Jacksonville vs. Greenbay

Lets see...

One of my fondest memories playing....

I was playing Defensiv End, we were getting destroyed, on the goal line, the Def. tackle looked over at me and we both said that they wereen't going to run it through us. Sure enough they tried, we hit the guy at the same time with such force that he went into the air, we both continued hitting him on the ground. We got penalized, but pumped the defense up enough to actually stop that drive.

My father, playing guard going up against best tackle in the conference. Refused to get beat, put the kid in the hospital. Another time, tells me when he was playing Linebacker, he and another guy hit a kid at the same time, one low, one high on the ribs on opposite times, could hear the ribs breaking. How they used to use clotheslines to stop people. Nicest guy anyone will ever meet, my dad, respect him more then anyone else with his ability to remain calm. On that field though, you become a different person, it isn't about class, it is a violent sport and only those that wish to win should be out there.

Do you really have any comprehension what those guys are mentally going through? Do you ever really watch good O-lines battle out with good D-lines, do you see the shady underhanded crap that goes on those trenches? Or do you only care about the pretty boy hot doggers?

That is what I mean by romanticising a violent battle of a sport. To this day, if I am out there playing tackle with friends, if you are on the other side, I hate you while I am playing. As soon as the game is over, hell, I am the first to give ya a hug and by a beer.

So you want to come and bitch about a little rule? Nah, it isn't that important, and as Ya_know said, esp coming from someone whose idle is a man whose entire career is breaking, bending rules.

Yes,.. I do have an idea of what they are going through mentally. I never played in a league, but I have played my fair share of "smear the queer" games and weekend football games with friends as I grew up. And no,.. not just 2 on 2 or 3 on 3,.. I mean those big events where like 100 people show up and go balls out playing. As a kid, I mostly played soccer. Any before you go with the stereotypical comments about soccer, I'd like to see you or anyone else go through that kind of conditioning. You go run non-stop for 2 hours in blistering heat. I have always played sports all my life. And yes,.. football is an especially violent sport, I understand that from first hand experience. I usually played QB or receiver since I was always good at running when I was younger,.. but getting hit in mid-air while trying to catch the ball is no picnic. Getting sacked by a 300lb ton of lead weight as a 5'10", 150lb QB is no picnic. I have had the elbow to the face, the wind knocked out of me, and have been hit plenty of times. I understand what you are saying. As a kid,.. I would watch the Niner games,.. watch Ronnie Lott go out and destroy his opponents. I watched how he did it for when it became my turn to hit someone.

So,.. you wanna preach to me like you think you know me? You don't know s***! It is complete bulls*** what this jaguar guy did to that other guy (sorry don't remember their names). You wanna compare a brutal illegal hit on someone that could've killed them to Howard Stern who talks about booger jokes? Sorry,.. there is no comparison. Two completely different things. One has to do with peoples lives being put in more danger than they should be and the other has to do with overly sensitive people who are too easily offended by simple words.

So who here still thinks NFL is a family event? I remember not too long ago everyone jumping on me because I called it a violent sport. Then everyone starts preaching to me about what a wonderful family fun filled thing it is. Then you got Cleetus and Ya_know with this whatever tough guy marine attitude talking about violent it should me and how they are happy to see people getting jacked up. What a crock. You guys all got way too much wind in your sails.

From ESPN.com

Brett Favre:
"I don't know him personally. He seems like a good guy and it's an unfortunate hit," Favre said. "And his comments were he was going for the ball. Maybe he was. Maybe his sole intention was to knock the ball out, but it just didn't seem like it."

Seriously, that's alot of crap!
This is a civilized SPORT! Not a forum for death and decapitation!
That is why there are rules!
I saw the replay many times, and he definitely clotheslined him. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif

No way man! :uke:

The "rules" against roughness are a recent phenomenon, designed to attract more woman and families to the watch the sport. The NFL of the 1940's and 1950's was PLENTY CIVILIZED!!! 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.

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

To hear cleetile dysfunction tell it, you'd think it was a bunch of guys with clubs out to kill and maim.https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif
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

So to review.... https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2007/09/1.gif
It was a cheap fvckin' shot.

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.

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.
