they dont do it for the money (well, some do). they do it b/c they love it. there is TREMENDOUS risk for injury in all sports but that doesnt stop them. how about a 90mph fastball to the noggin in baseball? is baseball barbaric? and if so, whats wrong with being barbaric?

unless you're the right fielder for detroit, there isn't a very high risk for injury because of a abseball to the head in baseball.

and there's nothing wrong with it being barbarbic. I just say that as an excuse for why i don't like it. and the reason id on't like it is because my team (the eagles) always disappoint me.

Thats a complete lie. McNabb's numbers before his injuries were damn good.

offensive line is usually rather large, but thats out of necessity. but dont question their strength. theyve basically got the same job as a sumo wrestler, and no one complains about them being fat.
