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

    Nice story Lewis! Having never been a football fan I don't have much love for the sport but I do respect the athletes for what they endure during practice and during games. I think they lack sufficient respect for their own bodies, but I still respect their efforts. Now, boxing! That is a sport that I have no respect for, whatsoever, at all. I despise the sport and think the athletes are borderline brain dead before their first match.
