that's not what I've heard

[MPL]

I've won quite a few fantasy football championships, thank you very much. 

I also scored, like, 3 touchdowns in my high school football days. And I won 5 super bowls with the bills in Madden 2001 franchise mode, so I know a thing or two. 

[BBFL]

Senior VP and COO jobs?

🤔

[BuffaloBill]

Will this get Kyle Orton on the wall?

[Jester]

I literally play the violin (Bachelor's in Music from Hartt) and I hate fantasy football but that doesn't mean I don't know football.  😉

[Sammy Watkins' Rib]

First year high school football official.

[boyst]

what if i did play violin in football and still went on to the nfl?

[Franco_92]

I read the brilliant insights posted on The Stadium Wall! (this statement is only partly sarcastic) 

[WhoTom]

Other than sandlot football at the neighborhood park, I played OT for my grade school team (St. James Hornets), and in junior high I played DT in Midget Football (East Side Eagles).

 

I never coached, but I did play FF for two years in the early 90s and one year I actually did come in second place. 🙂

Then you would be multi-talented.

Only when in Georgia on my golden fiddle

[Punching Bag]

I was assistant in high school football after I no longer could play due to a false diagnosis by doctor.

During games I was in charge of equipment which made me very popular with cheerleaders on rainy days since I was in charge of the rain cloaks players took off.  A number of them asked to borrow them when players on field.

Yes.

[Tommy Callahan]

what. no option for Semi pro empire league?

 

lol

[Bruffalo]

I saw Thurman Thomas at a car dealership once.  I'm basically in the NFL. 

[Heitz]

1 x Super Tecmo Bowl Champion, thank you. 🤷‍♂️

 

I Dominated our league one year in the early 90's thanks to the play "Throw to Jerry on the bottom!".  I will forever feel fortunate that I got to work with such talented athletes back then and that I was able to out think, out coach and out handshake every other exec in our league.  

[Royale with Cheese]

HS and played WR.

 

I have no clue how to watch film inside the trenches so I rely on them for their insight.

 

I watched film as a WR but there's not really much there.  The guy covering you....get away from him.  The only time film was important to me is if I played the slot and we had a toss sweep or jet sweep on my side and either had to take out the DE or linebacker.  

[Phils n Bills]

I used to play college football at South Central Louisiana State University for the  Mud Dogs. Mother was not agreeable to the whole idea of me playing, but I was a natural at my position. Don’t get me wrong, I loved my job as a hydration specialist, but foozball was my true calling.

Just so long as you stayed away from that Vickie Valencourt.

The poll results on coaching experience explains a lot

You should see what she did to my lawn mower 

[TheyCallMeAndy]

I’ve been playing Madden since 2001 and BBMB/TBD since 2005. What does that get me?

How is Madden proficiency not considered here?

 

It’s how Tyreek preps for games… and he’s pretty good

Coached a YMCA football team, was asked not to come back the next year, my team doing coordinated celebrations after we destroyed teams was frowned upon.

I can't do that, but I do believe strongly in time travel.

It's Pole, and I am none.  German, Austrian, Dutch (wooden shoes, wooden head, wouldn't listen).  Although the Austrian bunch was figured out to really be Hungarian since they were born before the borders were redrawn.

[NoGameThisWeek]

I'm a long-time TBD lurker, although I prefer 'legitimate peripheral participant'. I was just thinking about this the other day. This is a great question and should be pinned as it would help me know who I should be listening to. Personally, I ran cross country in high school, but played tackle football after practice without equipment. Fortunately, everyone that played weighed somewhere between 115 and 125 pounds in the day. 

[skibum]

I never played organized football, so I really have no idea how to break down what's going on during a game, and I refrain from criticizing players for what might look like bad football skills. But I was otherwise a pretty dedicated athlete, so I at least feel qualified to gripe about dudes being out of shape.
