle.
Not only that...he needs to put on like 40 lbs.
no this is what you call EXPLOSIVE Rumor"
America will initiate martial law and execute it's on people! And start WW3! Run tell that, google it look it up on youtube....wake up people hold this Country acoountable for what it is doing to 3rd world countries and to our on people here in America ya forgot about New Orleans already huh....WAKE UP hold the Media accountable including MTO! Like Ice Cube said in Boys in the Hood..they don't know don't show or don't care about what's going on in the hood or 3rd world countries
Feed the hungry and cure the sick!!!
RUDEY i have no spewed any hatred..i just know the Jamaican Team is juiced...americans are on drugs too.Like i have said before..none of these cheats should be celebrated. You bought up children..what kind of example is this for children..that its ok compete dishonestly. The jamaicans here have been very nasty..most live here and have said nasty things about the USA and americans. talk about ungrateful...At least i dont live in Jamaica or depend on any family from Jamaica to send me money and clothing.
Having pride in heritage is one thing ..but most (not all) of you were *** how Jamaica runs this and that and american sucks and are losers...WHEN YOU LIVE HERE! and this is the first time in History you have out done them. That wont last long once they get real independent drug testing on those athletes..there wont be the smashing of records and running far ahead of the pack. can they win yes!...but it will be more believable.
In all the year USA was winning I never made mention of how Jamaica and other countries suck because they didnt get a gold medal...first show some class..then get out of denial that these people are not on drugs.
"jeangal"...thats cute..i am in no way mad or have bitterness at you RUDE or even TESM...Look for me at on eastern parkway monday.. Dinner on me. lol
Great-- now all we need is another crying T.O on the field. Whatever. Just because he can run doesn't mean he's talented enough to catch and throw. I don't know much about football, but I know you need more than speed. Either way, I'm a GIANTS fan-- LET'S GO BIG BLUE-- so it doesn't matter to me. We're still gonna KICK THE DOLPHINS *** with or without him!
He's arrogant (but ya ladies know you saw that bulge-- especially of the other dude, Asafa or something like that. They need to hold that down with a cup or something.)
Jeangal> I'm so proud to see to talikng about setting examples for the kids. I didn't want to go there but the reason why (despite living in USA) we hold on to our roots is because we truly don't have the true rights as white in this country. Do you know about the VOTING RIGHTS ACT OF 1965 that gave blacks a limited number of years to vote. That act expired two years ago and George Bush extended it for another 25 years. It can be taken away from us at any time because they truly don't consider us Americans....please read this excerpt and you can always google for more information on Voting Rights ACT Please read and stop your madness Soon after passage of the Voting Rights Act, federal examiners were conducting voter registration, and black voter registration began a sharp increase. The *** effect of the Supreme Court's decisions, Congress' enactment of voting rights legislation, and the ongoing efforts of concerned private citizens and the Department of Justice, has been to restore the right to vote guaranteed by the 14th and 15th Amendments. The Voting Rights Act itself has been called the single most effective piece of civil rights legislation ever passed by Congress.
The following table compares black voter registration rates with white voter registration rates in seven Southern States in 1965 and 1988:
I'm so proud to be an American because my great president (bush)gave me another twenty fives years to vote READ BELOW ...You stupid .... The Executive Branch

WASHINGTON — President Bush on Thursday signed legislation extending for 25 years the Voting Rights Act, the historic 1965 law which opened polls to millions of black Americans by outlawing racist voting practices in the South. "Congress has reaffirmed its belief that all men are created equal," he declared.
Bush signed the bill amid fanfare and before a South Lawn audience that included members of Congress, civil rights leaders and family members of civil rights leaders of the recent past. It was one of a series of high-profile ceremonies the president is holding to sign popular bills into law.
The Republican controlled Congress, eager to improve its standing with minorities ahead of the November elections, pushed the bill through even though key provisions were not set to expire until next year.
"The right of ordinary men and women to determine their own political future lies at the heart of the American experiment," Bush said. He said the Voting Rights Act proposed and signed by then-President Lyndon Johnson in 1965 "broke the segregationist lock on the voting box."
"My administration will vigorously enforce the provisions of this law and we will defend it in court," Bush said.
The legislation bears the names of three women who were active in the civil rights movement: Fannie Lou Hamer, Rosa Parks and Coretta Scott King. Bush said he was signing the bill "in honor of their memory and their contribution to the cause of freedom." Related

Hamer, a Mississippi sharecropper, was beaten and jailed in 1962 for trying to register to vote. She co-founded the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party and gave a fiery speech at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. In 1955, Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white man in Montgomery, Ala., sparking a mass boycott by thousands, mainly black women domestic workers who had long filled the buses' back seats.
