I think we have issues in our own "White House" with our elected officials that could Trump what Qatar did. Some body is Getting Paid. Our people Flip Flop so much it's like a fish out of water ...Carry On...

why do threads on here have to turn into trash talk fests? I witnessed this record set and I have got to say I have never seen the crowd get so quite at the shootout. everyone shut off the music near us and stopped talking until we heard the 244 announced and everyone went crazy. it was something I will never forget

One company and name I see left out of all the praise....


Nice job by team Qatar but especially John Cosker and the team over at mystic for building such a remarkable machine.

Actually David Scott tried it with basically the same hull and engines 9 or 10 years ago and failed. And David Scott is one astute individual.

To GRH. If you closely examine the way the owners and administrators of professional football and professional basketball in the U. S., you will find that Qatar is a exemplary model of how to treat employee in their service. Case in point -- Vince Young. He was basically an uneducated youth with some talent that the NFL used and used-up and then discarded like so much vermin. Check in on Earl Campbell -- broke and in a wheel chair. Then there's O. J.! The list goes on and on and on ....

I don't recall saying "we are better than them"..... btw it was Ken Warby that said "time money and patience" is all it takes....he was almost 100mph faster than Qatar 30+ years ago.....
