If you ever listen to most jocks being interviewed you quickly come the conclusion they tend to be on the duh side. It quickly dispells illusions that they have smarts beyond the playing field. If anything their lives are somewhat tunnel visioned towards the game they play and not much else.
Most of them..if not for sports..would never have made it to college..not that they ever go to classes...most would otherwise be mens room attendants, or flipping burgers..
