Steve Prefontaine: The Lost Press Conference

[pbs91111]

We talking about making the team man!

[2etc]

did he die because he could not take the defeat? did he lose because of overconfidence and arrogance? or did he display arrogance because of lack of international exposure? we wonder

[mshsxcrunner]

hey douche pre had more talent in his right calf then you willl in your emtire life.

[mamowolde]

yea...this is basically a slap in the face to the legend. Plus this never even happened...

[Skullbladeproduction]

Stfu

[teammike]

This is really funny; the critics need to lighten up a little.

[MrSlamdog3]

This isn't even remotely funny. Who the hell would ever waste their time making this?

[stogatrack]

PLEASE GOOGLE: ALLEN IVERSON PRACTICE

[ConnerMorris]

offensive...

[1tjcovert]

WHY???? Just so stupid. Sooooo are you talking about making the team?

[1tjcovert]

WHY????

[nhorton13]

82 people havent ran in their lives

[Jbellows10]

Haven't any of you geniuses heard of Allen Iverson? This is great by the way! 2 words: Lasse. Viren.

[chewbacawaka]

fuck this shit, all this talks about is just repeating the words "gold in munich" and "making the team". flagged for disrespect you piece of shit

[august22359]

Disrespect, fuck off you fat ass low life lazy motherfucker

[mark21565]

He claims we should all look the word "Parody?" Well he should look up the word "Disrespect" because that's all this crap is. Thanks for reminding all of the TRUE Pre fans that there are still losers like you in this world!

[Absolut1566]

Everyone flag this!! Pre is too good to be insulted by a low life ass like this.

[justinjewell11]

SOMEONE OUGHT TO BEAT THE FUCK OUT OF THIS GUY. THIS ISN'T FUNNY OR ANYTHING. PRE IS AMAZING AND THIS GUY IS JUST A PIECE OF SHIT.

[Whoamiyours]

Very disrespectful to one of America's best athletes of all time. Heroes should be respected.

[MonsterZ172]

Disrespect to the greatest runner in history!!!! Absolutly not ok!!!!! I'll beat the shit out of this guy.

[28jake021]

I watched the first 3 seconds and thumbsed it down

[mamowolde]

wow this vid has more dislkes than likes!!!hahah

[ksrmk]

@mamowolde

this video draws everyone back, doesn't it?

[JMan31852]

this is screwed up.This guy probably never made a team

[supermcballin]

Everyone flag to get it taken off

[nextpre2]

Flag as inappropriate

[dpmcab]

wow this is very insulting to Pre...just take it off before i punch my computer

[Seishi41]

Rather pathetic video.

[nateshoemaker1]

screw you

[cunykurosaki91]

lmaooo this shxt was funny

[beckyhammonbest]

Fuck this bitch...flag it everybody. And be comforted in knowing that if it doesn't get this shit pulled off there will ALWAYS be "Karma." Rest In Peace Pre

[flang95]

So beyond gay

[Nerble351]

One of the stupidest video's I've ever seen. Nice comb-over baldy.

[greenificationnow]

ok. i get it. it's an a.i. joke, but pre deserves more respect than this

[mhdezvasyoumom]

This is totally disrespectful, and the video makes no sense.

[nobos5is]

@mhdezvasyoumom It's a parody on Allen Iverson talking about practice. It makes perfect sense

[RunninRebelBen]

Clearly all the die hard distance people chastising this video don't pay attention to the NBA...

[nobos5is]

@nobos5is inspiring*

[markleyjarrod2012]

"A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more. Nobody is going to win a 5,000 meter race after running an easy 2 miles. Not with me. If I loose forcing the pace all the way, well, at least I can live with myself." And that is what he did in the '72 Olympics against Viren! When you run a 13:28:3 in the 5000 meter at the Olympics, let me know.

[John2070]

I find this video highly offensive.

[migettman47]

Steve Prefontain is the greatest runner of all time, and as a teenager i look up to him because im a runner to. so fuck all you disrespectfull people, Prefontain takes a shit on all of you haters

[ksrmk]

@migettman47

steve prefontaine is not the greatest runner of all time. do you know anything about running?

[mark21565]

Apparently there re 78 assholes that butt fuck each other for liking this garbage! Funny how you tube takes off a record being played on a turntable but they let this shit head keep this crap on here. Oh, BTW...wanna come to colorado and "Talk" to me about this shit video...please come visit me jerk! We are a "Make My Day" state!

[ksrmk]

@mark21565

haha...douche. mr make my day is going to shoot someone for making this video. all you dolts should look up the word parody.

this video will never come down.

