Neither one applies to any football fans I know. I've never met anyone who couldn't throw a football five yards unless it was based on age (very young or old) - and the closest I come to knowing a "has been" is a former college player who plays in an Australian league and coaches high school, but isn't delusional enough to think he should have been in the NFL.

At least baseball you have to do multiple things other than be a fatass and block someone with a set of gear. Baseball you have to be able to catch the ball, throw the baseball, and/or hit the fucking thing going 100 mph.

You should probably choose a sport that you actually watch. The DH on an AL team only has to be able to hit, usually can't field for shit, and most DHs in history run slowly. Generally a team has a couple players who are good in the field, but horrible hitters - Ordonez, Rey. They balance that out with good hitters who aren't very effective in the field - Murphy, Daniel. Pitchers are almost always very poor hitters, and only a few hit 100MPH regularly. In fact, the average is somewhere around 92MPH for fastballs - and keep in mind that's not the only pitch most guys throw.

Yeah I get sick of how OBSESSED people are with football players. Knowing their exact stats, how much they weigh, how tall they are, what they did last week in X game, what they "should" have done that play,

Statheads are far more prominent in the baseball fan population. Go over to the OOTP boards sometime. It's ridiculous. (But a great baseball sim if anyone here likes that kinda thing)
And yeah I know. Too long, didn't read. Blah blah.
