    Loved his cricket rules. I have watched them play cricket here and it makes no sense. Except that it's totally cool for the pitcher to bean the batter.

      Have you ever seen a monkey examining a watch?

        ...and the only time you see a pitcher in cricket is when it's filled with beer.

          Theirs a reason most countries don't play football...

          A) They don't have the temperment.
          B) They don't have the money. It costs about $700 to outfit one high school football player.

                          Depends on the event. I doubt NFL would do very well at middle or long distance running - too big. Some would be awesome sprinters. The shooting events would be pwned by some of the NFL guys. Soccer players would undoubtedly do well at the women's gymnastics.

                          I was only joking

                              There was once an effort, probably for a TV show, to pit pro athletes from major sports against each other in feats of general athleticism. On average, hockey players did the best. But I don’t remember the details.

                              Education is extremely important.

                                  OK, how about we strand them all on a desert island without any assistance, and see who survives the longest?

                                  Let's be honest, it would be a lot more interesting than either sport.

                                      Centurions would kick their asses.

                                      OK, how about we get a ton of sports people, and put them in this big arena, and they're allowed one weapon, but some of the weapons are booby-trapped and blow up unexpectedly, and then they have to run around in the woods, and there's genetically engineered wasps and shit, and then a couple of them would get amorous, which quite frankly is likely to be a bit disgusting with NFL and soccer players, and eventually one would make it all the way through and she'd shoot Donald Trump with a crossbow right in the middle of his SOTU address of his second term?

                                      That would be fucking great!
