I'm guessing they don't serve beer.Quote:

I'll tell you how guy, they were athletes, that's how.
whole damned world’s gone fuckin’ soft…

I kinda feel like if another athlete can show up and win at your sport it’s maybe not a real sport. Like Mookie Betts wins PBA tournaments as a hobby.Quote:

Bowling’s like Darts or Billiards it takes real skill but it’s not athleticQuote:

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?
