Fast, strong, not that tall, makes a lot of sense to me. Hell, if Lolo Jones did it........
October 26th, 2015 at 7:12 PM ^
Before Lolo, back in the early 90s Herschel Walker did it I believe. So there is prescedence for footballers to bobsled.

Indeed it was 1992 in the 2-man sled. I thought it was more recent, but I guess that was because he tried his hands at MMA. HW is kinda different though. Him at 48:

1st ever backflip while racing in a bobsled is just going to be epic.

October 26th, 2015 at 4:55 PM ^

If Jamaicans can.... North Texas gets some ice (may be snow).

Is John Candy the coach?
October 26th, 2015 at 5:22 PM ^
October 26th, 2015 at 6:39 PM ^
resides on the wrong side of the daisies to coach anymore.
Cool Runnings was one of his last movies that he made before making the final trip down the bobsled run.
October 26th, 2015 at 5:22 PM ^
No one's ready to play on a team he's coaching
October 26th, 2015 at 5:00 PM ^
His youtube bobsled highlights are off the chain!
Joke aside, congrats to McGuffie. Good for him.

So bobsledding is officially the sport for people who didn't make it in thier first-choice sport?
Fell down while trying to qualify? Too many concussions to play football? Can't quite dunk? Bobsledding might be right for you.

That dude...
I'm really hoping to see some youtube videos in which he sprints down the starting chute and instead of the standard "jump in" to the bobsled, he does the old front flip into the sled a la his old highlight videos.
/runs, flips over large human, says "i'm sam mcguffie /flex
Good for him! I actually really like watching bobsled/luge/skeleton during the Olympics.

I think it was already posted when it came up but he also auditioned for American Ninja Warrior. Not sure if he made it on or not.
October 26th, 2015 at 10:39 PM ^
Thanks for posting. He's a great athlete with a diverse skill-set and would probably perform well in any competition that doesn't involve hits to the head or rebounding. Video was pretty poor IMHO. Apologies to his cousin with nephrotic syndrome. Hopefully she is doing well.
October 26th, 2015 at 7:03 PM ^
Awesome is this.
