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.
I don't understand all this animosity towards football players. Every sport has its pros and cons. I know a ton of former college and high school footballers. They treat swimming with respect saying they don't understand how we can do all that in the water. On the other hand, I have no idea how they could take years of getting squashed by large fast moving men.
Let's be honest, as long as grown men wear lycra, we're gonna take some crap. 99% of the time it's good natured ribbing.
Oh, and golf is a sport, the most confounding, impossible sport on the planet.
