football is violent

Right ON KDW. You sound just like my mom.

We mom's tend to not like big bully's bullying our son's. ;-)

Anyone remember last year, exactly a year ago yesterday, when AL's Prothro nearly broke his ankle in half? I kept replaying it to see the injury, but got even more squeemish view after view.

Yes, I saw it happen. Still breaks my heart that a talent like that was wiped out. Heartbreaking! And to think that he will probably have trouble walking for the rest of his life. So sad.

I was kidding!!!!!

I hate football.

How could anyone possibly know that unless you put a ;-) or something in your post? I thought you were a complete moron there for a minute.

I don't understand how anyone can watch that more than once. I certainly don't understand the Bama fan that emailed the video to a bunch of people, including myself.

It was horrific. Every bit as bad as the Joe Theisman thing, if not worse. The kid will never play football again.

It's one play I'm sure Mike Shula wishes he could have back. A young man's career was destroyed and Alabama hasn't been the same offensive team since.

A complete moron? Maybe partial. ;-)
But you have to admit, when watching the video, it really didn't "look" like he stomped him that hard!

What kind of cleates do they wear in the NFL? It's like he dug in and drug it right through.

As for the prothro thing...it was in some magazine called Shock. It's sick and twisted. Is he walking at all yet.

I can't even watch that. ugh...

He didn't stomp him as much as he "raked" his face with his cleat. Haynesworth is a thug, pure and simple.

I was wondering the same thing. Since the field was grass were the cleates metal? The whole thing was just so nasty.
