Mary, I have seen many an engineer that can't write his way out of "Hop on Pop". One of the brightest attorneys I've ever met couldn't fathom elementary algebra. Just because Terry Bradshaw revels in the good ole boy schtick of his doesn't mean that he cannot be a bright individual. (In the investment business, Terry has done what we like to call a country on you. It is amazing how well that strategy works in Boston or New York. Country a guy for a while and he gets too cocky for his own britches and invariably lets his guard down.)

I have seen many talented kids get cut from the NFL only because they lack the brain power. Yes, there are some positions (like defensive end) that don't require much more than strength and speed, but that is the exception rather than the rule. An offensive lineman's scout report is a book that must be memorized and understood every week to the extent that a reaction of various tendencies becomes instinctive.

Ever notice how a lot of old baseball players lament that a lot of the young kids don't truly understand a lot of the nuances of the game? That's because while those nuances are helpful, they aren't essential. In football, if you don't understand the nuances, you don't know immediately which key you have to read given the situation, you don't survive.
