Q&A with Teddy Williams

[KB_fan]

Really good article in the Observer.  Had no idea of some of Teddy Williams history.  Worth reading.

Here's an excerpt:

Q. Do they not know those (track) times you put up at Texas-San Antonio? Didn’t you have the fastest 100 time in the world at one point?

A. Yeah, in 2009 I had the fastest time in the world for over three months. It was crazy because second to me was Usain Bolt before the world championships when he went crazy. It was a good honor to have, that I was the fastest guy in the world.

Q. I did notice in the fine print it was wind-aided. How strong was the wind that day?

A. Hey, a race is a race. The other nine people had wind, too, and they didn’t run crazy.

Q. So why didn’t you play college football?

A. I broke my leg in high school and all the scholarship offers I had – because the break was so severe – that most people thought I wouldn’t be able to run again. I had a doctor look me in my face and tell me I wouldn’t be able to run again, on top of being able to play football again.

It's a race and I'm undefeated.

Joe has gotten better at breaking news and covering the team in general, but boy do his interview skills leave a bit to be desired. 

Question 6: So why didn’t you play college football?

Question 8: So you didn’t play in college?

We've established this...

Then later:

Teddy: I just said if football presented itself again, I’m going to go for it.

Question 10: So that’s what you did?

Obviously. 

Some cool stuff about Teddy though, he's got a cool/unique story.

Definitely, it could have been a much better interview, I too kept saying, "Yeah, Joe we already know he didn't play in college, ask something else!" LOL.  And I was frustrated that the interview kind of left us hanging as to how Teddy got back in the game after not playing in college.

But he has such an interesting back story that even a poor interview by Person came up with some choice material!

He said to bring it on.
