But your opinion is as good as mine here, but then again, mine is at least as good as yours.... You've played professional football? Have you played any football? I played on a league at Ft Belvoir for three years. I was intentionally fouled (blind-sided) one time in over 30 games. Yes, I returned the favor, and we suffered 15 yards. I was a rusher whose job was to keep the q-back from going around the outside. Lots of hitting, pushing, shoving, dirty looks, etc. Never got a thumb in the eye (and we didn't wear padding or helmets), an elbow in the kidneys, or a twist on the leg while in a pile. I've no idea on what you're basing your opinion. John H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |

This bull**** about "every" play includes a thumb in the eye, an elbow to the kidney or trying to twist a leg off while getting up from a play is just that .... bull****. Gotta love rec.boats. How many NFL coaches are involved in the same game as defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was? You remember Williams, right? An NFL investigation showed that NO Saints defensive players were being paid $1500 for taking an opposing player out of a game. The NFL claimed that at the time of the 2009 playoff game between New Orleans and Minnesota, Saints captain Jonathan Vilma had a $10,000 reward for any player who hit Brett Favre hard enough so he had to leave the game. Your NFL heroes play dirty and take steroids, and it wouldn't be surprising to learn that a good number of them play footsie with professional gamblers. Harry, there are over 1,700 active players in the NFL. How many do you think are offered or accept bonuses to "take out" an opposing player? Are there isolated cases of criminal like behavior? Yes, just like in any business. Is it representative of the whole league? No way. Just because you don't enjoy football or much of any popular sports doesn't mean it's all bad. Just like all big businesses aren't bad. You sure have a negative view on anything that doesn't appeal to you. Of course the fact that there was some corruption in the NFL means the entire league is dirty. Same goes for the unions. The fact that there has been union corruption means the entire system is dirty, right? Gotta hate how that "logic" plays out. :-) Your first conclusion is obviously false. Your second is obviously true. That's my story, and I'm sticking with it. John H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |

Yeah, but every hit in football is designed to make someone drop the ball or get hurt... every single one. Every time a guy blocks on the line, he tries to shove a thumb in an eye, or an elbow to the kidney, twist a leg while in the pile, etc..... Your pads don't help much when you are in a pile and someone grabs your leg and tries to twist it off while getting up... Granted, in baseball there is some contact, what, three times a game? In football there are probably 40 hits, each and every play, designed to hurt the other guy and put him out of the game... I honestly don't believe that. Some fraction of the players intend to hurt someone, but I believe most players intend to do their job - protect the quarterback, rush the quarterback, run the ball, tackle the ball carrier, catch the ball, stop the catch, etc., etc. Sorry, we're going to have to disagree on that one. John H. -- Hope you're having a great day! Agreed. Football is a rough sport but I think the majority of the players have a certain degree of respect for each other and are not out to *intentionally* cause injuries. It could just as easily happen to them. (Paybacks are a bitch). There are a few who are out to maim but they are in the minority. This bull**** about "every" play includes a thumb in the eye, an elbow to the kidney or trying to twist a leg off while getting up from a play is just that .... bull****. Well, aren't you the expert..... again..... snerk. Now you're sounding like Donnie. Uncalled for. John H. -- Hope you're having a great day! Well, it's a comment on the way he summarily dismisses almost anything I say. Something has changed in him in the last year, when he stops acting like harry, I will stop dismissing him like harry... We were talking about one specific thing, the inflicting of intentional injuries in football, not 'almost anything you say'. You said, "In football there are probably 40 hits, each and every play, designed to hurt the other guy and put him out of the game..." To get 40 hits per play, given there are 22 people on the field, and one hit takes two or more people, would mean that each player hits another three or four times per play, *and* each hit is designed to *hurt* the other guy - not block, not catch, not pass block, not throw, not tackle, but *hurt*. Well, I think that's bull**** also. John H. -- Hope you're having a great day! We were talking about one specific thing... how many intentional hits football players get compared to soccer, lacross, and basketball... It would be interesting to compare the serious injury rate per 100 professional and college players in sports such as football, soccer, basketball, baseball. By serious injuries, I would include concussions and other serious head/brain injuries, fractures, internal organ damage, et cetera. I would be very surprised to learn that the rate of *serious* injuries in football wasn't at least twice as high as the rate of the next sport. I doubt if stats are kept on the deliberate infliction of *serious* injuries on other players. I would expect that the deliberately inflicted *serious* injuries in football lead the list in a big way. -- Religion: together we can find the cure. |
