We never had anybody who froze to death playing football. You probably had somebody who died from heat stroke playing football.
I was a sports nut. I stayed after school probably three hours every day - from fall, to winter, to spring. I went from football to basketball to track, and it started all over again.

In football, every play, play after play, there's that physicality. Football players only play once a week, so they must really need to rest. That does kind of tell you how physical the sport is. But in hockey, you have the boards. I just couldn't say which is more physical.

I respect his decisions, but football without Messi is not football. It is very hard to imagine football without him.
