RE: Finn Takes Gold at Mobe Throwing Contest

[Blanchard_Michael () emc com]

 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  :-)

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....
