Equally or even more moronic is anyone who would remotely give a steaming turd to what these "athletes" (More like 'future felons') would have to say. But I bet they all got a degree in communications at whatever prestigious college they attended (i.e. warmed a chair).
In the same respect I wouldn't want to see an athletic competion pitting intellectual and great minds against each other. But I bet Stephen Hawking can throw a way wicked chop-block.
