apparently, the intended sarcasm didn't come through as i had intended....the fact is, i dig what the kid has to say. that doesn't mean i always agree with him, or that much of what he says wouldn't pack a much greater wallop if he ran as well as he has a bit more consistently...
my point is that we gripe and moan about a definite lack of exposure, a lack of 'personalities', a lack of anything where the rest of the american sporting scene is concerned and now we've got an interesting head going with a very talented body and it's time for him to "shut up and get a normal hair cut"? no thanks. just because he doesn't fit into someone else's paradigm of good behavior befitting a creative, intelligent athlete in his early 20's, doesn't mean i don't have room for him in my spectrum. i'll take gabe's weirdness anytime: good, bad or indifferent. besides, most distance guys i know are nuttier than a stuckey's pecan log...they just don't have articles written about them,their antics or their thoughts on something other than how it feels to run four laps in under four minutes.
