ROFL! You're a real gut buster, kid. You really bring the heavy-duty smarts and integrity. (sarcasm off)
It's game day, I'm up early and I read the sports pages of the two Pittsburgh papers already. I must say, the things I center my sports attention on when I read the columns are the comments of the players, the direct quotes. And I must say, and you should like this, the Jets players are saying all the right things as game time approaches. That is a little alarming to me as a Steeler fan. Some Jets players seem to have the right perspective on this, so me being a Steeler guy, that's not what I want to hear. Here is an example:
"When you talk to some of the older guys and ask them why they still play the game, it's not about money; it's to be a champion," Mawae said. "There are a lot of guys in this locker room who have that feeling."
You see, this indicates to me that the Jets are coming into the game with their heads in the right place. A point for the Jets.
Now to your remarks, I could have guessed that you would continue to say silly things and begin calling names because you, after all are one thing, you are consistent.
You wrote: "I think its you who lives vicariously through video games and fantasy football." --- Let me tell you. sonny, I have never played a video game in my life, not that there's anything wrong with them for those who like them. And I sort of laugh at all that "fantasy football" stuff, I don't even know how it works. I just guess it's some little game fans play if they are frustrated G.M.'s or something. I don't care.
You also wrote: " Who is the ignorant one now fat man?" --- I think you can answer your one question.
Kid, I was a player, and I honor professional athletes, and anyone in any field who takes the daily pain and sticks with something long enough to reach excellence. Don't soil these conversations with your foolish conclusions and name calling. You don't do justice to the team you are rooting for.
Enjoy the game and don't take it so seriously. After all, it's the players and coaches who are playing the game, we're just watching. Who knows, your team may pull off a victory today. Try to be an adult about it if it happens. Enjoy.
p.s. It's 17 degrees here this morning and we're looking forward to a hot time on The North Shore later on.
