Colon's job was to throw a ball precisely from a more or less fixed position. That doesn't necessarily require a traditionally athletic physique, but it's still athleticism. I'd say it is a bit like darts or pool, but at least there is some expectation that you can also field a ball that comes back to you.
I always thought it was funny that people try to make the argument that pro golfers having to walk the course makes it more athletic. Walking four miles or so over four hours isn't exactly a major physical achievement. :)
That’s like saying golfers are athletes because they walk. Snooker or Darts are insane for how good the top players are
come on we aren’t calling 5’11” 285# athletic are we? Sure the star of the Karachi Monarchs needs props, but athletic?
They’re at least as athletic as Tony Stewart.
You may not like it, but this is the ideal male athlete form.Quote:

If you don't somehow get to Big JD in any given thread, were the posts that led you to that point of any use?
I would say that Colon was athletically talented, playing a sport and position that did not require him to possess a well conditioned body.
Come on now, post him in his real uniform: Hooters branded zubaz.

For the true athlete "ski off" let's see a drinking contest between Daly and Colon. I don't know that Bartolo is a drinking man, but he sure has the body for it.
Pretty sure cricket wins here, Shane Warne drank an airplane out of beer.Quote:

so, musicians are athletes now too?
Went to grocery store last night. See a nice Beamer leaving from the space next to mine. When I get to my car, the fucking cunt left their cart right behind my car. Who the fuck does that? Cart rack was right on the other side of my car too. I was annoyed.
This Bartolo talk is slanderous. He was an absolute flame thrower coming up. if you can touch triple digits out of a pitching motion, you are an uber-athlete. that is fact. easy to knock pitching cause they stand up there and slang that thang and don't do much else but the slangin of the thang is the culmination of some serious body control, balance, explosiveness, flexibility, and fast twitch muscle fiber. just cause yer a big boy doesn't mean you aren't an athlete.
if a road has a cliff wall and no shoulder on one side and a bike lane and sidewalk on the other, you better be jogging up the fucking sidewalk, specially around a blind curve. i don't care if you have an ironman unitard and cool sunglasses, i am going to blare my horn and yell at you to go fuck yourself as i swerve around you every damn time. happens with the same fucking cunt at least once a week.
I find my windshield to need a good cleaning when I pass folks who do stupid shit like that.Quote:

There’s obviously huge differences in the size of the talent pools that different sports are pulling from, so something like soccer you’ll probably end up with extremely good athletes at the top, whereas fencing? Probably not, even if it has the attributes of a sport.Quote:

I worked with a guy who regularly beat Scott Speed before Speed got a drive in F1. This guy couldn’t get a drive in anything anymore because he couldn’t get money together. And there’s no way he could have gotten a ride in F1 no matter how good he was because he came across as a Floridian yokel, which does not fit with the image of F1 (or more importantly, the sponsors).
Guy I work with who lives in India has his family home near a mosque. He's Christian. We sometimes hear a call to prayer when he's in one of our meetings. Downside of working from a somewhat rural home in India I guess. At least he's not trying to sleep at that hour. He works US prime shift.Quote:

This is the crux. Want to sleep. Still some hours until dawn.Quote:

Other than sharing the road with this idiot, was also amusing
I'm always impressed that when dolt drivers like that are met with some sort of resistance from an object, their first response is to press the throttle harder as if that will fix the issue.
Is that Corey Feldman in the first pic?
Whoever it is, he looks very pleased with his handiwork.

At 42 years old!
He played for 21 seasons, won the Cy Young and his nickname is “Big Sexy”!
An athlete in my book!
