    Being a professional hobo would suck. I heard the pay sucks and the transportation is limited to trains.

    Definitely football. I thought is was the least fun of the 3 major sports. Basketball is my favorite so i would play that, and baseball is so relaxed and slow-paced, it would be easy.

    Either a pro basketball from China.

    You have the idiots all over your mom, and all over you in your garage.


    Also a football player. I don't want these never weres and never beens riding my nuts so damn hard, no matter how good it felt. I'm no friend of theirs. I'm no kin of theirs.

    I rather discover a cure for cancer and aids than play a damn sport. You know, help the paralyze walk, the blind see, the deaf hear, that kind of thing.

    Wait, I can still go to pick up games and be a street ball legend like Rafer Alston...

    Trust me, Chicks dig living. Most of them. Okay, some.

    Football, easily. It's the most likely major sport to ruin your health, the lowest-paid, and no guaranteed contracts. Half of NFL players make the NFL minimum (<$200K) and the average career is three years. There is no way that I'd sell my health for the rest of my life for $500K. I've met too many former NFL players who were selling insurance or cars, living decidedly middle-class lifestyles, and had to live with knee pain or back pain all their lives.

    Two guys I know from high school, Davey Arnaud and Lance Watson, both play for the Kansas City Wizards. I believe they make around $35,000. While that's nothing to write home about, it's better than the minor leagues in other sports.

    Since its in the Olympics I guess its a sport but I wouldn't want to be a pro-ballroom dancer. I just don't look good with glitter on.

    Heck, I'd do any of it and get paid. If you're good enough to be a pro, you're more than just good at the game you're playing, you love it too. But if I had to pick one, it would probably be Rugby or Aussie Rules Football. Some of those guys are straight up vicious and hurt people for fun, and aside from a cup and/or a leather headpiece, there really isn't any padding. You can easily get killed or maimed for life on a whim.

    Boy are you wrong. A professional boxer's job is to NOT get hit in the head and to hit the other guy. It's risky, true, but there are many other sports that are riskier, such as Football and Hockey.Here's some basic info on it.
