As I was browsing around for articles on tonights Bengals/Ravens game I ran across this article and this quote.

"I mean, this isn't a soft sport. We don't play chess. This isn't swimming. This isn't one of those kind of sports. It's football. It takes a man to play this game, and to play this game you have to have passion.''
I had to laugh.
Yes, pretty much every team in America has 1 mile time rules, football and basketball. I just like to give tris a good ribbing, they are generally very good athletes and teammates.
I agree that football players have speed and strength. No question. At least the ones that don't fit Peter's prior description. I'm just not sure their cardiovascular systems can compete with swimmers generally. But football is definitley a sport. But if they're running timed miles, then I definitely know many swimmers who can keep up or blow by them. :applaud:
