I recall some one once suggesting that an object, such as a football, will not travel past a certain speed no matter how hard it is thrown. Can anyone confirm this?
Yes, I mean an American football.
I don’t want to know how fast a man can throw a football, or the average speed thrown. I was told that physics will not allow the football to travel past a certain speed, no matter how it’s thrown or who throws it. It could be the Hulk for all I know.

Fat Albert asked:


Since he’s afraid of planes after hearing about an football team being killed in a plane crash, and if he heard about a football team being killed in a bus crash, would he gain busaphobia?

How would he travel then? Would he fly his blimp everywhere?
