Tyreek Hill Accuses Noah Lyles Of Faking Sick After 200m Bronze, Thinks He Can Beat The Olympic Sprinter In A Race

Maybe if we put Noah Lyles in football pads, he'd have a hard time matching the "game speed" of one Tyreek Hill. Even in that instance, though, Lyles has engineered himself to perfect the art of sprinting in a straight line faster than any human walking the Earth. Tyreek nevertheless remains unimpressed with Lyles, who has been vocal about how NBA and NFL players claiming to be "world champions" is invalid, since they don't face true international competition like Olympians do. First of all, at least when it comes to the NBA, there are so many overseas superstars who've made the jump to the highest level of professional basketball. Nikola Jokic of Serbia led the Denver Nuggets to the championship in 2023. Slovenia's Luka Doncic sparked the Dallas Mavericks' improbable run to the NBA Finals this past postseason. Giannis Antetokounmpo delivered the Milwaukee Bucks a Larry O'Brien Trophy, punctuated by a 50-point close-out performance. The list goes on. Football has supplanted baseball as America's pastime and most beloved sport. Not a debate. While other nations enjoy their futbol, we love our football. Many of America's best athletes play the sport. I contend that most other countries' best specimens could train their whole lives and not hold a candle to the blend of power and raw athleticism we see on NFL fields every Sunday. Those guys are just built different. So when one of our own, a 100m Olympic gold medalist and 200m bronze medalist Noah Lyles comes at his American compatriots this way, trust that outspoken guys like Tyreek are going to call him out. Even better, The Cheetah wants a race with the reigning World's Fastest Man. Believes he would beat him. https://twitter.com/UpAndAdamsShow/status/1823053439708127531 The sprint that sets the tone for many NFL players' careers happens at the annual Scouting Combine or at their pro days, where they run the 40-yard dash. Hill probably runs something in the 4.2-second range. If we were just doing a 40 between Lyles and Tyreek, I actually like the Dolphins superstar's chances. The 100m is considerably further than that, and Lyles' specialty is the 200m as is. Tyreek's most out-of-pocket remark on Lyles is asserting that he faked sick after settling for bronze in the 200m in Paris. "Noah Lyles can't say nothing after what's happened to him. You know what I'm saying? Then he wanna come out and pretend like he's sick? I feel like that's, like, horseradish." Never heard that food used in place of the profanity. That's hilarious. However, let's not get the facts twisted. It was widely reported and confirmed that Lyles had tested positive for COVID . He made it to the podium anyway. Wildly impressive. On top of that, Lyles has asthma. Even the mildest COVID case could've busted up his lungs, especially during an Olympic sprint. I don't know, 'Reek. If it was a 100m dash, I think you'd be in trouble in the last half given the epic acceleration Lyles made to get the gold in that photo finish. https://twitter.com/NBCOlympics/status/1820187663153963281 I'd have my popcorn ready for a 40-yard race. Not holding my breath that it'll happen, at least unless/until the Dolphins' speed demons race each other first . Miami wideout Jaylen Waddle is rumored to have beaten Tyreek in a race last year. Calling out the 100m world champion is a bold choice by The Cheetah if he isn't the fastest dude on his own roster.
