What is the easiest job in sports?

Heard this on a Detroit sports radio show today.

They were saying PGA tour or MLB starting pitcher, punter or kicker would be easy.

GM of the Detroit Lions. Fuck up all you want and never get fired.

How about a first base coach? All he does is tell the runner how many outs there are in case he can't see one of the six scoreboards in that stadium.

LOL. Millen is a true magician. Marty gets fired for going what 14-2 and Millen stays for years when he does the opposite.

Peyton Manning's back up. Never play and if he ever goes down the season is over anyway, so no pressure.

For guys that could actually play, punter (less pressure than kickers), back up catcher, 12th man on NBA team (probably the easiest, never play unless the game is out of reach so your play doesn't even matter), back up soccer goalie.

Non-playing jobs - baseball bench coach like Don Zimmer was.

David Beckham...so what if he runs around for 90 minutes once or twice a week...he gets more than 50 million a year to do it. Thats as easy as it gets.

This is easy. NFL Longsnapper. These guys show up at practice for like an hour, throw a few balls between their legs, and they are done. No conditioning necessary. And they only play a few plays each game. I played college football and envied those bastards when I was killing my self in inside drill, and they were sipping water and tossing balls around.

They obviously don't know shit about the PGA Tour. If they think it's easy to make money on the PGA Tour then maybe they should try it and see how they do.

But when you talk easy, it sucks for some of those guys to get up in the morning and do what they do for not much cash (although more than most of us make annually).

Good one. I use to always say that. Forgot about it.

Those guys get crushed as soon as they snap the ball and almost all of them end up with really bad back problems. Not saying it is the same as an OL, DL or LB, but they do take a beating. a friend of a friend long snapped at Auburn (they don't even get hit in college, unlike the NFL) and he had back surgery when he was 21. No thanks.

I still think punting is easier.

 

[fhmesq44]

how about the down marker guy or the guy that pulls the nets up behind the goal posts before an XP or FG.

 

[neverbeanother#7]

Grant Hill. Who's had it easier then that guy? He should be arrested for theft.

 

[gynecologist]

NFL Punter

 

[buddyboy]

easiest job in sports is TALK SHOW HOST

 

[gamerecognizegame]

mlb reliever. thats the life. chew tobacco and shoot the shit all day and come in for one inning and give them what you got

 

[Trapstar]

3rd string NFL QB. Only getting in the game if first 2 QB's get hurt.

 

[RoofTop]

I would think its the guy that holds the pole with emblem that gets the Nascar drivers to stop in the pit.
