Wednesday Morning Coffee Talk
Flotrack news and links for January 15th, 2014
Happy Wednesday Flotrack! If you were expecting a Workout Wednesday this morning, I'm sorry. I debated putting a picture of a WOW with David Rudisha and linking to this Coffee Talk, but decided that the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. So put down those pitchforks, come grab a seat, and fill up that mug with some sweet, sweet Ethiopian roast.
And now the "news"

Man digs up Bill Bowerman's front yard, finds legendary shoe
In other news, Bill Bowerman's front yard is now one giant excavating site. The shoe, which was one of the first Nike waffle prototypes, sold for $1,500. Just to give you some perspective, Christian Laettner's famous Duke jersey sold for $119,500. Duke basketball still sucks.

This tweet blew up faster than than #Kony2012
We really like Jon Mulkeen also known as Statman Jon. Heck, we even made his top 60 track and field Twitter accounts. So it's kind of funny that we retweeted this picture and presumably broke his phone from all of the notifications. Our bad.
If you liked that tweet, then you'll love the rest of his blog.

Lolo Jones was on The Biggest Loser and no I didn't watch it and no I don't have a link but this is important news so it should be included in Coffee Talk.
