Let me get this out of the way. I have never played a second of NFL football and I played about five snaps of college football. Most of us are not 6’5” 245-pound freak athletes like Cam Newton – though most NFL players do not even fit that mold. We are not the ones putting on shoulder pads and running out of the tunnel to thousands of screaming fans. Nor are we exposing our bodies and brains to the rigors of this collision sport. While some of us may still dream for times like this, we are simply spectators of a violent and entertaining competition.
