As I was browsing around for articles on tonights Bengals/Ravens game I ran across this article and this quote.

"I mean, this isn't a soft sport. We don't play chess. This isn't swimming. This isn't one of those kind of sports. It's football. It takes a man to play this game, and to play this game you have to have passion.''
I had to laugh.
Well, in all honesty, there is a reason I chose swimming over football. Getting pummelled day in and day out had no appeal to me. I vacationed with an NFL player this past summer and he was huge, fast and in incredible shape. Quite a physical specimen. I challenged him to a swimming race and he challenged me to a tackling contest. I decided to call it even before the feats of strength.
