I know a little about baseball too. I had a friend who was a big baseball player back in high school. Man he could through that speed ball by you... make you look like a fool.

It was actually Eric Smith, posting under the moniker 'Darrellegivesmeaboner#24'.

I was once offered a title shot by a reigning world champion. I trained in my backyard and the streets of my city, punching carcasses, chasing chickens, drinking raw egg yolks. I know what it tak

Not sure I understand why aec felt the need to start this thread...but I'll use the logic that was thrown in my face...

"Just because I didn't play the game, doesn't mean that I can't be an informed observer with an opinion."

I did not play pro sports. Long story.

I have, however, been in several professional locker rooms in a couple of sports and regularly inside those of two division I football programs.

That said...I'm not going to criticize you. You're entitled to your opinion just like the rest of us. You could be entirely nuts...but that's a "you problem" not a "me problem". ;)

Parcells was a linebacker at Wichita State. If that's significant, I fully expect a much better linebacker like Joey Porter to become a HOF coach after he retires. :bag:

HA! That's a funny thought. Of course, the way he runs his mouth...he reminds me of B. Cox who I think is hysterical as a coach. I wouldn't count on Joey being as good though...

No, it usually doesn't work that way. The better someone is at something, generally as a rule, the worse they are at coaching it. If you're great at something you don't really understand most of the things you need to teach someone else, a lot of it you do subconsciously or flat out do the wrong things and it works for you. You don't understand how it is to struggle and be forced to fine tune your technique to be successful.

I have learned a lot more in sports from people who I've easily beaten than those that have beat me. Hell, most people that are really good at something guard everything anyway, whereas the people that aren't so great are so much more willing to give away their secrets.

Also Sperm, did you hear Mangini's presser? It's gotten to Herm levels, you might want to take a look at it and give it the Herm treatment. It was really bad.
