Mary,

That in fact is the main ingredient in football attraction, the mayhem. Not athletic esthetics. It's like going to see a car race (don't get me on that) and waiting for a car crash.

Major disagreement. There's nothing like watching all the receivers fan out going down field on a pass play and the QB making a perfect pass to a blanketed receiver. Have to be at the stadium for that, though. Or, Barry Sanders doing his thing changing direction several times on a 70 yard run? Like Baryshnikov. Gale Sayers the same. The power, speed and moves of Jim Brown. OJ too.

That is normally what is left after a lifetime of developing pitching skills. You don't start out to develop the skills of a left handed pitcher coming in to get that one left handed batter out. That is the rare exception in baseball. Most baseball players have to hit, run, field, and throw.

True, true, but other than placekickers, you can't hang on in football based on one tiny sliver of a skill.

IMO a skinny little gymnast is far more athletic than most football players.

Something tells me some big klutz of a football player stepped on your foot on a cold winter day on the sideline in Fargo or something. Bangor? Ouch!

Tony
