Tell you what, Flopnuts and I live near each other.
If CP raises enough money and donate it to charity, I will chessbox him for this website's entertainment. |

There is some straight dumbasses playing in the NFL, so I dont know if it would be considered a "smart guy's" game. Honestly if we are talking about needing straight knowledge of the game and one that is constantly working your mind/psyche its definitely golf. That shit is so much harder than people seem to think, and even though John Daly wasn't exactly one of the brightest minds you'd ever come across, almost all the professional golfers look like they could fill out one hell of an income statement. And soccer can suck it.

It depends on how far you want to delve into the game as a fan.
Donger has claimed on this forum to not know how a guard functions in an offensive line. He pleads complete ignorance on the topic, and has said he doesn't and will never bother with learning the game to a slightly reasonable benchmark that should be understood as a fan of the game. But nonetheless, he still gets by; he is able to watch a Chiefs game and have fun. I think certain sports like basketball are easier to have a Donger-like level of knowledge yet still understand what's happening. You don't need to be able to spot a pick-and-roll to enjoy a basketball game. It's full of exciting moments and is fast-moving enough. Baseball can be just as "dumb" as basketball in that the basic rules of the game are almost ingrained into our DNA. But if you want to get really deep, it's almost got the most potential for being a smart guy sport than anything else. |

You each play a timed round on the chessboard, then you play a timed round in the ring. Rinse and repeat, until there's either a checkmate or a (T)KO. |

I'll give the nod to football, but with a qualifier...
Baseball is a lot harder to learn/teach. Players have to know where to go with the ball, have awareness, and make split second decisions that show they know the situation. With football, unless you are the QB, you have a pretty scripted something to do on offense, and on defense maybe have 2 or 3 things to think about. In baseball, you can have any combination of outs/baserunners/strikes/balls/score, and when that ball comes off the bat it can literally go anywhere. Football gets the nod at top levels because the plays, designs, coverages, etc are so much more complex and game-deciding. But in baseball if you are a dumbass you will be exposed constantly. |

Wow. No, I had never heard of it. We need to get on this regardless. ChessMMA would take off fairly quickly as well IMO. |

Every sport is a smart mans sport. If you add some intelligence in with talent you have a hell of a player.

How about this:
Baseball is harder to learn how to play. Football is harder to learn how to deeply understand. |
