Thank you.

Do you dispute that the General and football coach said those things?

I yield the floor.

No. Nor have I ever. Check the record, sir, and you will see that I speak the truth.

Now ... We both know that Vince Lombardi did not engage in criminal assault after the conclusion of an athletic competition, nor did his players.

Questions for you:

1) Do YOU approve of criminal assault by players on other players following an athletic competition? That's a simple yes or no question.

2) Do you think Vince Lombardi considered such behavior appropriate in any way, shape, or form? That's also a simple yes or no question.

3) Given the nature of your comments so far, you have some serious explaining to do.

FTR, I consider GENERAL Patton's comment irrelevant. His specialty was war. COACH Lombardi's comment is relevant; his specialty was athletic competition. Anyone who cannot distinguish war from athletic competition should not be engaged in either. Such a person will not likely take war seriously enough, while taking athletic competition too seriously.

The floor is again yours.