King was a prominent civil rights activist and the widow of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
Later Thursday, Bush is to sign another bill sure to resonate with voters in this congressional election year: legislation establishing a national Internet database designed to let law enforcement and communities know where convicted *** offenders live and work.
By contrast, Bush chose to exercise the first veto of his 5 1/2 years as president in privacy last week, with no audience, no cameras, no reporters. The bill he vetoed would have expanded federally funded research of embryonic stem cells.
White House officials said an open ceremony to veto a bill seemed inappropriate, although other presidents have done just that. Forty minutes after the Oval Office veto, Bush gave a major address on the issue in the East Room, open to the press and surrounded by families who have "adopted" leftover frozen embryos and used them to bear children.
In May, Bush took to the South Lawn to sign into law a bill that extended $70 billion in previously passed tax cuts. That package was also seen by Republicans as an opportunity to boost the popularity of the president and the Republican-controlled Congress
Presidential bill-signings usually occur in an office building next to the White House, not on the South Lawn, and on Wednesday workers scurried to get things ready for the Voting Rights Act signing, setting up water stations and a large stage for Bush and the bill's primary supporters.
The list of some of the 600 expected guests reads like a who's-who of prominent black leaders and civil rights veterans, including the Revs. Al *** and Jesse Jackson; friends and relatives of the Kings, Ms. Parks and Dorothy Height, the longtime chairwoman of the National Council of Negro Women.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi have used the occasion of the Voting Rights Act extension to criticize Bush's administration for politicizing civil rights policy and weakening enforcement of the law's provisions.
The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 98-0 and the House 390-33. The overwhelming majorities belied the difficulties getting to that point.
Some Southern lawmakers rebelled against renewing a law that requires their states to continue to win Justice Department approval before changing any voting rules — punishment, they said, for racist practices that were overcome long ago.

This has been tried many times in the NFL over the years. Trying to use sprinters as kick returners, and wide recievers. It rarely works.
I'm not saying it cant work. I'm not saying Bolt cant be successful, I hope he is, but playing wide reciever isnt just about speed.
Can run good routes? Can he read defenses? Can make good cuts? Can he catch the ball? Can he catch the ball in traffic? Can he block, Can he take a hit?
I would look foward to seeing him on the field, a seeing how well he could do.
RUN NICCA RUN! LOL
If it ain't broke don't try to fix it! Olympic Gold Medalist Vs Playing for a SORRY NFL team (*no worldwide recognition for this...probably less endorsment opportunities...cnances of winning the Superbowl anytime soon...SLIM)...
Again I say...
Run Nicca Run! LOL
God loves Bolt...He created Him.
And the haters are off to the races again. All of you need to stop this stupidity. The man's a track star, not a football player - there's just no comparison.
And no, DivaMuffin he wouldn't make a good quarter back cause he's fast - they rely on accuracy not speed.
Why can't we just give the young man his due and let him enjoy his time as FASTEST MAN IN THE WORLD.
this is not a rumor, this is a *** story that MTO is trying to fabricate. You guys know, how i know that you're lieing, because Parcells isn't the coach of the Dolphins, he's their Executive Vice President of Football Operations. And if this was a rumor, i'm pretty sure, ESPN would have been on top of it..so stop the lien MTO.

Usually I would Co-Sign that MTO from time to time is on some ***;but I'm a Football Fan..The story about the possibility of bringing him into the league is actually on ***.F.L.Com. Go Raiders in 08'Silver & Black until my death day..
EVEN THOUGH I DON'T THINK IT WOULD WORK, HERE'S THE ARTICLE FROM NFL.COM:
Could Olympic gold-medal sprinter Bolt charge into the NFL? Gil Brandt By Gil Brandt | NFL.com
Petr David Josek / Associated Press A lightning-quick sprinter, Jamaica's 6-foot-5 Usain Bolt would be a perfect marketing fit for the Chargers.
Someone asked me the other day what I thought about the idea of making Olympic gold-medal sprinter Usain Bolt a football player. Let's put it this way: If Hall of Fame general manager Tex Schramm and I were still running the Cowboys, we'd be in Jamaica right now waiting for Bolt's plane to land.
That's not to say anyone can predict what the fastest human being alive might do on a football field. But in a sport that places such a premium on raw speed, why not take a chance on a guy who just *** world records?
