Dude, don't write checks with your mouth that your butt can't cash. Three words: Joe Theisman's Leg.
But, for our brethren across the pond who's bits and pieces may not shrink up at those words because they didn't see it on tv, let's match up:
Simeon Rice, Defensive End for the Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers is 29 years old, 6'5" tall and tips the scales at 270 pounds (with virtually no body fat). In his preseason workouts, he is benching 275 in four sets. He runs the 40 yard dash in just under 5 seconds.
David Beckham, Middleman and Captain of Manchester United, is 180 cm tall and weighs 71 kg dripping wet. Stats are hard to find for these gentelmen athletes, but sure he's speedy and shows great finesse in ball handling.
Sure Beckham is married to a Spice Girl, but you can skip the physics on calculating the force per square inch when Rice takes down a quarterback. It's a punishing blow.
