While watching a popular sport last weekend I noticed some of the commentary when referring to certain players involved phrases such as “so well built and strong”, “incredibly fit and solid”, “great build”. Ok, sure they do a great job, but they’re fat. No two ways around it, they’re fat. He can block really effectively because he’s massive, and has a way with width! —Thank You

And what about voluptuous? Rubenesque?

was the spot you were watching football becase if it was then they really are pretty buff and a commenting about them being that way is pretty normal…,,, am i right or not,,, ?
I used to laugh when people told me “…but you have such a pretty face”
If I could’ve I would’ve dropped kicked them to the head.
Those guys are like 6’6…give em a break.
I love the way football players fill out their uniforms.
moreover, they have to stop the OTHER guys who are 6’6″ and 350 lbs.
You’d have to be Ronnie Coleman to stand a chance against the other fat dudes.
I know what you mean OP. Sumo wrestling seems to be getting a bad rap these days.
I wonder if the OB would have the guts to say it to their faces.
fat. so what. no ones perfect you know. except me.
I’m with Bro Tim on this one. Do you really think these robust people should simply be called fat? “Oh look at #12, wow is he fat or what?”
Besides, it’s part of the job requirement and they are paid well to put their bodies at risk in more ways than one.
They may be fat, but they can probably outrun you, OB.
Those fuckers are in GREAT shape. So what if they’ve got some bulk?
Some of those guys jiggle more than I do. Staley cried when he was made offense. I’d cry too, that’s for sure! No matter how nimble, all that weight just can’t be good …
If you’re talking about the Super Bowl, you must mean the line players such as centres or tackles. Having bulk is a necessity for the position they play. Even so they are still quite athletic. I can’t imagine trying to block 250-300 lb football players 50-60 times in three hours.
maybe you jelly cuz you a skinny little nerd that can’t gain any mass on your wirely little-boys frame? BOO YAH
