Oh boy, another person who replies with personal attacks to people who disagree with his topic. Can I play too?
How about, sure, I may have been picked last for the gym class, but at least I wasn't prancing about in a pink tutu in the ballet class like you were.
Now, back to the issue at hand.
... Mr. Dobler is a textbook case. He was a three-time Pro Bowler who played 10 seasons in the NFL from 1972 to 1981. There's no denying that his knees are destroyed, and after many operations he manages to hobble around at best. He said he takes about 150 Vicodin a month to dull the pain...
Okay, he is injured.
... But anyone who remembers Mr. Dobler from his playing days will have little sympathy for him...
Now why is that? ... "Conrad Dobler was a pit bull without a leash on the field," ESPN wrote when fans voted him No. 6 among the dirtiest players of all time. "He didn't care who he hurt, how he hurt, and who saw him hurt. He even went as far to write a book called 'They Call Me Dirty' to proclaim he didn't have a care about anyone's health." ...
Oh. That's why.
Its sort of like feeling sorry for the bully who hit you in the face every day as he stole your lunch. Gee, I am sorry mister bully that your hand now hurts from all the times you hit me.
Or this example.
... Mr. Dobler isn't alone. Oakland Raiders defensive back Jack Tatum is unapologetic to this day for a 1978 hit that paralyzed New England Patriots wide receiver Darryl Stingley...
Ouch. So now we are supposed to have sympathy for Mr. Tatum but not Mr. Stingley.
and what about this?
... Mr. Johnson certainly did that. He admits that he continued to play, even though he knew he was suffering from repeated concussions. Furthermore, he didn't tell Patriots coaches or trainers about his recurring injuries for fear that he would lose his starting job (and starting salary). Amazingly, these self-incriminating facts haven't kept Mr. Johnson from blaming Patriots coach Bill Belichick and the team medical staff for his long-term ailments. But if the Patriots didn't know that he was hurt, how can he blame them for continuing to play him? ...
Sounds more like self inflicted injuries to me for the most part.
I don't care and I have no sympathy for them.
So you cheered the crash in We Are Marshall?
You are completely missing the point.
And they are not asking you or me for a thing. They are asking for help from the NFL and the NFLPA which they helped build.
I guess Mr. dleecomeback07 has to have a "Lighten up, Francis" moment
why do people always have to use ballet as an insult?
