As someone who played both sports, it makes me laugh to see world class athletes that I could beat in half of the skills, knowing I would get destroyed on the other half.

It would have been fun to see foot races in there somewhere.

I watched the Battle of the Network Stars last night - a reboot of the old 70's ABC show.  They had old TV stars representing White House shows (West Wing, Designated Survivor, etc.) against Lawyers (LA Law, Scandal, etc.).  The most versatile athlete of the bunch was 62 year old Corbin Bersen, followed by Josh Malina.  The rest were pretty laughable in their events.

LaMonica Garrett from Designated Survivor won the best bod award by a longshot.  The dude was ripped and was the hero of the tug of war.

Anyhow, the point is that people playing something other than a sport they are good at can look pretty clueless.

OMG our season is doomed!! Our QBs missed the throws into wide-open, not-moving barrels!!!  How are they supposed to complete passes to guys who are, you know, actually moving and being covered by DBs!

Michigan has been having preliminary talks about playing a game in Rome within the next 3-5 years. Some of the early candidates are Rutgers, Syracuse, Norte Dame, and UConn.
