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.
College and high school football players....I can respect them. In the Atlanta area, the "professional" team led by Michael the hood Vick gets no respect from me. They are overpaid spoilled brats that think they deserve respect but have not done anything to deserve it. Michael Vick shot birds at the crowd last week at the end of the game! Oh yeah, that deserves respect! UUGGGHHH:mad:
Unfortunately, one bad apple spoils the bunch, in this case probably the most over-hyped, under-performing football player in a generation, definitely since Bosworth, gull's hero.
Overpaid is an opinion. It's called supply and demand. If no one watched football, no one went to games, no one bet on it in Vegas (and, um, elsewhere) then they'd be paid less. I'm not gonna fault a guy for getting paid his market value. If you can get paid millions for playing a sport, more power to you! That goes for all sports.
