    Oh powerlifting, and I wouldn’t be competitive. Just lift whatever I could, and lose the competition, forever. I guess that’s amateur though? Hmm.

    I cannot imagine anyone paying me to play any sport at all.

      This was my first thought. Honourable mentions to golf and darts.

    Ping pong. You might think all the humiliating losses as my reflexes slow down might become hard to take, but if they don’t bother me now, why should it bother me later?

    Rowing or swimming. As long as I’m not trying to be world record level, I won’t be ruining my body. If I’m just training as much as they do, it won’t be much worse than a full time job.

    I would have picked skydiving, but the lead exposure is a little too much for me to want to do it as a 10 jumps a day type of job.

        As the other fellow said, it’s the jet fuel. They still use leaded gas. You can definitely smell the difference between it and normal exhaust fumes.

    Pretty good Matt and Shane secret podcast bit about forcing NFL players to play to death. If I remember right, when they hit 65 they get put on special teams. That maximizes the chance of being obliterated/turned to dust by a stud running into them full speed.

      Yup. I wouldn’t be very good at it, but it’s indoor work with no heavy lifting or cardio, and if it’s my job until I’m 65 that implies that it’ll pay the bills so how good I actually am doesn’t really matter very much
