Many thanks to all for your kind words--and a big hug and kiss to Try for that magnificent photo of Ricky Williams. I have so much respect for that man as a player--he just gives and gives and gives and gives!
I want to go back to the olden days, when you could push, pull, smack, kick, knee, and generally stomp the crap out of the other team (or get stomped in the process, lol). How many games yesterday either went into OT or were close to it??? Aw, I'm just sayin...

You're welcome for the Ricky pic, I knew it would bring a smile to your face.
The issue of going back to the way it WAS rules wise is that the players are BIGGER ~ FASTER ~ STRONGER than they used to be for the most part and they are laying out some vicious hits that could be life changing. That still has to be addressed in my opinion, I saw the worst hit of the season yesterday in the Charger game when Jackson got unleashed on! It was ugly and he didn't move for quite some time. Fortunately he was able to get up and be assisted off the field, but hits like that have to be looked at with more than just a $10,000 fine that means relatively nothing to these D-backs monetarily these days. That's my opinion anyways....

I think in order to get these player's attention that suspensions have to be implemented. Two games seems ok, but I think starting them at 3 games per player will really make them second guess such Head to Head collisions. It's just not cool, but it will definitely curb these types of collisions.

I have to agree here. Yes, these guys make millions of dollars. But that is NOTHING compared to the pain and suffering they endure in their later years. These guys' life expectancies are not the same as the general public. I've seen a few "updates" on retired NFL players - so many of them suffer in silence in their later years. It kinda made me feel bad, in a way.

Well, Try, I completely agree with you here. When it comes to those big, nasty hits--there's not a rule written that can stop a vicious player, but perhaps a half-million or more would make him think twice before throwing one of those life-changing blows.
I hate to say it, because it kind of puts blight on the many, many fine players in the League; but there are some really bad guys playing ball today. They came up in really tough neighborhoods, and often the biggest, toughest, meanest guys are the ones who do the best and survive. Suddenly, one day they wake up and because they play the game well, find a Lexus in their driveway and agents falling all over themselves to rep them--giving them stacks of money to "hold them over" till their first paycheck. I know it to be true because I was around it for years and have seen it up close and personal...
(No, I cannot and would not 'testify' in a court of law regarding anything I saw because my memory sucks and gets worse every day due to my Arachnoiditis--just in case someone who should not be in Switzerland is *hoovering. Goes to CYA, which I always like to do. Anyway, I was just sayin'...)/color]

I remember that it took a lot of stitches to close the gashes in the man's face. That's not a matter of being being bigger, stronger and faster, but of being a vicious animal. He should have been thrown out of football.

Umm...y'all need to step up your efforts. I'm watchin' ESPN daily and not seeing ANYTHING about a "We Want Cowher" viral attack on Facebook or any other social networking site. C'mon man. What are you doing? Working?! Where are your priorities?!