[pressuredrop311]

u should make a cool car crash scene... and die

[PreSwagger13]

This really pisses me off. He is one of the best runners in american history. This man disgraced Pre. Your Sick. Your a Jerk.

[budin8]

`Porque hiciste esa estupidez? Tu eres loco? Why did you do this stupidity? Are you crazy? Eres una desgracia para los americanos. You are a disgrace to the americans. That is Steve Prefontaine you are making fun of you moron,show some more respect.

[gottogethuge]

OP is a phaggot

[gabeqb]

I really don't talk shit on this but this guy deserve to get his ass kick. Or get shot. Either way

[ACoKyo]

yawn

[mattschrupp]

In hate you

[uvonpunkfarm1]

I didn't find this video funny even though it was meant to be. It's not a good idea to joke about a deceased and respected athlete who represented your country.

[h8erguy]

this guy did great things. Id like to see you run 1 lap of the racetrack, let alone a 13:21 5k. This guy was an inspiration, your a dick.

[raulevich]

es una basura una merda

[emotzki]

FUCKING DISRESPECT! YOU A-HOLE!!!

[drewml2]

shut the fuck up 

[speakerbeing1]

dude....seriously!!! just delete this shit already lol

[michaelevanmann]

Prefontaine was a man who lived his life in pursuit of greatness, he never ran a race without giving all his effort from the starting gate to the finish line. It seems all to often there is someone who will never reach a level of mediocrity with their own life, who feels the need to make fun of someone who has achieved greatness. Never speak of the dead. This disrespect can only be

described as obscene. Only a total moron would think to post such a video.

DO THE RIGHT THING TAKE THIS OFF

[auggdogrules]

you wish you had prefontaines hair,what the hell is that a dead terantula spider on the top..you nit wit

[MrMark511]

your hairline is receding



[linglingjr]

not funny why dont you look up pre and see that he was a real person that lived and died young making fun of that isnt funny if you want to make fun of something it should be picking your nose

[Bannanalingling]

i made an acount just to comment and say your going to die young. painfull. and ironicly. driving your fucking car.

[athleteization]

You got some sort of caterpillar on your lip. Grow a real mustache.

[NIKEAIR811]

im going to butt-punch you, asslicker

[imdagreatest4eva]

i wana fuckin punch your dumb ass

[kokkky777]

your retarted

[kgtomcat]

no matter what you do, you'll never be happy. you are nothing but a sack of shit.

[Zorkiller]

WTF... this is an total disrespect of one of the greatest athlete in the history of sport.....

[theblurr5495]

@Zorkiller Thank u mate Pre is an icon!

[BentheJuneBug]

Go fuck yourself, then take a long walk on a short pier... asshole

[runningfreak118]

what went through your head when you thought this was a good idea? just huge disrespect to the most inspirational runner america has ever had

[runner20sander]

think you said "makin' the team" enough?

[MrTaipan55]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[gatlingjo]

your a fucking loser. he looked better than your retarded ass. go die useless fuck

[NCdistance]

Hilarious. Hahaha. We talkin' about practice mayne.

[VirenKickedPresAss]

Was he talking about making the team?

[fosbury68]

The video is worth a chuckle. But the over the top responses from the Pre worshipers - most of whom probably weren't even alive when he died - are truly hilarious.

[Boom7fly]

He looks like Pre ! What is his name ?

[themaje]

Found no humor in in this, but did find irony. Both Allen Iverson and Steve Prefontaine left it ALL out on their respective playing fields, and both had a supreme sense of confidence.

Otherwise, I found the piece utterly disrespectful and distasteful. And I got the point as well. Both athletes, at their height, were as competitive (if not dominant) as anyone before or after them. And both were a handful, at times, for the media.

[sjd2112]

Is this supposed to be funny version of Iverson's "practice?"

better luck next time

[garic2k]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[skullkrushr93]

Wow. Fucked up. I'm all for making fun of Allen iverson but don't make fun of Pre. That's just sick. Asshole

[DanielEdey]

Pre wore Adidas.

Cya

[trakstud7]

take this video down you waste

[seaserpant]

this is hilarious, actually.

[ducksfan4ever711]

fuck you jackass

[ducksfan4ever711]

fuck you

[yozeroz]

hahahaha wtf

[theroker99]

stop making fun if steve prefontain hes a greater runner than u ever will be

[Turbettg1]

This really is just plain stupid and not remotely funny.

