[Allan from Fallbrook]

[quote=afx114][quote=Allan from Fallbrook]I’m more amused by some of the guys who were clearly picked on by jocks in HS taking pot shots at football players now without any idea what they’re talking about.[/quote]

Funny, all the jocks who used to pick on me in HS are now bagging my groceries at Ralph’s.[/quote]

Afx: Public high school, I take it? Its a little different for private/parochial/Catholic school. We had seven academic All-Americans on our defensive unit alone.

Like I said, I get the whole “dumb jock” thing, but that’s a sweeping generalization and stereotype, and it doesn’t hold true for everyone.

Did the “jocks” pick on people where you come from, Allan? Did only football players do it or soccer players too, baseball players? Where I came from the “jocks” didn’t pick on anyone. The gangbangers were in charge of violence. To tell you the truth I don’t even remember the “Jocks”. I remember a few guys on teams that I had in classes or someone who lived in my neighborhood who was great but ended up on drugs.

I still think football is dominated by a combination of speed and weight and protection from collisions because of it. The big guys might be a little better on those fronts but I don’t see where they are demonstrating much talent that is obsrervable in other sports. It’s still run and get that dude or get in that dudes way.Maybe get a hand up and try to block a punt. I agree that the smaller position players show a lot of transferable skills/abilities and this is where your crossover athletes come from.

I also agree that the constant standing around, followed usually by a dog-pile aspect of football is annoying.

I can’t stand the hype around the NFL. Hate the game not the player.
