ok guessing even if mr cody win the thing i would still be a country mile away from winning

Good guess.

Any of those phrases would be an improvement.
Personally, I wouldn't have offered 5,000/1 on him achieving the "impossible" this year.
It was the reporter's immediate contradiction of the original assertion that chafed the most.

I also thought there was an ideal opportunity to use a semi-colon, too.

Why would you want to stop them?

It's the perfect opportunity to get $10 million from a Nigerian prince, grow a 2 foot pecker, purchase a lifetime's supply of Viagra at a very decent price and then marry a beautiful young Russian girl who just needs the cost of the flight to come to England to meet you.

You just need to widen your horizons and take a chance.
