Now. if she can also make sausage gravy you've truly hit the trifecta of life! To clarify, my wife isn't "better" at golf than me (I and I alone determine and establish all definitions of the term "better" in regards to golf). However, she does have TWO hole in ones and I have, well, somewhere around a couple less than that....... Consequently, I have established an ongoing moratorium on hole in ones stating that any that she might make from this point forward DO NOT COUNT until I make one! Seems fair enough.

fshndoug Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Champ you know nothing about soccer.You don't see those athletes coming off the field because they are tired.In basketball they only have to run 90 feet then pass the ball around for 25 seconds.you just don't understand the game,those guys are amazing in their agility. 8pounder 1
m&m Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 fshndoug, Champ is not a soccer guy. He has made those comments before and for those of us who love the game of soccer, well we just let it go. When the average soccer player runs 7 miles during a game, most people would consider that player an athlete. I played and then coached for years. Some love the game and some don’t. It’s all good.

Mike Run cross country or marathons then (although maybe just as dumm) and leave the stupid looking ball out of it. God gave 'em two good hands - USE 'EM! Commies.......

abkeenan Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 It's all in good humor. I'm sure that Champ can have an appreciation for what elite soccer players can do on the field. Guys like Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suarez, etc are incredible talents. It's just that in the United States soccer takes a back seat to the 3 major sports (MLB, NBA, NFL) and the best athletes we Americans have to offer flood to those sports. Soccer is an after thought, which is why MLS is where past their prime players (Thierry Henry, Beckham, Gerrard, etc.) go to die (retire). Would be really interesting to see how American soccer teams would fare against World teams if our best athletes played soccer. So the Mike Trouts, LeBron James, Russell Westbrooks, Adrian Petersons, Kobe Bryants, Ray Lewis' ,Michael Jordans, Bo Jacksons, Barry Sanders, etc....if they were to play soccer instead of their respective sports....would we crush the Europeans and South Americans at their own game? We'll never find out but I suspect we would dominate. Champ188 1
