Since when did football become a pansy sport?

The refs are calling stuff way to much.First of all it is nearly impossible to make a deffensive play if you are a cornerback...I mean they are calling a pass inference almost a everytime a cornerback touches the receiver.Also I see flags flying if there is a little push to a quarterback after he throws the ball or if he runs and steps out of bounds...I mean come on we are playing football.Or the kicker He kicks the ball and because a defnder is coming full speed to block it he cannot control himself so he just bumps him and they get a first down.And the last thing...if you are not going to call helmet to helmet consistently dont call it.I was enraged when they called that helmet to helmet on georgia tech!

A football game is like going to a gay bar. A bunch of guys, who are way too into working out, are in the middle of everything trying to penetrate each other’s end zones. While the women are off to the side dancing with each other.

I imagine owners and officials are trying to avoid having too many gridironers stumbling-around on queer street from excessive roughness.


The Joe Montanas of professional football have made enough dough to bail rather than take a chance on that final cortex-scrambling blow but too many of the 'spear-carryers' stick-around and are liable to end up...bad.
Reply:I agree with the asker here. To quote the great Deacon Jones (roughly, from his appearance on NFL total access), 'in my day we didn't have positions 3, 4 or 5 people deep. if you couldn't keep yourself healthy you didn't make it in the NFL. today the league is full of trash'





and I agree with him. It's not just because players are bigger now (bigger--%26gt;more ouch to other guy) because back then they were smaller, but proportionatly the defensive guys were bigger than the guys on offense. Today players are babied too much. They need to be conditioned better, etc.
