Yeah the NFL is pretty much a p***y sport nowadays. That's why I prefer UFC

They were nothing like the Romans. The Romans threw defenseless people in the ring with wild animals just for sport. They pitted unpaid slaves (aka "Gladiators) against each other in the ring in a fight to death - no points, no pads, no penalties. Football at it's most violent was NEVER that brutal.

So, you've played before cleete? Then, you ought to know about strategy and the thought and skill that goes into all of this. Right?
That being said, I do appreciate the college version more nowadays. Basketball, too.
Baseball is the only pro sport left that I still LOVE! But, the Yankee's are doing their best to change my feelings even about baseball. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

The only professional sport I truly LOVE is auto racing. I still like baseball a lot, but being a lifelong Mets fan, I don't have much to be happy about (even less with Pedro "the orphan" Martinez).

I love college football and basketball almost as much as racing. You can't beat the tradition or the rivarly of college athletics. College is the only place where players still look on their coaches as father-figures rather than "just another paid member of the staff".

But where you and I part ways is that I believe if a man is going to make $10 million a year to play a boy's game, he had better be ready to pay the ultimate price. NFL players ARE the modern-day equivalent of gladiators, whether we want to admit it or not. When we have guys who are willing to give up their lives in Iraq for measly military pay, anything less than clothesline tackles is panzy bull****.

The truth is that we DON"T part ways on this one.
I love college sports.
College Sports: True "Sport" (with the intent of course, for the most part, to succeed enough to take part in "pro" sports) .

Cobra, you know you can’t start a thread around here and leave it to the wolves. If you have a direction you want something to go you have to stay and nurse it like a baby until it reaches maturity. Don’t be a dead-beat thread starter and think you can come in her and tell me that I am being a horrible surrogate parent or something. I have feelings too!

BTW, be home for dinner on time. I will be spending a lot of time on it, and I don’t want you to have to eat it cold!

Ok webbie, you're "smear the queer" experience gives you football brownie points, and you can stay and gay this thread. :rolleyes:

I personally don't like the sport anymore, and I won’t be fooled by “men” telling me it’s a “man’s game” and there’s “strategy” involved, and that it’s worth the “phuckin’ load of money” these guys get paid.

Figured, you were one of those pussy QB types :rolleyes:


By the way, I was one of the ones doing this :rolleyes: with that whole monday night thing, as well as the Janet Jackson boobie thing. It is a violent, violent sport. Even at college, which I prefer. It isn't a family sport, do you want to teach your child to do the things they do out there?

Heck, doubt anyone other then me remembers the "hit" Quentin Coryatt(sp) gave to the TCU kid that snowy evening. The kid had a concusion and a broken jaw Coryatt hit him so hard. That was football at its finest.

anyone remember the hit Greg Lloyd (i think it was Lloyd) layed on Buffalos Don Beebe in Pittsburg on a monday night game? it ws right against the side lines and Beebe had stains from the astro turf on back when he got up

Greg Lloyd is another one of my favorite Steelers of days past. I remember a preseason game against the Packers where he came untouched on a blitz and absolutely annihilated Brett Favre. Sent him out of the game too, on like Green Bay's first possession. To this day, Favre says it's one of the worst hits he ever took, and he's been hit quite a bit in his career. I miss Lloyd - no one one the Steelers D can haul out the lumber like he did, at least not as consistently. Farrior and Porter are good for a big pop every now and then, and so's Bell (when he's actually healthy & suited up, which is never), but their hardest hitters now are Polamalu & Hope. Friggin safeties. :(

I played TE/FB/LB & some HB in Pop Warner & High School.
