Kickers aren't exactly football players. McBriar went from kicking to kicking. Not that big of a leap. Gates has played the game, he just prefered basketball. Bolt, more than likely, doesn't know the game.
I should have stopped reading right there. You obviously do not have a clue as to how to play Australian Rules Football.
As for Bolt not knowing the game, that is more than likely true. But neither did Carl Lewis, and the Cowboys still drafted him b/c of his rare speed.
Bolt may not have experience playing football, but he has excelled in other sports, cricket being one. If he wanted (this is key obviously) he has the talent to transcend his inexperience.
Well, I have a neighbor that says he is pretty good at football. What is the harm in the Cowboys checking him out? Lance Armstrong was rated the top athlete once, maybe we should scout him. With his endurance, he could be in on every play, offense and defense..
I will keep that in mind the next time the rules committee discusses using bicycles on kick returns. See, you should have stopped while you were behind, that was a laughable example. Good arguments:
-Loves Jamaica_has turned down other offers (US school scholarships)
-Lacks dedication/too easy going (problem in the past)
-Track is too lucrative
Neither of the above counters what I'm trying to get across, what harm does it do to establish dialogue? Seriously, how does it hurt YOU for the Cowboys to open a line of communication, I mean come on?!?
And before you start throwing out comparisons of NASCAR drivers and jockeys at me, I will concede that the likelihood of Bolt in the NFL is slim to none.
But that sliver of a chance is not enough to keep me from getting extremely bored with this topic. All done.
