i'd rather be riding than watching a bunch of "overpaid primadonnas" run around and try to act cool. been to games in person, and really can't get into the players that think they can't be bothered by the people who pay their salaries. who cares!!!!!
Overpaid? I dont think so. Go tell that to Clark Everett-the Buffalo Bills TE who is likely paralyzed for life and still may not survive his injury this sunday. Overpaid are actor's making 20M a movie or 1M plus an episode on TV. These football players risk their lives every sunday for that paycheck. As for egos, sure some of them are big headed but I know some non-athletes who are just as bad if not worse....they are paid accordingly in my book...
You tell that to the men and women serving this country who ACTUALLY put thier lives at risk every day. Football is just a phucking game!

And both (football players and soldiers) do so freely, and are aware of the risk. While the military is certainly no game, that doesn't change the fact that football is a very dangerous sport. Let's not lose perspective here. This isn't about who has a more dangerous job.

Soldiers like to watch football, and football players appreciate soldiers. It is a win-win, or at least it was for me when I was in the military. [/blockquote]

And it's just that kind of bull$hit logic that has created the millionaire crybabies we have permeating all of professional sport today.

Well, I can't speak for football players, but I can speak for my time as a soldier. I never gave a **** about how much someone else made, or how dangerous their job was. WTF do you care, are you a football player. A soldier? If not, then why the **** do you care.Both are doing what they do because they choose to do it.[/blockquote]
