CRIMINAL, JUST CRIMINAL As of now, Haile Gebrselassie, the world's greatest distance runner, is getting killed by Thierry Henry in the first round of ESPN.com's greatest living athlete bracket.

First of all, no Frenchman could ever beat an Ethiopian. Ever.

Second: I knew Americans, in their endless ignorance, had no love for distance running, a.k.a. the world's purest athletic endeavor. But Premiere League soccer isn't exactly the national past-time either.


ugh.
