Usain Bolt could use some humility

[aMrsin09]

so much for being a legend ... who is he?

[rodeored]

Agreed, he makes me want to change the channel.

I love what the guy on NBC said "No one can have a higher opinion of Usain Bolt than he has of himself".

My H is infuriated by him!! He thinks it makes people look poorly on his country (H is from Montego Bay)
I find his braggy ways a little endearing. He'll be all obnoxious for a second and then he is so polite to the interviewer and fans. LOL it is hilarious to me.

That was awesome. :-)

I normally can't stand Bob Costas but I did LOL when he said that!

My H is highly suspicious that, what was it 3, top times all came from Jamaican runners and not just fast, breaking unbelievable records.

And I agree with you, but then I feel that way about a lot of top athletes.

I don't mind Bolt too much - he's so unapologetically cocky I can almost respect his honesty - but that cracked me up. Totally true.

H and I had this discussion yesterday. We were slightly hoping he'd get beat to shut him up for a while.

I freaking love Usain Bolt and the love he harbors for himself. This video makes me lol every time.

Hold the phone. Your H is from there? Meaning, he has an accent? Please don't hate me for saying this: your H was hot before, and now he's hotter.

I agree with you. He's putting on a show, and it's entertaining. I've seen lots of footage of him being respectful in interviews and sweet to kids.

And I'm sorry, but any U.S media criticizing another countries athletes for showboating is probably just sour grapes.

Well, duh! We are the best at everything!

[azurely]

Yep I agree. He is amazing, but his cockiness turns me off.

[emsumm]

I don't really mind it, it's kind of endearing Also, I agree with Quesera.

LOL
His accent and voice in general were things I immediately took notice of when we met. He has a very deep voice. I just barely hear an accent now that we have been together so long . I think it has faded too. He still has a touch of it, but he sounds more NY to me than Jamaican.
