Agreed. Was a good game though.

My son will be one of the million-plus in Boston tomorrow. God help us.

Great, traffic jams so these idiots can stand around yelling and
cheering like a bunch of morons because a group of overpaid grunts
played with footballs.
Millions upon millions of dollars spent on it while kids go to bed
cold and hungry in this country...
What the f#$k? am I the only one who sees the stupidity of this whole
waste of time and resource activity?

Yes, outlaw sports. Take another couple of Billion dollars out of the
economy. That will help the children! It's for the children!

Who said outlaw sports? Have you been taking your prozak lately?

If the money spent on professional football were instead turned over to
the public libraries in those pro team cities, the children in those
areas would surely benefit.

A lot of people would say the same thing about your boat. Except that
professional football does benefit the community a lot more than your
boat does.

Harry, a communist like you should love football. It provides enjoyment
for many more people of lower means than recreational boating does, for
lower cost per person.

Steve, I'm going to disagree with you here. Harry dislikes team sports
because organized team sport is a meritocracy. Some are more skilled and
harder workers than others, and the skilled, hard workers get bigger
rewards, while those with lesser skills and effort fail -- with no regard
for their so-called "self-esteem". This is the way every business ought to
be allowed to work, but we all know that is not the case.

It's amazing how much "analysis" low-brain-output types like you try to
squeeze out of your various orifices, and how hard you work at it and
yet how wrong you always are.

What do you do for a living, John? Certainly nothing that requires
abstract thinking.

I dislike most *pro* sports, but I do enjoy some college sports. If I'm
in Tallahassee "in-season," I'll gladly attend an FSU football game,
although football is not among my favorite team sports, and I'm not an
FSU alum.

My favorite team sports are rugby, swimming and track, the three sports
I most enjoyed participating in in high school and college. I have the
honor of losing and losing badly in a 1960s shot put event to Randy
Matson of Texas A&M. He was incredible. I was merely on the team. What a
joy to watch that guy. Got to photograph him, too, the next year, while
a stringer for the KC Star.

Nothing.

Randy Matson was an Olympic champion and national champ in both shot and
discus several times.. So, you and a lot of other people lost to him. It
must have been fun just competing in that kind of crowd.
