rich eisen is not very fast


this link and clip is amusing on a lot of different levels, but i think the take home point is this. nfl caliber athletes are freaks.

when they are all collected on the same field, running into and past each other, their athletic prowess is impressive, sure, but i think it is hard to realize just what kind speed, shiftiness and grace these not-natural human beings possess.

rich eisen used to be my favorite sportscenter anchor. i hate that the nfl network paid him more to work for them. i can't get the nfl network.

my guess is, though, he's not what a lay person would consider a terrible athlete. i bet he played ball as a kid, just like me. i bet he made all-stars, just like me. i bet he could still make his way around a rec-league softball field, just like me. and i bet he runs a forty yard dash, just like me.

check out this link and watch the video. watch how fast tebow is. how fast mt. cody is compared to eisen (keep in mind that cody weighed in at the combine at a slim 354). and watch freaking jacoby ford. dear lord.

this thing is just awesome. big props to rich eisen for being self-deprecating enough to have some fun at his own expense.
