Virginia Beach religious broadcaster Pat Robertson, who is 76, says he can leg-press 2,000 pounds. His effort is recounted on the Christian Broadcasting Network Web site, in a posting headlined, "How Pat Robertson Leg Pressed Two-Thousand Pounds." Robertson founded CBN and is host of its television show, "The 700 Club." Clay Travis of CBS SportsLinedotcom's online magazine called the assertion impossible in a column this week, writing that the leg-press record for football players at Florida State University is 665 pounds less. CBN spokeswoman Angell Vasko did not immediately return telephone calls seeking comment today. She told The Virginian-Pilot newspaper of Norfolk in an email that CBN's posting is correct. According to the CBN Web site, several people witnessed Robertson's leg press, the site says. It provides a link that CBN says shows Robertson performing ten repetitions of a one-thousand-pound leg press.
