If you were going to play a sport...

what sport would you play, and what position would you play? Hey, you have to remember I've got nothing else to do. I'm unemployed. Or am I employed? I'll never reveal the true answer to that question!!

    I would play football and I would be a defensive lineman. I love the pass rush, I love disruption of an offense, I love it!

    Just look at Reggie White creating havoc. I love it!!

    As an adult now, I would say golf. By far the lowest risk of injury. However, if it had existed when I was 13 or 14 and you asked me then, I would have said MMA.

    This is simply incredible. He must have had super human strength.

    i'm pretty sure that was Cris Carter who went flying into Warren Moon like a rag doll

    let's hope the Vikes never tried that again

    @AFLfan, Yes, Reggie was a beast! I am just amazed every time I see it. He just throws that guy like he's nothing!

    My second choice would be line backer. Just look at Lawrence Taylor get after the quarterback. A nightmare.

    I would have answered centerfield for the Yankees but as an older wiser man, I’d like to be an iron man HOF QB’s backup. Drafted a year later, play 10 years and retire having never played a down.

    That’s the dream.

    Not interested in the safest sport or the most lucrative.

    FUN!

    Hockey. By far the most fun for me. Unfortunately, I was not a great skater (or even a good one). In my fantasy, I would be a defenseman who could body check with the best of them and have a cannon like slap shot.

    I was pretty good at football, and enjoyed that too.

    Baseball, kind of boring and I was simply horrible at basketball.

    I loved running the football so I’d say that would be my favorite but if I was given an opportunity to play a sport and be good at it and let the chips fall as they may I’d say Baseball. You get Stupid big time guaranteed money and can have a shitty work ethic and all will be good. But of course being the next Tom Brady would be awesome and I promise I wouldn’t turn into a weirdo either 😂👍👍

    I'd definitely go with football and probably Nose Tackle. Fun to disrupt everything in the middle.

    I would want to be a starting pitcher. no one can control a playoff game like a bulldog starting pitcher

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