[wolflexure]

your a piece of shit good for nothing and so is everyone else that comments about liking this video and ESPECIALY the people who said PRE would have respected this video.. you are all pieces of shits and need to burn in hell

[Fun2Run89]

horrible video, wont lie was very stupid...atleast pick a wanna be that looks like him, disrespect

[naamanb]

BRAVO!! this is soo funny!

[11paulstreet]

Fuck you man

[peytonisapimp]

Fuck you bitch. Do you honestly think Pre would think this is funny? This is fucking disrespectful. So you can go fuck yourself.

[gusparaguss]

Thank you, SeattleUntimely, for the truth. Finally an honest portrayal of a great but deeply flawed individual. I believe even Pre himself would have at least respected the honesty of the this video.

[VRKjonny]

obviously the person who made this isnt too serious for running, or atleast doesnt respect the sport. prefontaine is a running idol and what he did for the sport is not comparable to any athelete of any other sport, this is just a lot of disrespect

[jaymacc91]

this is fuckin dumb

[ktorca]

@jaymacc91 agree, fu*k dumb also, stupid and pathetic. SeattleU. WTF were you thinking when you put up this piece of irreverent crap?? What goes around comes around.. Karma will nail you for this one, hope it happens in my lifetime so I can hear about it. Jerk

[jakegumm10]

duuude u dont look like pre, u look like my hairy ballsacks after working a 8 hour shift man

[raleighgranprix]

Is this a play or something? Maybe they should make it a play.

What about the Sad Sacks putting this down? Haven't you seen skits with Vince Lombardi? It is not disrespectufl. Those who say so are 'prudish.'

[jackfin321]

hahahah iverson reference

[TheJulianthegreat]

nice mustache dick. What was the point of making this video?

[trueathlete15]

Wow, this is fuckin stupid. Poor attempt to try to use Pre in a Allen Iverson "practice" press conference.

[geto235]

We talkin bout practice! We talkin bout practice!

[TheRealRussG]

LAME VIDEO... trust my advice >>>>> don't bother watching it just move along and watch some real Pre footage.

[powayxc]

if this was intended to be funny, you failed and your a complete dick for disrespecting pre. what the fuck makes you think you can make this damn video?

[Janetlee0224]

This is crap. Pre would have never sounded this stupid. Get a life.

[bartschmister]

dude you should delete this video. Its a disgrace to all things Pre. It was crap any ways crap acting crap angles. Just stop making movies and save us all some time....

[Chocosizzles]

What is the point in this? Can you explain how this obvious parody is supposed to be funny?

[orangekush3]

@Chocosizzles pre talked like this...although he could run he wasn't the smartest man...that's why its funny...nothing more.

[Missjuicymakeup]

Pre is a legend - DO NOT MAKE FUN OF HIM.

[DOEBOY546]

Really? What's wrong with you? Please just delete this video. Pre is a legend and has outstanding endurance. You can't compete with any athlete just take this video off.

[flyingsquirrel326]

Not gonna lie, pre was kind of a dick to the rest of the running community for most of his career. Just like Allen iverson.

[Hunterhikes]

Flagged. I encourage others to flag it as inappropriate as well.

[Hgreene1130]

and I STILL hate you.

[rondolce]

He's a distance running guy, not a media guy.

[pavelkostov]

Fuck you for putting this up. Pre was a legend.

[rondolce]

With the right accents this could be a Cheech and Chong bit.

[kidnicks3]

saddening if anyone finds humor in this

[Ribby1310]

LMAO... for all of you that don't get it search 'Iverson Practice' on Youtube. They almost sync up perfectly if you run them together.  Genious.

[iZ0x]

This is SO damn funny! I can totally see pre saying this LoL

[fugimble]

Fuck you.

[dheeren62]

This is really moronic. I actually look like Pre, and I wouldn't make a complete and utter piece of crap like this. Have some respect for the greatest USA runner ever. Obviously you are not a runner. Why don't you just make a video of Carl Lewis and have some gay black man play Lewis. That would be funny.

[fosbury68]

Nike has lionized Prefontaine for 35+ years. People have been conned into thinking that he was some kind of dominant runner on the world level - he wasn't.

People are reacting to this video as if someone peed on their paper mache icon. The thing is - Pre had a sense of humor and perspective about his own accomplishments. If he were alive I bet he'd find this funny and would find his craven little posthumous disciples pathetic.

[classiccr7]

your such a fag,

[Alos21]

fucking "get a life club" member,go buy yourself a fucking WoW or something and remove Pre`s name from this dumb ass video!!!

your dad should start using some fucking condoms!

