Last year we sent division three players and lost by three touchdowns to Japan's under 20 team

 

Do they play like Billy Sims?

Was that seriously in the Olympics? 

Actual Olympic breakdancing.

Had it existed then, I can imagine Joe Thomas winning ever year.....as every QB he ever played with racked up countless sacks and hits.

I cant imagine he'd be that great, with his noodle arm at this age. But it is Brady after all

Larry Bird with a busted up back in his mid 30's was able to beat up on Angola in 1992 I think Brady feels that even at 51 with no contact for the QB he can beat up on a bunch of guys who play flag football in Germany.

For anyone thinking this is a walkover, I suspect this could possibly be Cool Runnings 2.0.  The entire island of Jamaica has a lot of very fast people.

 

If I look at world track, 60 meter top 10 leaders this year, USA has 3, Jamaica has 3, some very fast athletes in Australia as well.  I imagine some rugby union players will be a handful, Christian Wade would be tailor made for this type of contest.

 

I agree that Lamar with his sheer speed would be the QB.  I think everyone on the USA roster will have 4.40 or better speed.

Hill - Phish

Worthy - Chiefs

Breece Hall - Jets

Metcalf - Seahawks

Waddle - Bungles

McLaurin - Commanders

 

suspect with the speed on offense the d will be heavily seasoned with CB's who can stay close and have long arms.
