911's athletic equivalent

Id say it would be this guy. Short, muscular, great lines, very quick and agile, maybe not the fastest off the line but possesses great break-away speed... handles like he is on rails, great vision... flashy and stylish but also very workmanlike and reliable....durable and dependable...but also a bit quirky and unpredictable...

Good equivalent. Problem is, Barry left The Lions high and dry, and unless one has a 911 that just up and quits, your analogy loses a little magnitude.

I liken the 911 to good backs, though. Ricky Henderson would definitely be a GT3. Fast, cuts, and will knock you down, hard.

lol...yeah its been a slow morning.

dd74, Barry retiring so abruptly was like a pulled head stud.

Now, now Blue - don't drop down to our level...

P.S.: admit it; you're really a closet Canadian Football League fan.

Absolutely. Who was the back that played for Minnesota about three or four years back, and simply "quit" to go on to become a doctor? He was pre-med in college. h

It goes to show there is intelligence within the league, despite what some think.

robert smith. former osu buckeye running back. 2nd in looniness to the most current/former loony running back maurice clarett. must be something in the water here in northeast ohio.

...and closest athlete to 911? lacrosse player for sure.

Is Canadian Football like soccer or "American" football?

I honestly don't know.

Having played soccer in my mis-spent youth I could probably stand to watch it.

Blue - Canadian football, as far as I know, uses a moving offensive line and a 110-yard field. There are some other rules variations between that and American football, but I'm not sure what they are.

American football has a motionless offensive line with the exception of one man in motion, and uses a 100-yard field.

I'll teach you and Thom this if you guys want to go to a game sometime. I like Raiders games myself. Sometimes manslaughter occurs in the stands. Um Um

Is it like rugby, then? THOSE guys are athletes...
