This had me cracking up...

"So realistically, what could we expect if Allen Iverson was placed under center for the Lions? Obviously, he'd have no knowledge of the offense, terminology, or how to read an NFL defense. These are hindrances. But those same problems don't stop JaMarcus Russell from going out there every week."

That also never stopped AI from pretending to play the team sport of basketball.

He's a pretty good pretender... he pretended all the way to the 3rd leading scorer in the leagues history and brought a dead franchise to the NBA Finals, imagine if he tried?

Culpepper wasn't terribly much better coming off of the street, now was he?

Wilt Chamberlin

Allen Iverson

Elgin Baylor

Lebron James

etc...

sorry meant PPG...

pretty damn good basketball player... played QB, Safety, Special Teams in high school. Many, many people within the sports realm say he could have played football professionally. Not saying this is going to happen obviously but he's an amazing natural athlete.
