Man, these guys can't go on strike one day too soon!!! A good lonnnnnnnnngggggggggg strike.

[Logic n' Reason]

You want to believe in someone who loved the raw violence of a sport so much that he would’ve been willing to sacrifice body and paycheck to play it. You want to believe in his craziness and passion.

Let's see....Bronco Nagurski, Dick Butkus, Chuck Bednarik, Ronnie Lott, Joe Greene, Sam Huff, Jim Brown, Ted Hendricks, Deacon Jones, Ray Nitschke, Jack Lambert, Conrad Dobler, Jack Tatum, and a very few more (and yes, Brett Favre would fit also) might certainly fit that description.

However, given the "namby-pamyby land" stature of our current crop of players, I would have to support the contention that this kind of toughness and love of the game and the physical mayhem it brings simply doesn't exist anymore.

OSHA would outlaw not only football at all levels but basketball, baseball, rugby and soccer. The injury rates would not be tolerated in any industry. Wimp America. Let the regulations flow.

Favre upgraded to “questionable”......

Old-time football players like to say they would’ve played for free in the parking lot, such was their love for the game.

Never played college or pro, but I did and still do love the game.
