meatheads are jocks with no necks. meatballs are guys that want ditka to "coach the cubs". what you're talking about are meatballs. All meatheads are meatballs, but not all meatballs are meatheads. two unrelated species. if a meathead is, in fact, a meatball, it's totally coincidental. generally, meatheads don't think much about anything outside of their muscles and rape.
