Physical speed by definition is speed that doesn't stop at the moment of impact. E=MC2 and other such stuff. Some speed runs out of bounds. Other speed runs by you. Physical speed runs through you with a lot of speed. 

So are you meaning power (physical speed) vs agility (run by you speed)?

Eyebrow raising graduated last year.....not sure what physical speed is......but i have LOTS of make believe speed!!!!

Have you folks up on Silsbee looked into possibly getting a little top-speed or even some pure speed?

I think it's about time I put this UT-issued law degree to use.

Ordinarily, in the absence of intended definitions provided within a statute or, as here, a statement, we construe particular words and phrases according to their plain and ordinary meaning in common usage. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines "physical" as follows:

Definition of Physical:
1. a. : of or relating to natural science;
    b. (1) : of or relating to physics; (2) : characterized or produced by the forces and operations of physics.
2. a. : having material existence; perceptible especially through the senses and subject to the laws of nature;
    b. : of or relating to material things.
3. a. : of or relating to the body;
    b. (1) : concerned or preoccupied with the body and its needs; (2) : sexual; a physical love affair; physical attraction;
    c. : characterized by especially rugged and forceful physical activity.

This is the hidden content, please

Similarly, the Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines "speed" as follows:

Definition of Speed:
1. (archaic) : prosperity in an undertaking; success.
2. a. : the act or state of moving swiftly; swiftness;
    b. : rate of motion, such as (1) : velocity, or (2) : the magnitude of a velocity irrespective of direction;
    c. : impetus
3. : swiftness or rate of performance or action; velocity.
4. a. : the sensitivity of a photographic film, plate, or paper expressed numerically;
    b. : the light-gathering power of a lens or optical system;
    c. : the time during which a camera shutter is open.
5. : a transmission gear in automotive vehicles or bicycles;
6. : someone or something that appeals to one's taste;
7. : methamphetamine; also, a related stimulant drug and especially an amphetamine.

Where multiple possible definitions of a particular word or phrase exist, we choose the definition or definitions which seem most reasonably applicable in the context of the term's usage. Here, the effective phrase "non-physical speed" was used on an online sports messageboard in a discussion regarding a football team from the small, east Texas town of Silsbee. The particular post which first raised the issue of "physical speed" did so by stating that "silsbee have some speed but it's not physical like the past" (emphasis added). In other words, this poster stated that Silsbee is in fact in possession of "speed," but not speed which is "of or relating to physics," which "has material existence," or which is "of or relating to the body."

It being established that Silsbee's speed is not physical, we next turn to the question of what non-physical constructions of speed could be applicable. Here, we determine that the poster's usage of "speed" could not have referred to "the act or state of moving swiftly," a "rate of motion, such as... velocity," a "rate of performance," the "sensitivity of photographic film," the "light-gathering power of a lens," the "time during which a camera shutter is open," a "transmission gear," or methamphetamine, as all such constructions of the word "speed" are innately physical. Therefore, we are left with only two constructions of the word "speed" which are applicable: (1) the archaic construction relating to "success" or "prosperity in an undertaking," and (2) the construction relating to "someone or something that appeals to one's taste." Thus, we are left to conclude that by stating Silsbee is in possession of "speed" but not "physical speed," this poster intended to express that he finds Silsbee's football team (1) successful, (2) attractive (i.e., appealing to his own tastes), or (3) both successful and attractive.

We note that whatever attraction this poster has for Silsbee's football team must not be physical in nature given his emphasis on "non-physical speed," and therefore that he possesses strictly mental or emotional attraction to Silsbee's football team. Likewise, we note that his emphasis on "non-physical speed" precludes the possibility of physical success, meaning that whatever success this poster could be referring to must similarly be mental or emotional. Therefore, we further conclude that by asserting "non-physical speed" on the part of Silsbee's football team, the post in question must be intended to say that Silsbee's football team is (1) mentally and/or emotionally successful (such as in the classroom, or in counseling), (2) mentally and/or emotionally attractive (i.e., intelligent and/or mature, qualities many find attractive), or (3) mentally and/or emotionally successful and attractive.

As long as we have any talented team that has to come to The Reservation, PNG Indians have the advantage.  Just ask one incredibly talented Titans team that came in & left without the victory.  Poor Babies, oh wait I mean Poor Titans.  I guess all of your crying comments made me think of a baby. lol 

Oh well, such is life & High School football.

To Clarify & Make You Happy: GO PNG INDIANS FOOTBALL!!!  Now you can smile.  By the way, I personally do not everhave to save face. I have been attending the PNG Football games for 53 years, I have seen us with only one win on the season, I have seen us win State Championships.  I remain always, and I repeat always proud of my Indians.
