Prior to the event I'd guess no but as you posted it I'll guess yes.

Is this Fat Kid on 99x?

No, 99x is alt rock.

This is a sports AM station.

In other words, stop cheating by trying to type "fat" and "atlanta radio station" into google, because I know there's an intern at 99x named Fat Kid. Different guy.

I said no. I used to run the 100m back in high school and my best time was 12.5 seconds. I was fast and in condition then. I doubt any workout regimen will properly prepare a 405 pound man to run the 100m in 22 seconds. It's too much weight to propel over too great a distance.

Maybe if they put a donut at the finish line...

22 second 100m is like slightly under a 6 minute mile, which is a pretty strenuous jog. I don't know if any of you watched the biggest loser, but this guy is pretty close to Mo size, so I'm saying no by a long shot.

Case,

12 seconds?? 40 meters?? Are you sure you have that right?? I think I could bear crawl and clock a 40 time better than 12 seconds.

Yes, I remember feeling very, very bad for the guy. I bet you could bear crawl a 40m dash in 12 seconds. I don't think it would be that hard.

I am betting that there was no running involved whatsoever. At best, a man this fat's top speed could only be light jogging, and even then the blubber on his legs would be rubbing together at such a pace that it may start a fire. There is no way he beat 22 seconds.

Sports AM? 750?

It's the only sports station in Atlanta. That other one sucks.

I doubt it. I remember back in highschool ~300 pound football player was barely able to run the 40 meter dash in 12 seconds. Add 100 pounds and 60 meters and 22 seconds seems like an impossibility.

The slowest kid on every HS football team in America could fall down twice and still complete the 40 in under 12 seconds.
