If all were equal, would Lions play football or run track?

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The question was posed by an editor of mine. With the Olympics around and former Detroit Lions running back Jahvid Best representing St. Lucia in the 100-meter dash this week, this question seemed apt.

If all things were equal -- money, prestige, everything -- would you rather do football or track?

For the answer to this question, I stuck mostly with speed guys or, in the case of Ezekiel Ansah, guys who have at least some background in track. We even asked a couple of Pittsburgh Steelers this question as well in this week's Question of the Week.
