A note on the Amazon ads: I've chosen to display current events titles in the Amazon box. Unfortunately, Amazon appears to promote a disproportionate number of angry-left books. I have no power over it at this time. Rest assured, I'm still a conservative.
Sunday, December 12, 2004 Someone explain this to me: I'm watching ESPN's Sunday Night Football game and they have that "Pass Track" video/graphic. It shows that a pass thrown by Donovan McNabb (which was intercepted) was travelling at 60 mph. Analyst Joe Theisman then says that 60 mph football toss is equivalent to a 101 mph baseball pitch.
I don't get it. Is he saying that the passer's arm strength is equivalent to Randy Johnson throwing a 101 mph fastball? If anyone could enlighten me I'd appreciate it.

If McNabb can throw it 60 mph, how fast can Favre heave it?
You need to factor air resistance in as well. A football is significantly bigger than a baseball. Also a football is not a sphere and tumbles easily and the baseball has the stitching, etc.
