RIP to the dirty dirty

[mussa]

You guys played a hand in Waters' early death (yes, you - I exempt myself because, beyond Emmitt Smith, I wasn't paying any attention to football during those years.  So I derived no enjoyment out of Waters' play, nor do I particularly enjoy today's savage hits ala Sheldon Brown-Reggie Bush.).  You guys are proponents of this sick, gladiator culture of embracing "hard-nosed play" - with "hard-nosed" often involving players banging themselves silly and doing irreparable damage to themselves.  If Waters had exercised sound judgment and taken himself out of games during the times when he should have, you guys would have been boo-ing him, peppering him with the "soft label", and all but calling for a more "hard-nosed" replacement. 

Be sure to read the reader comments accompanying the New York Times article.  Many of the comments bring the perspective about this sick gladiator machine.

Will the morbid cycle repeat?  Will this be your beloved Brian Dawkins in 10 years?  (Hauntingly-enough, he even wears the same no. 20.  )

We seriosuly need a BOOO smiley

I feel down wood steps head first and cracked my head on cement floor drunk one time. Top step, whole way down.  I got up, grabbed a beer, went upstairs and puked.  I think I had a concussion.  Suicidal thoughts do not run through my head

had?

Suicidal thoughts do not run through my head

[mussa]

[SunMo]

Maybe we can play a hand in your death. Here, I'll start...

Kill yourself

Second.

X infinity.  Get it over with already.

And take Bunkley/Cole/Skippy the wonder pup-poster with you. He's way behind on killing himself, and I don't think he's got the guts to do it.

If we have this power, how come Andy Reid is still alive?

Time to get to work on this.
