Linemen? I very seriously doubt that...Originally posted by MRT144

I see those guys huffing and puffing after having to move 20 yards at anything other than walking speed."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

There are only 2 players that play 60 minutes of a hockey game. Goalies.Originally posted by Asher
Depends -- are you talking about endurance or strength?
I'd like to see that guy play NHL-calibre ice hockey for 60 minutes and not be winded. Works different muscles than the legs alone.
Do you even understand your own sport?
Ever heard of line changes?
Being on skates aleviates the damage a lot of hits do. football players get hurt because they don't slide on the ground when hit.
ACK!
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!Comment

That's right, moving far faster with far more momentum alleviates the damage a lot of hits can do.
And, as you know, hockey players are checked all the time directly from behind, so they can utilize the skates to divert that energy into motion!
They never crash into the very hard ice, at all. Skates.

asher, can you run the 40 in less than 5 seconds? the fact they are huffing puffing is the result of not pacing themselves because football is a sport of short bursts.
even then, you would be smoked by a guy like orlando pace or jonathan odgen"I hope I get to punch you in the face one day" - MRT144, Imran Siddiqui

But who really cares about hockey anyway... Maybe up north they do, but in the US, even beach volleyball does better ratings than hockey play off games. The game is so crappy, the fans here have given up on it. Attendence is down, some teams have to PAY to have their games broadcast on radio... Frankly, it's a second rate sport. Maybe the great studs that Asher keeps talking about should take up a real sport.Keep on Civin'

baseball players are not athletes in general, especially not pitchers. you ever watch upper deck beck try to run? or david ortiz? or bob wickman?
however, every soccer player is an athlete."Everything for the State, nothing against the State, nothing outside the State" - Benito MussoliniComment

I just realized that if using my definition of an athlete then binge drinking and competitive eating would be sports...
