Regarding wishing injuries on NFL players.....

Yeah jesus christ, its tackle football without padding. I've done some stupid stuff but everybody knows that you don't go full bore throw your body at somebody elses when you don't have pads.

Have you not seen the movie 'Invincable'? Papale and his buddies played tackle with no pads........................in the mud!

I got up after beating his ass and I thought to myself "did I just growl?". I did. I growled while trying to rip someones head off.

Sounds an awful lot like Roid-Rage Nick. Are you sure you're energy drink didn't come from BALCO?

I was thinking this sounded a little more... okay a lot more homo erotic than BALCO.

I play mens hockey here in MN and although its 'no check' its pretty rough- I play in the top tier with kids who have 8-10 years on me- I work out, nothing crazy, I know what I need and what works, I am 5'9, 175. I wish they had a checking league but I haven't found one yet. I love the contact and am willing to face the risks of skating. I wear no shoulder pads and have had a couple of slapshots off of my upper arms and shoulders. I don't cry about it. We even had one guy quit in the middle of the game due to the contact. ( there are punches and crosschecks thrown all the time- the NHL effect I call it ) I respect his decision and told him so. Everyone is different about taking a hit I guess. As far as NFL players getting injured I grew up reading about an era when guys hated each other and someone mentioned Deacon Jones, I love his attitude. I hate that buddy buddy laughing shit you see all the time on the field now. I would put bounties on guys heads if I could. I don't care what anyone thinks of that; its how I feel. Durability is as big as ability and being able to play through and not suffer injuries is part of being successful in the NFL.
