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.

  • If you don't like the threads, why bother reading them? That's such a cop out. You don't have to like or agree to a thread to read it. I agree with knelson - a sport struggling to find it's way among the bigger televised sports has no business putting down other sports of any size, especially when those disparaging the other sports have never played them. Given 98% of Americans are big tubs of lard, the fact that anyone does something athletic is good enough for me.
