Mad Skills
« on: November 20, 2013, 11:36:01 AM »
There has been some stupid debate lately as to whether or not Jimmy Johnson is an athlete.
Mad skills and six championships with 43 other talented guys chompin at you says yes he is.

The question of the day is . . . is this guy an athlete?

Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

I say no he is not an athlete but he does have skills.
The speed that you wish to achieve is only limited by the depth of your wallet.

Looks like athletics from my perspective.  Coordinated use of multiple muscle groups.  Balance.  Strength.  Endurance.  A baseball player is an athlete and this guy is more athletic than a lot of them.
