Pat Robertson the Next Sampson

Dip Wad Pat Robertson is going around telling people he bench press 2000 pounds with his legs, and he's serious folks. heres the Damn Article from Sports Illustrated

It all makes sense now. The other day 76-year-old Pat Robertson, the founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network and The 700 Club, claimed that three years ago he leg-pressed 2,000 pounds? The video currently online where he appears to be leg-pressing close to 1,000? His miracle "age-defying" shakes that made it all possible, which contain soy protein isolate, whey protein isolate, apple-cider vinegar and ... flaxseed oil? Flaxseed oil!

Don't you see? Barry Bonds wasn't using steroids. Greg Anderson and Stan Conte are scapegoats! Bonds has been chugging Robertson's magic shakes!

Imagine Robertson's secret underground lab, where he's used thousands -- if not millions -- of dollars in "donations" from "loyal viewers" to set up all kinds of test tubes and beakers and flasks, with electricity crackling all around him, bubbles popping. He puts his head back and laughs maniacally, slickly grasping two test tubes, somehow succeeding where decades of nutritionists and athletes and health experts have so miserably failed.

Either that or he's lying. Like Bonds. But unlike Bonds, it's harder to call Robertson a liar. Not because he says things that are truthful, but because it's significantly more likely that he's simply crazy.

"If he was able to lift that much weight, I take my hat off to him, but the numbers suggest that people who lift that much weight are few and far between," Andy Zucker, a strength coach at Old Dominion University, told The Associated Press. "One would have to see what type of leg-press it was on and under what parameters it was done."

Angell Vasko, a spokeswoman for the Christian Broadcast Network, told the AP she wouldn't be surprised if Robertson really leg-pressed a ton. "This is something he trained for over an extended period of time. He lives a very healthy, regimented life," she said.
