yeah .. i always wrestle with the actor vs pro sports arguement ..
still - with sports - you're sitting and watching people do things you like to do .. playing is still more fun BECAUSE we arent all at a pro level .. you get to develop and your team along with you ..
i can appreciate the pros are good atheletes .. but they are also people who train, play under the best conditions , etc .. its 'too good'
