I guess that's why you see so many John Daly's winning in the F1 circuit...
Good point.

Wait, no it wasn't. It was about as silly as thinking somebody that drives a car is a world class athlete.

Tony Stewart and Denny Hamlin are pushing maximum density in those cockpits.
Golf is more akin to figure skating. For something to be a sport I think you need both offense and defense. Golfing is really just one man out there performing all by himself. Sort of like figure skating.

I seem to recall a conversation back in the day that NAZZCAR drivers were indeed world class athletes.

I remember that. And my thinking was the same then.

With training and practice, it's possible I could become a race car driver. I could train and practice until I was blue in the face and still not be able to cover Dez or play short stop in the majors.

Anybody that relies on their owner, sponsors, mechanics, and pit crews to be competitive is disqualified in the athlete discussion. Jordan back in the day would have still kicked major ass playing barefoot on a dirt court with an old scuffed up ball.

Prince Fielder proves that baseball players aren't atheletes too

I was reading this somewhere else and some douche said Favre. Dumb

Anyway, I think it is much tougher to name an NFL player in those category. I mean, Deion maybe? That's a tough one.
I bet if aliens landed tomorrow and asked the same question, you might get...


1. Jordan
2. Fav-Ruh
3. Tebow

But in all seriousness, I can't speak to this.

I pay zero, I mean zero, attention to sports other than football.

I might watch a UFC match, Boxing match, a Final Four here, a World Series there, maybe even a Stanley Cup game if there is nothing else to do.

And fuck all that soccer, tennis, golf and auto racing shit.

Fat guys can be athletes as well, he was a pretty good 1st baseman for a long time.
He's still pretty decent. He just gets hits and stuff. A lot of them.

Yeah he has great feet and moves well for a fat guy.
He was voted something like top hustle guy or something. He always gives his best, and for a fat man to haul ass down the first base line every time is impressive
