I was under the impression that the sportsbras are actually heart rate monitors... but i could be wrong.
It's more than just an HRM. http://www.sportingformzone.com/2011/03/16/sfz-footballer-fads-gp-sports-training-vests/ http://gpsports.com/gpsports_website/
I love how all the other guys seem relaxed or even bemused about the bike ride while Bradley has game face.
Sure, just like a Jaguar is just another form of a Pinto. I'm so tempted to go off on a tangent about how Kleenex != tissue, Xerox != copy, Hoover != vacuum, etc etc Oh wait, too late.
The connotations of the "just another form of Garmin" post seemed to be that it's no big deal and a Garmin could do what the GPSport thing could do which is not the case. Just as a pinto could not outperform a jag on a track and does not share all the features of the more expensive model while they are both cars. It doesn't matter if they were manufactured by the same company and it doesn't matter if they both happen to breakdown as often(which I doubt is the case), it's irrelevant to the point I was trying to make. They also serve different specific purposes despite the fact that they share the same general purpose of an automobile. I'm sure I could have picked a better analogy but it was the first that came off the top of the head and took a few seconds to post. Btw, what they are using is a hell of a lot more sophisticated than a Forerunner. Did you even read the article that I linked to?
1) Decaf 2) Prior to Ford's acquisition, Jaguar had a terrible, horrible, awful service record with expensive maintenance, long shop time and frequent breakdowns. If anything, the Pinto had a better service record than Jags while the Pinto was being made. It's only drawback, aside from being somewhat underpowered, was that it detonated in a rear end collision. They ran well and were pretty easy to DIY maintain, until someone tapped you from behind.
So is Bradley more of a Pinto or a Jag? I think of him as sort of a Hyundai: on the rise, pseudo-sporty but true quality will only be established with time.
And more importantly, what kind of car is Edu? Because one of those two can only be praised at the expense of the other. (Please don't answer)
This thread is awesome now. Prince comparisons, Jags, Pintos, GPS tech, and fine film references. Oh yes, I am subscribing, can't wait to see what's next!! Back on topic - I think the Hyundai comparison is correct!
I don't think Hyundai makes pickups though, do they? Or do they sell them in the states? Because I think of Bradley more along those lines, dedicate, workhorse type. Like Hejduk would be a Dodge Ram with flame pinstriping. Bradley would be a Hyundai equivalent sans striping. Yes, I know they play different positions.
I am a big critic of how much MB has been played on the USMNT, but I'm extremely happy for the move and very excited to follow him in Italy. I suggested Mexican/SA league to help his play; I think Italian style play will help greatly with his technical skills, even though I think Italians play a bit of a safer style.
Since Mikey is a student of the game, I expect the move to be very beneficial for him. When he went to Heerenveen, he became a better professional, smarter and a better attacker. When he went to Germany, despite the critics who failed to see him week in and week out with Gladbach, he became a better defender and improved his passing. I think he will definitely become smarter, tactically, playing in Serie A.
I'm hopeful of a more technical player who really understands the tactical nuances of positional team defense. The Netherlands improved his strike and opportunistic runs. Michael's touch and vision grew significantly in Germany. I expect Italy to add both flair and polish to his touch and passing as well as finesse to his defense.
I dunno. Hyundai's quality atm is as good or better than all of the normal ones. Chevy, Ford, Toyota, etc
