As a guy who played football basically all my life growing up it’s always funny to hear guys talk about their 40 times. You figure out pretty quick which guys played and which guys never played a down in their life or are just lying through their teeth. Same with high school velo when talking about pitching in baseball or somebody’s golf score. I’m a high school football coach now too and our fastest player hand held was 4.53 ( and this kid can really really run)and the next fastest was in the 4.7s. One of the absolute fastest human beings I’ve ever had the actual probe late of playing sports with ran a 4.6 went to southern Arkansas university and set a bunch of receiving records for them. If a guy on the street or Facebook says he ran anything less than a 4.6 I laugh because if he did he would’ve went and played somewhere. Same with all the guys who could hit 90 in high school. The Beasley kid from Horacio that was we gonna go to Arkansas but signed with the brewers instead was consistently mid80s and could touch 88 89 and had a pretty good curve. If your throwing above 86 in high school you are 100% getting an offer to at least play college ball if not professionally. But if you’ve never played either sport you hear certain numbers and just assume their normal so guys casually throw shite out there like “yeah I touched 88 a couple times” or “summer between junior and senior year I ran 4.43” im just nodding my Ahead “oh really that’s interesting” in reality I’m thinking no you didn’t

Sorry for the book just Facebook 40 times trigger me and I needed a place to vent

My favorite is the equation people try and use when I kid is throwing from 45 ft in little league...saying it's like throwing 90 from 60 ft, then assuming that will certainly happen when they get older.

Or those baseballs that had a built-in radar

The glory days guys are the worst.

If they were that good you would hear from someone else other than them.

I worked with a guy down here in Southeast Arkansas who was a great athlete.I knew that because I heard it from a lot of people,none of them was him.

If a guy is ringing his own bell,then he probably sucked.
