.. is really good athletically. I pick up sports really quickly and have always been good at any sport I chose to play. Hell, at 35.. overweight... white (lol) I can still whoop ass on the basketball court and never called last. :)

Nope, That has always been a really bad sterotype. As someone that has worked in IT for over 20 years I would say nerds are no less likely to be good at sports than anyone else. My basketball team is currently the top ranked division 2 team and it consistents entirely or programmers and sys admins, while not quite as successful my indoor cricket and volleyball teams are the same.

That depends though, superchunk could be so good athl;etically that if he wanted he could compete at high amature or professional levels of said sports. I am good at nearly all sports I play but unlike him, I was nearly always picked last because of what people thought I might be like (being short), played for 6 different teams at school and was best at Badminton in entire school.
