Except for golf or gymnastics? What?

I’m listening to the podcast and it doesn’t support your point.

No one ever said anyone can become a golf star. You need some talent.

All the practice in the world won't make me 6' 4" tall & 240 lbs

More irrational Bronco love. You people are obsessed.

That’s Pretty rude, Backcountry. Guess I’m off your Christmas List.
