In the immortal words of Jack Lambert. “Let,s put dresses on all of them”. Football is a contact sport. PERIOD!

Williams was paying players bonuses if they took the opposing star player out of the game. There’s a difference.

Yea, it’s a contact sport, but it’s not the hunger games. What Gregg did is despicable. I already know too many old football players who take 4 hours to get out of bed every morning. Over the last several years I’ve become more and more of an uneasy fan as I see the long term damage that it’s causing. I hope the people involved in this betting scandal all get lifetime bans from the NFL.

A high-low tackle is assault with an intent to maim. Do this to someone not as strong as Manning and you can kill him.

And Jack Lambert was a moron. Can we watch a sport that doesn’t kill people?

I’m guessing you think war is fun and games too.

There is a difference between playing a game and purposely trying to go out and try and make someone never walk again.

But I dont think Jack would go out of his way to cause an injury that would end someone career and by therefore his paycheck.
This Whole thing with the Saints stinks. It is another instance of the “Thug Culture” in the Nation Felon League.