[JonasRunner1]

wow epic fail bro. Your an idiot.

[sjd2112]

is this suppose to be a prefontaine's version of allen iverson's "practice"?

[downtobring]

Holy mother fucking fail !!!

[Hgreene1130]

I still hate you. (Danish cartoonist drawing Muhammad logic).

[flashbradley11]

is this supposed to be like alan iverson's rant with practice? oh wait it is...but its gay.. alan iverson=shitty, prefontaine=god

[shuttheefrontdoor]

listen shitface, just because you say your not trying to be disrespectful with this long fucking excuse, doesn't mean it's not disrespectful. your bich-ass might as well have ressurected pre(RIP) and slapped him in the face. you're a bitch, mother fucker, asshole, worth less than a piece of shit faggot, that's probably a smartass fat fuck. fuck you and everyone else who doesn't think this is desrespectful. thankyou and goodnight bitch

[crazedaf]

We're talking bout making the team.

[jester444]

making the time ... or practice.....nice

[xcevers]

almost 80% dislike this video hahahahaha

[lg2093]

massive disrespect, your a jackass

[peglegmcgee]

Funny Reminds me of Allen Iverson Talking about Practice

[acstopps]

I lake it... all you idiots complaining about "the actor going to hell" are borderline retarded. Its not making fun of Pre. its taking a running legend and putting him into the place of a pretty funny allen iverson interview... its good

[BEATLEBEAR68]

wow if you had some respect for pre you wouldve never even posted this video in the first place. your probably some fat fuck whos never stepped foot on a track before.

[rotationmatrix]

It's not funny, you're just an asshole.

[noahkyle1]

wow stfu your really gay.. which you have no idea what your talking about.... FAGGET

[metsrule660]

The actor is fucking going to hell

[icvcgw]

make the team my ass!...Pre wanted gold and deserved GOLD...he would have achieved it for sure if he was able to run at the 1976 Olympics!!!

[benfox559]

your an asshole. Have some respect.

[benfox559]

your an asshole. have some respect

[EmericaaciremE]

This video is so bad. Not only is this guy a fucking faggot but he should probably go kill himself

[emeraldsteve]

I was just wondering, did he make the team?

[rockinsurfkid]

you could never ever, run as fast as pre. ever. get the fuck off of youtube

[fosbury68]

They named a street in Eugene after Pre.

4th Street.

[fosbury68]

This is outstanding! 6 stars!!

[paulbeatles201]

STUPID!!!!

[crazy14peace]

not funny... big waste of time

[guitarboy2014]

dude ur a douch

[kalaku11]

tzzz allen iverson

[xxxDAPROBLEMxxx]

why is the rating so low the info on the side is pretty funny/good. I thought the vid was funny after realizing you were referencing AI maybe Im the only one that knows bball and track?

[coalcoalcoal]

is this actually thee Prefontaine?

[BruinsOfBoston]

Fuck no lol

[drumsisc00l]

omg. you wasted 2:00 of my life that i will never get back.

[SeattleUntimely]

This is an excellent use of the 'that's [period of time] of my life I won't have back' template that we expounded upon previously in this thread.

Remember that just because the video is two minutes doesn't mean that's the period of time you have to use. Next time try something different, like fifteen seconds. After all, the shorter the time period, the more it stings.

[drumsisc00l]

I just thought that if I watched most of the video it might make some sense at the end but it didn't. If I watched 15 seconds there could have been something at the end that I would have missed, but there wasn't.

[SeattleUntimely]

Fair enough. We were also disappointed that, for budgetary reasons, we were not able to include a twist ending that would rival the famous, mind-blowing twist ending of the original Iverson 'practice' press conference.

Spoiler Alert: Iverson has nominal aphasia.

[mattlowe20]

@SeattleUntimely You should be ashamed of yourself for disrespecting a legend, the one man that I look up to other Jesus. Take this video off not just for your sake of being humiliated because everybody on here wants to kick your ass, but for everybody's sake. For the people, like me, that look for hope when they do something that they absolutely love and respect out of anything in the world.

[mikeylazer1]

@SeattleUntimely dude i want pre to come back and kick you in the fukin face. he is the jesus to us runners. He is the is the first coming of the running gods and halie is the second. go play baseball fag

[raleighgranprix]

@mikeylazer1 You are a jack ass, go find the people who have made films of Vince Lombardi or Babe Ruth and do that. It doesn't show disrespect. What a hoser!

[tonymcheezee]

WTF is this!?

[phidelt380]

wow you a fucking dumbass