Bolt electrified the Olympics this week as he set records in both the 100-meter and 200-meter events. He became the first Olympian since Carl Lewis in 1984 to win gold in both those races.
James Flores / National Football League Bob Hayes is the exception when it comes to track stars trying to make transition to the NFL.
Photos: From track to the turf
FYI, we drafted Lewis in the 12th round of the 1984 draft. It was a calculated risk; Lewis never signed with Dallas.
We had set the ultimate precedent for that 20 years earlier, when we used our seventh-round draft pick on a marginal running back from tiny Florida A&M. Of course, it wasn't his skills as a running back that impressed us. We drafted Bob Hayes for one reason and one reason only: speed.
I first met Hayes in the spring of 1963, when I was introduced to him by Florida A&M coach Jake Gaither. The Cowboys just loved fast guys, and we felt he was worth a ***. Teams were allowed to draft players back then even if they still had a year of eligibility left, so we took Hayes in the 1964 draft -- which was actually held in December 1963.
Hayes had already set records in track, but his finest moments as a sprinter came later, in the 1964 Summer Games. Hayes set a then-world record of 10 seconds flat in winning gold in the 100 meters (even though he was running in a lane that had been badly worn from a race the day before). And in the 4 x 100 relay, he led an amazing come-from-behind victory with a 100-meter leg that was unofficially timed at 8.6 seconds.
When Hayes arrived in Dallas, we moved him to wide receiver to best take advantage of his speed, and it proved to be a wise move.
As a rookie with the Cowboys in 1965, Hayes caught 46 passes for 12 touchdowns and was selected to the Pro Bowl. After his first three seasons in Dallas, Hayes had a total of 159 receptions and 35 touchdowns -- an incredible average of one touchdown every 4.5 catches.
When you consider that the Cowboys ran the football 56 percent of the time back then, and they played a 14-game season, well, it's no wonder his teammates nicknamed him "Speedo." Not only did Hayes excel at receiver, but in 1968 he led the NFL with a 20.8-yard punt return average, returning two punts for scores (to go along with 10 TD catches -- his fourth consecutive season with at least 10).
While it's true that offensive schemes were much simpler in those days, Cowboys head coach Tom Landry did find creative ways to get Hayes the football. Not that it wasn't enough just to send Hayes deep every week. But Landry did something that was quite new at the time: He would have Hayes line up on the outside, take a step back as the ball is snapped and get a quick pass from the quarterback. The wide receiver screen was born. Bob Hayes, WR
Career Statistics: Seasons: 11 Receptions: 371 Yards: 7,414 Average: 20.0 Touchdowns: 71
With Hayes running the receiver screen, it was an unbelievably dangerous play. I remember former Giants cornerback *** Lynch was once asked about Hayes' speed and he said, "Well, I remember one game when he caught a quick screen at the 45-yard line. I started out even with him -- and by time he crossed the goal line he was 10 yards ahead of me."
Simply put, Hayes did more to change defenses than anyone to come into the league at that time. His ability to stretch the defense forced coaches to adjust the basic zone defenses they were using at the time.
It remains a major bone of contention to me that he is still not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Nobody will convince me that he doesn't belong. That said, he remains the only athlete to win both an Olympic gold medal and a Super Bowl ring.
In 1982, we lost out to the 49ers in our effort to sign another world-class track star, hurdler Renaldo Nehemiah. If not for America's boycott of the Moscow Olympics in 1980, the reigning world-record holder in the 110-meter hurdles at the time, likely would have matched Hayes' amazing double. He played three seasons for the 49ers and was part of the 1984 team that won Super Bowl XIX.
Other athletes to make the transition from the track to the turf include Ron Brown, Willie Gault and James Jett. Interestingly, all three, at one point in their NFL careers, played for Al Davis' Raiders.
Of course, that doesn't mean signing Olympic speedsters is a no-brainer.
Three years after we drafted Hayes, the Miami Dolphins tried to follow suit. Jimmy Hines was a sprinter from Texas Southern who did in the 1968 Olympics exactly what Hayes had done four years prior. Hines broke Hayes' Olympic record in the 100 meters, and he led an amazing comeback win in the 4x100 relay with a blazing anchor leg.
The Dolphins had drafted him in the sixth round in 1968, and they signed him just four days after the Olympics.
But Hines was no Hayes. In fact, it didn't take long before Hines earned a nickname of his own. The Dolphins called him "Oops" -- because that's what he said every time he dropped a pass in practice, which was often. Hines caught a total of four passes in parts of two NFL seasons.
