[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1036606, member: 7261"] There is where you and I differ, I really don't view a football player the same as a boxer. "The numbers on how much live action takes place during an NFL game varies, but it is generally between 15 and 20 minutes, with 18 viewed as the average. Those 18 minutes are reasonably loaded with action, seeing well over 100 plays in total." So for 18 minutes a game, players are "in action". Divide that by 2, since there are no 2 way players anymore and that is an average of 9 minutes of game time a starter and 50 plays (if in on every play), that an NFL potentially plays each game. Injuries? Yup, those are there for sure. Grueling season? Grueling off-season and pre-season practices? Not in my mind. I think players, coaches, media, etc. would like everyone to think that playing in the NFL is a "long and grueling" job, but for what they are paid, sign me up. :) [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.profootballnetwork.com/how-long-is-a-football-game-breaking-down-the-time-between-the-first-and-last-whistle/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
