an american football is one of those things that makes everyone who's never done it before throw like a silly ho on the first few tries
Yeah definitely, I’ve tried it before and the mechanics takes some getting used to.

I feel like i'd probably be a top baseball player.

Or some sort of NFL defensive beast, line backer type craic. Like a clay matthews without the shyt hair.

yeah, I have no issues with that. Most Americans look awkward throwing a football. Its weird to get a grasp of it.

but a baseball :scusthov:

Baseballs are surprisingly sorta tough to throw. I know it looks easy, you see Lincecum and it's all hunky dory, then you try and you end up...well you end up looking like Drizzy.

I throw a tight spiral with the pigskin though.

Well Baseball, i've got quick hands, i don't know how good my arm is because i never throw anything, but i'm sure i could throw from 3rd base or something to 1st when required. I'm a big lad so i could be a real power hitter, i'd probably break the home run record tbf, without steroids as well. I think i'd be a great hitter, i've got top top hand eye coordination.

As for NFL, i'm 6'3 with quick feet, i'm also proper hard.

Basketball i'm not sure about, i don't have great hops, i'm white after all.

But still with the quick hands/feet i could probably pull off being a passing/3pt shooting PG.

All in all, it's probably a shame i'm not american, i'd be sitting on a million dolla contract if i was, deffo.

:beli:

On a serious note a baseball is just a ball. Very few men don't look awkward when they throw a ball. Same goes for soccer. Most men can't control a football without looking like clowns. When i lived in the us i was arguably the best high school player in the district. Here i cant even make my uni's Football Mens 3rd team.

pitching is difficult, throwing is easy.
