2. Are football players the best athletes?
Jones: No. We're not necessarily the best athletes. We're the toughest athletes, the most brutal and violent athletes. But when you get into technique and all that stuff, I'd say golfers are the best athletes.
Really? A tough guy like you says golfers?
Jones: For all the things that you have to do to complete a good golf shot, there's no other sport like that. In my game, at 70 percent, I can have one hell of a year. In golf, it's got to be 100 percent. It can't even be 99. At 99 percent in football, I'd be the best there ever was in the history of the game. But in golf, 99 percent might mean you hit a bad shot
