    A punter or kicker in the NFL?

    That is actually a totally different way. No sport requires very much intelligence at all. Something like women's gymnastics might have participants with the lowest intelligence level, simply because 16-year-olds tend to be less intelligent than 26-year-olds who dominate other sports. . .

    judging by today's society, i would have to say... sex is the sport which requires the least intelligence.

    I don't know Lee, I'm guessing a surprising percentage of players in certain sports would struggle keeping score in bowling. Those strikes and spares can get confusing at times.

    To listen to Mickey Rivers speak and he was the only one you listened to, you would have to say baseball.

    I have to think Boxing would be up there, punch the other guy and don't get hit back.

    NFL by a long shot. Who else would line up 100 times a game and smash into each other?

    I agree with the Great Cornholio.......Track requires the least intelligence. You just run! They even give you hints......start at a line, run to a line, stay in between two lines!

    The sport with participants that have the least amount of intelligence has to be Heavyweight Boxing. This has nothing to do with getting hit repeatedly in the head over and over and over again. I'm talking money! They fight once a year for millions and millions of dollars and then spend the rest of the year challenging everyone else. If they were smart, they would stop all the talking and fight about five times a year and make five times the money!!!

    College football players come in a close second. They get full ride scholarships to college, play a game and then complain, because they aren't getting a chunk of the money that college football brings in. I guess they forgot the part when they signed their name that they are getting a free education when everyone else is paying thousands and thousands of dollars for it.

    No, they aren't getting a 'free' education. They're playing football in exchange for an education. And while this is probably a fair exchange for some players, I can guarantee you that certain guys-- like Tebow, or McFadden-- are worth far, far more to their university than the price of the tuition waiver.

    Spoken like a true college football fan boopotts! You're like a lot of people. You lose sight of what a scholarship really is. You're the type of person that would probably like to see some sort of salary program implemented for them too. Once they get that, they'll want vehicles to drive. Then they'll decide they shouldn't have to go to classes, because they are at the school to play football. You'll agree with all of that!

    One more thing......when I said free, I'm talking money! They may accept the honor of a scholarship to play football, but they pay no money out of their own pocket to get their education.

    You could say the same about Clinton Portis and football.
