What does popularity have to do with skill?

Nothing and I'm pretty sure I addressed that in my post. I didn't say these guys weren't skilled at their profession, but in the same respect you said you'd like to see T.O. or Brian Westbrook put on a pair of skates and be hit by a 240lb guy. These guys are just as skilled, in all likelihood faster than damn near anyone in the NHL, and would probably welcome only having to deal with 240lb guys as opposed to the 200-350lb guys they see every single week ( who also happen to be moving at full speed). Football is a far more violent game than hockey regardless of the fights and hits. No hockey player could put on a football uniform and go do what Brian Westbrook does. PERIOD!
