get off king's back

And who keeps a machete by the bed (outside of the third-world?)

What can be said about Taylor? What do you want King to write? He was once a Grade A thug, then, over time he became less thuglike. He brandished guns, he's been robbed numerous times, he carries a machete apparently.

I will remember Maurice Clarett ripping the ball back from Taylor after an interception in the greatest game ever played.

And Taylor launching his helmet in overtime, sending the interior padding flying. He missed the next series.

He was a trenendous safety who cared more about huge hits than sure tackles. Violence and cash. I argue that Sean Taylor is the epitome of our culture. Of course right next to John Williams.

Sad day for the evil NFL.

"First of all, who is "we"? Second, why does a person forfeit his right to make his own medical decisions just because health is not his No. 1 priority?"

We = I dunno, the communal 'us.' Sports fans I guess. Maybe Rog Godell. Maybe me + whoever read what I wrote.

I'm not saying that a person should forfeit autonomy because he plays football. I'm saying that these men characteristically endanger themselves many times more than the average american, and as a result, trainers and coaches should have more of a say than the player does in determining when they return to the field.

It is in the best interest of football players let someone else make the decision concerning when to return to the field. I think we all agree. We = see above (less injured NFL football players)

Comment

Hillary voted for the Iraq War.

Ron Paul voted against the Iraq War.

Can't clean up that gaffe.

Taylor

Good article King.

Sean Taylor was a bad man. Similarly to how Manny Ramirez is a bad man. Absolute top of their sport. Maybe they won't outclass people - but they will outperform anyone. There is a lot to be said for that. I'm pretty sure the Olympics were invented for people like Sean Taylor.

Sean Taylor with a machete. Kind of like snakes on a plane. A seriously frightening thought. Fire ants in your boxer-briefs.

football

Packers vs. Cowboys = further proof that the NFL is evil.

College football. All those things King said.

I went to my alma mater's big game this year - I don't want to imagine a world without those games.

But, playoffs. PLAY,OFFS?

Well, actually, I'm all for it. I believe that no one will outcoach or outrecruit Jim Tressel. But I won't ask these young men to play 4 more games for my enjoyment without giving them each at least 10k per game (straight out of the Athletic Department budget). So, until the cash happens, viva la BCS.

Will OU lay down to preserve a BigXII national title shot?? hahha, Mizzou is going down. They'll probably give up 41 points again.

O-H..

To each their own

The women in my family are amazing cooks. Actually, they are unreal. They prepare an amazing Thanksgiving feast. The men in my family can cook, but not nearly as well as them. So, instead of having a mediocre meal, we have an amazing meal prepared by the women. If people want to look at us as "preserving gender stereotypes," go right ahead.

Also, how big are your kitchens? The men in my house are kept out of the kitchen so the women have room to breathe.

@ GoBucks

Thank you for the reciprocity. The Ohio State/West Virginia game will be a blast. We'll just have to tune out the griping. That reminds me! Get your gripes ready SportsDaily readers.

from wikipedia on anti-gravity:

"according to the major directions of physical research, it is considered highly unlikely that anti-gravity is possible"

from Lloyd Christmas:

"so you're telling me there's a chance."

Bravo Joan

Hammer away at Giuliani. You're right to. I cannot believe that Americans can't see right through this guy.

But reading your post gave me the heeby-jeebies. I couldn't help but imagine Rudy and Judy in some sweaty, slow-mo, cellulitic tryst. I need to go take a shower (or, wait, I read that article today about cleanliness, maybe I'll just splash cold water on my face)

Back to my point. Go after this guy. He is not fit to lead this country. As time passes, people need to be redirected to Ron Paul, aka the best candidate hands down.

Hillary voted for the war in Iraq.

Ron Paul voted against the war in Iraq.

Can anyone imagine Abe Lincoln at the Douglas debate saying, "he's attacking me because I'm ahead." I can't. Her puffery is laughable and disgusting.

I'm calling it now: Hillary trainwreck. Don't say you weren't warned.

Keep getting after Rudy. I appreciate it.

OMG

There is a thinker in here. Their name is: Renegade Iconoclast.

Renegade Iconoclast, please be quiet. You're not helping my cause.

One more time:

Hillary voted for the war in Iraq.

Ron Paul voted against the war in Iraq.
