Barry Bonds who?
Whatever
This is so ridiculous that it has taken me out of my self-imposed exile from the blog. Here's the headline: Robertson’s 2,000-pound lift raises eyebrowsVIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson says he has leg-pressed 2,000 pounds, but some say he'd be in a pretty tough spot if he tried.Robertson wasn't available for comment this weekend because he was "out of pocket." Why do I think that when he does comment "God" or "God's will" or "faith" are going to be the primary explanation offered.
The "700 Club" host's feat of strength is recounted on the Web site of his Christian Broadcasting Network, in a posting headlined "How Pat Robertson Leg Pressed 2,000 Pounds."
...
Clay Travis of CBS SportsLine.com called the 2,000-pound assertion impossible in a column this week, writing that the leg-press record for football players at Florida State University is 665 pounds less.
"Where in the world did Robertson even find a machine that could hold 2,000 pounds at one time?" Travis asked.
Andy Zucker, a strength-training coach at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, said leg presses of more than 1,000 pounds represent "a Herculean effort, and 2,000 pounds is a whole other story."
P.S. - Don't forget to check out the link just to see the picture. Definitely worth a look.

He was probably talking about "Jesus pounds", which are much lighter.
-O
When they asked Him how much He lifted, I bet he said "a ton" and they took His word for it.
Crazy Christians!
