Article:Sports show talk hosts A Big Whatever.

This afternoon I was subject to listen to a sports talk show here in Los Angeles and after listening to an individual who was a former NBA player, I couldn't turn the knob off fast enough. Mikael Thompson either is a total and complete fool or he is always talking out of his rearend. I listened to him talk about any tall person could play basketball in the NBA and score or even in the NCAA and score.He even said that a track star with his speed could be a hit in the NFL. The new Olympics 100 winner he said would be a winner in the NFL. I tried twice to get into the show but was cut off both times. He may have been a fair NBA player but it is very easy to see he knows absolutely nothing about the NFL or any other sports that he  didn't play or watched play according to him. Blanket statements about these track heros could do this in the NFL are so out of place and wrong that it just got to me and under my skin. There is only one former world record holder that I know of that ever made it big in the NFL and that was Bob Hayes and he played football at Florida for 4 years and knew the game. I don't know if his station can be heard outside the California area but there has to be fans of any sports that are completely put off by his remarks. The next thing out of his mouth will be something of the effect that younger is better and he is always saying he will compete with nonprofessionals but I know someone twice his age that will beat him at his own game and another who is three times his age who could beat him to the ground at his skill level. One  a older Avery Bryant, a high school and junior high coach in southern california who could shoot circles around him on the basketball court and myself who would do even more at shooting targets from long range. aka sniper practice....
