I’ll give you hockey and NASCAR, but baseball? No, that’s a sport of skill. One must be able to hit a ball that does all kinds of funny things before it reaches the batter, sometimes at 98 miles an hour. One must also be able to run, catch, and throw. But you know that...I think.

Football players, especially the linemen, are merely hunks of muscle who are able to throw their weight at other hunks of muscle. The quarterback and wide receivers have skills but that’s all I see in the way of athletic ability in football.

We just disagree.
