I am not a sports fan.

In my opinion there is far too much sports reporting in the media. I am particularly “turned off” when they hire squeaky-voiced chicks to report. Enough already. They’re wearing out my Mute button.

This is why I have absolutely zero interest in watching football anymore. Don't know if this story is accurate, but if it is he is juvenile and moronic, for starters.

Seems to me we now have in our society a totally skewed idea of what a ‘strong man’ is. A strong man is someone who lives by a set of principles and has the strength to adhere to those principles no matter what the personal cost. A strong man is someone who has self control and who won't embarrass his family and those who believe in him. A strong man is someone who would go as far as giving his life for what he believes in.

I see lots of men I would put in the category of ‘a strong man’, including those young men who are putting their lives on the line for us every day in the war on terror, and those who ran up the stairs to their deaths in the World Trade Center. Most of them couldn't hit the open man 40 yards down field with a perfect spiral, but from where I sit they are 100x the man that a sports star who acts like Farve is alleged to have acted have ever been.

Behavior like what Farve is accused of is the behavior of poorly guided adolescent boys, not men.
