Jean-Paul: Part 2

Yahoo Sports: German speedskater Patrick Beckert missed out on a chance to compete in the Olympics because hiscell phone was turned off prior to the start of Wednesday’s 1,000m competition. Officials were trying to contact the 19-year old, who was the fourth alternate in the race. Patrick will never live this one down. Everything in life reverts back to Seinfeld and the same is true here. This time it was not the radio alarm, volume, snooze, but the dreaded cell phone (damn technology). Some cell carrier needs to grab Patrick before he jumps over the ledge and make him the spokesman for their service. Being a 4th alternate I can’t see he would be that offended. Source: LD |
