Host,
Thank you for sharing your background with us in such detail. It's nice to "get to know the man behind the posts" a bit.
I will try and answer your question (op) when I have a bit more time. I would like to give it more attention and detail. By the way, I really like the way you framed this thread as a spin-off of the context of the 6-questions thread.
I actually think football players are underpaid. The Bears running back woes start with the offensive line. Cedric Benson and Adrian Peterson would probably do better if the O-line offered better protection and opened up lanes better. Rex Grossman's struggles are also related to poor O-line protection. Football players have to possess some measure of intelligence as it is a very cerebral game requiring mental and physical discipline. The play books alone are hundreds of pages of memorizations. When I used to play, I often struggled and missed a few assignments myself.
