Generally, it's in the nature of the thing-- full speed hits are too likely to cause serious injury, and it's just cruel to have that happen in an exhibition.<BR/><BR/>Which leads me to why I'm here. I just want to record somewhere that Sean Taylor, defensive Pro Bowler from the Redskins, shows himself to be a jackass-- no, make that an azzhole, with his vicious hit on Moorman, the skinny little AFC punter. I mean, it's understood (at least by those of or near normal intelligence) that that kind of running-30-yards-at-top-speed and decking-a-guy-with-full-momentum thing is not to be done in this game... I'm not familiar with this Sean Taylor dude-- is he one of these modern DB hitmen who are so proud of sending people to the hospital? Someday he'll paralyze somebody or worse, then we'll see how he feels. Hell, he'll probably feel great, like the Ultimate Player, yo. (pause, grimace, spit). And these clowns on ESPN and FOX who play highlight reels of brutal hits-- I say the NFL should lean on them to cut out this glorification of out-and-out brutality. It's bad for the sport on many levels & it's a bad reflection on our society... I ain't sayin the American male should become some kinda poodle-y Parisian, but let's roll a little past the stuck-in-adolescence thing huh?<BR/><BR/>I think I might write the Commissioner's office in this vein, and suggest they make it difficult for Taylor to get to another Pro Bowl.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10508801554700720523noreply@blogger.com
