I've seen at least one documentary showing the level of fitness where sumo wrestlers are at.<br /><br />As for rugby players... last year the 49ers had a famous rugby guy on their roster.

On a somewhat slight tangent, there was a tv show that showed a US football player going to practice sumo and he got his butt kicked. Not that he couldn't do it, but the flexibility of the sumo wrestlers, the ability to work the center of gravity of their bodies, and the speed were different than what American football players practice. Likewise, I am sure sumo wrestlers would have a hard time in American football at the beginning.

Thanks again. I should be getting the package in a week or so so will get your card out as soon as I can. I'm waiting for a few more auctions to arrive at Buyee before I consolidate and ship over here.SumoMenkoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461389544030702085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518701523327984819.post-33699629180643846092017-01-04T23:05:47.962-08:002017-01-04T23:05:47.962-08:00I knew a rugby player who would show off by wrappi...I knew a rugby player who would show off by wrapping a belt around a volleyball, then sliding the belt off of the volleyball and onto his leg to show that they were the same size. He also liked to show off the scars on his head from opposing players' cleats. He was pretty crazy.<br /><br />Autographs are so commonplace today that it's weird to think of a collection that just contains two of them. I've probably got 25 autographs just on my desk right now.<br /><br />I appreciate the trade package. Sorry my return on the trade was kind of uninspired. I'm glad you were able to turn it into something cool.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.com
