Interesting take. Being overweight would bother me.

RE: Poker player, being a LIVE pro, which is basically extinct would be pretty horrible. In order to profit in the slow paced live poker you would have to sit at the table for a ton of time before the long run profits would work out. Multitabling online and then playing a little live on the side would be much better.

Horse Racing, not as a jockey though. I'd like to be the one doing the running. But not as a horse (they don't live very long and their career is short). I'd want to race as me. I'd have to carry the jockey around on my shoulders I suppose. That SOB better not hit me with his whip though.

Whhhhhhinnnny!

To piggy back off that idea, I would like to win the Westminster (or whatever its called) Dog Show. Id let the judges look at my teeth and up my you know what, and then I would trot around for a treat.

Sumotori, at least many of the greats, are no more overweight than your average NFL lineman; some smaller guys are built like fullbacks, linebackers or even running backs. All are in very good condition.

Google images of these guys:

Asashoryu
Wakanohana
Kyokudozan
Mainoumi
Terao
Ama


And the greatest of the past century, Chiyonofuji.

He was about 5-10, and his weight went from about 245 at the beginning of his prime years to about 270 towards the end of his career. One of the fiercest, most dominant, willful, intimidating athletes in any sport.

Being very competitive, I'd want to dominate in any sport (as others have indicated) I play in. So I guess it simply comes down to which one you enjoy the most. Right now, I'd definitely take golf - The money is great these days, and the endorsements are even better.... and you get to play professionally for a much longer span of time. Yea, there's a Champions tour in Tennis, but its not as big as the Sr. PGA.

And growing up playing volleyball, my 2nd would be the AVP Tour. Money sucks, but you can't beat the 'office environment'.

I wish to be dominated by Professional Women Beach Volleyball Players.

Probably either golf, or my childhood dream a Dallas cheerleader.

I'm too small for football to short for b-ball, can't hit 99MPH balls, and my forehand sucks (2h backhand is bloody brilliant though, lol!), so golf it is.

Not my favorite sport and I don't watch it on tv but it would have to be GOLF.You get alot of money if you place high and you play in which ever tournaments you want so you're not locked into a schedule.After that it would be a linebacker(NFL) and a MLB closer.One or 2 innings and you get more respect then most of the guys on your team and a nice fat check!!!
