• Kareem is unfortunately gaining a reputation for two things: 'great reasons why I didn't win' and a choker.
  
  Please, can anyone tell me when was the last time this guy actually won a race? Or even placed in a well attended meet? He has placed a strong third in meets that seem to have been attended by a few unknowns.
  
  Kareem is saying that he must do better, but frankly he must do better than talk, win a race for god's sake.
  
  Well, it is very easy for me to sit at home and talk about winning, Kareem is a terrific talent and a good person, but he is also spending our money on the premise that he will win. He is a paid Government worker and we all have a right to demand excellent performance. Not a second from last finish, with an excuse of a bad lane.
  
  Kareem, here is some advice. No more excuses, develop a refuse to lose mentality, in fact at your level you must hate to lose for if you don't you will never win. Giving us a good effort is not enough. This is not Little League where the object is to have fun. Lose some sleep over this lost and the next time you just might win - John