So would Usain Bolt make it in the NFL?
There's no way of knowing for sure. He's got a tremendous body. The thing that would concern me is that he's such a long strider. Those long legs help him run fast, but they wouldn't do a lot of good making cuts.
That said, he could probably fly past most any cornerback. If he had any hands at all, he'd be scary. Certainly worth giving him a look if you're a team in need at receiver.
You never know when you might strike gold.
I am just so mystified by the negative comments on this topic that I just have to keep coming back and following up on the utter rubbish that some of you ignorant people post about Jamaica and Jamaicans. These are the same people who come up to you at work and ask if you can "cook me some *** chicken, oxtail, currygoat, peas and rice (no, it's rice and peas) or bring me some beef patties, ahhhh that's some good food!!"
Once in a while there are, however, some *** funny comments. ALL YOU JAMAICANS CHECK OUT NITTY'S POST.
Have you ever even read the Voting Rights Act of 1965? Your understanding of it is a little wrong.
See, before the Voting Rights Act of 1965 blacks were given the right to vote but in order to keep blacks from voting, polls would enact literacy tests or poll taxes to keep blacks from voting. Especially in areas of the South because most blacks were not educated and could not afford the tax. The government would try to crack down on say literacy test before voting but then a new measure would pop up to keep Blacks from voting. The voting rights act says that any such action is illegal. So Bush didn't grant anyone the right to vote for 25 more years but it's through the Act that most blacks were allowed to vote.
So if the act expires they can't take away a black pesons right to vote but someone could say you must have a college degree to vote (best example I could think of).
FYI u dumb mofos! americans smoke more weed than anyone in the world. Jamaicans do not smoke weed for breakfast lunch nor dinner. It's just as illegal there, u dumb fcks! The bigger concern is that we don't play that handball yall play. We play real FOOT ball... soccer. However, it aint a *** thing we can't do! Unlike some people, we're not lazy, nor dumb.
RUDEY....BREDREN.. you are being naive on this one
Usain isnt giving anything out of his pocket...PUMA will write that check to make him appear more likeable. This is where the handlers take over and the public relations starts. He probably knew nothing of the disaster. i bet this wasnt even his idea!!!!
mens 4x100 = drugs womens 4x100 = drugs doesnt make up for technique and experience
Russian women winning gold in 4x100 shows drugs are rampant!!...even though Jamaica dropped the baton..how the hell did they beat out EVERYONE else and never won in the history of the sport? Japan got bronze in the mens...hahaha yeah ok..another NEVER BEFORE moment
USA = retribution for their part in the drug game. now the smaller countries can get the good stuff to and you have to lay low of the juice after the Marion Jones scandal...so youre getting your azzzzes wizzipped! TOO BAD So SAD
It was sad to see them compare Insane Dolt to Jesse Owens and Carl Lewis. They were true athletes. Look at the bodies of the undgrugged athletes of then to the ROIDED UP HORSE BUTTS OF TODAY? Well NBC is just pimping Insane while the games are underway and they will send out reporters to investigate his suspicious WR breaking ability as soon as the olympic torch goes out...They cant wait for the press conference in which he hands his medals back like Ben Johnson and Marion Jones.
Congrats to the USA 4x4 mens, they broke the world record. Parcell have a lot of options now. Usain will be doing whats best for him. Congratulations to the Jamaican team for having their best Olympics... next up: Reggae Boyz qualification for the world cup...just got word that Usain will be playing left wing;;;
I hear you Beverly Hills... F*ck Nike....I've spent thousands of dollars on them for the past couple of years. I'm getting PUMAs from now; as a matter of fact I'm going out to get a pair today just to contribute to their rising sales. Usain did the best job at advertising his sponsor. He showcased the shoes, He rammed it the camera lenses, he kissed them, he waved them, he placed them next to the clock...lol and just for what he did, I'm getting me PUMA's
About him signing with the NFL...I don't think that's such a great idea even though he's gonna be paid big. All the injuries associated with the sport will just ravage and damage his body and when he can't play anymore he won't even be able to run track anymore. I say stick with the track...its what made him a star. But I'm all for him trying to make money whichever way he can.
JeanGrey - your insipid allegations without evidence make you appear to be a dolt. So, because smaller countries win these events that means they get access to drugs? What about the fact that these countries have caught up with the best training methods and are producing better athletes? You can see this in basketball and the USA losing on 2004. Other teams are good now with the sport and expertise becoming much more available.
