I am sure he can run faster

I am sure he can run faster now. This new high-tech prosthetic seems to be much better than the old one; I have seen an athlete who had a similar leg. That was bizarre. Anyway he looks very comfortable with his new leg.

About the blogger

D. Clay Best has served as the sports editor of The Herald since 1997 and has covered high school sports since 1992. He's gone through many neighborhoods of NFL-fandom including the Cowboys, Raiders and Patriots and is in limbo right now. If that's not enough to require therapy, he also has way too much brain space filled with useless info on the legendary '80s TV series "Miami Vice."
