I certainly agree that throwing a football (or a soccer ball) 100 yards wouldn't be the easiest, but certainly after practicing I'd be able to do it regularly without hurting myself :-) A baseball is a different story though, I'm certain I can throw a baseball 100yards. Nolan Ryan could throw that distance without even trying I'm sure. Hmmmm, I can throw a soccer ball the distance of my kid's soccer field pretty easily (goal to goal), it's not a full size soccer field though, it's a junior field.... What's that 75 yards? Or is it only 50 yards? 7 - 8 year olds play on this field.... Oh well, just one of those stupid, useless things to ponder throughout the day :-) Michael P.

I dunno, I'm sure that I could throw a baseball, football, heck prolly even a soccor ball 100yards. I'll bet that I can throw my cell phone 100yards too, it's a motorolla i730 and has a pretty good weight to it. It's gutta be harder than I think.... It just has to be....
I think you would be extremely surprised by how difficult it is to get a football to go 100 yards. A baseball, even, isn't the easiest to get 100 yards. However, I agree, this doesn't seem like that great of a throw - but what is this guy's athletic background? Nolan Ryan he ain't, I'm sure.... _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
