I understand your rant, but I think the only correlation of a military battle and a football game is merely just a metephorical comparison. Such is in the game of chess. It's strategical, man against man, brain against brain and test of will, strength, endurance and skill. If there are ever any comparison made of the two on this board or by any athlete I would definately think that this would be the ideology behind it. Nobody in his right mind would compare sacrificing a life for the greater good to being a millionaire athlete.

I have no problems with the general war metaphors used by NFL players...it's a way to stay focused.

Kellen Winslow is dumbass though.

Ok I'm done now.

You've got a problem with this?

I'm a retired Chief Petty Officer. I've got to listen to our jackleg, piss-ant politicians being compared to "drunken sailors" in the way they spend the taxpayer's money.

I'll tell you right now. I've pulled some pretty good drunks in ports all over the world. I never saw a sailor, drunk or sober, spending anybody's money other than his own.

Those sea-lawyers in Washington, DC couldn't get drunk or laid if you sent them into a Pat-Pong whorehouse with a fist full of $20's.

Thanks for letting me vent.

actually i think it's the ONLY way they can get laid... i've been through the patpong district and literally every ten feet is some geriatric old f**k with a 16-year-old girl hanging off his gut... sounds like your sea-lawyers to me

lol @ everyone who doesn't understand what a metaphor is. Outside of Kellen Winslow (lol), no football player honestly thinks he's engaging in true war. Football players tackle their brothers; soldiers kill them.
