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.

I beg to differ. Pro Football is pure BS. I would much rather spend my Friday nights and Saturdays watching high school and Pop Warner where kids still have a passion for the sport. I still watch a few college games but that's getting stupid.

I grew up in the same city where they make "Friday Night Lights". When I graduated from high school I was a 9 year veteran. I remember one game for the district championship where our middle linebacker literally tried to take the quarterbacks head off. (The snaps on the helmet came loose and the helmet went about 20 yards down the field.)

Pro football is gaining fast on the NBA in suckability.

Believe it or not,after seeing about 50 li'l meskin kids fighting over a soccer ball I could become a fan. It was really cool!

Sorry,on reflection we need to set boundaries between sport (an activity that you have done and understand.)

and amusement. (Yeah that's you.)
