I didn't hear anything about chickens.

EVERY athlete has taken vicodin. And all good guys drink alcohol. Tell me you wouldn't want to hang with the toughest sob in the NFL?

Agreed.
I'd LOVE to hang w/ Jeremiah Trotter.

And NealIsGod, you sound like a Bonds-apologist SF Giants fan every time you use the legalese to excuse Lewis.

I don't excuse that he tried to cover up for his friends. Just saying he has paid his price and has more than made up for it.

And by the way, the victims in that incident were not exactly innocent.

Pff. That's how it ended up but as usual in this type of case (OJ, Iverson, will happen with both CapMan and Vick) witnesses will suddenly make drastic almost 180 degree shits in their stories, or juries of a certain demographic composition will decide to thumb their noses just to stick it to "the man" and voila!!!

People said they saw Lewis stab the guy to death.

Really? Who? Where were they during the trial?

[Red13JoePa]

LOL, they're never there (or change their stories on the stand) during the trial! That's the point exactly.

I honestly can't think of anyone in professional sports these days that kids can look up to. How sad.

There are a few..

Brett Favre

Eh?

Painkiller addict and alcoholic.

EVERY athlete has taken vicodin. And all good guys drink alcohol. Tell me you wouldn't want to hang with the toughest sob in the NFL?

WOW I agree with Deano, BRETT would be a cool dude to hang out with..

BTW, anyone who has gone thru what he as gone thru and is STILL PLAYING AT PEAK FORM----thats amazing.. death in family, wife going thru cancer. died dies and 48 hours later plays probably his best career game ever! Super Bowl Ring... going to break Dan Marinos records this year... NEVER MISSES A GAME, plays thru injuries he is at over 220 games and counting----PLUS THE SAME TEAM FOR HIS WHOLE CAREER, except for that stint back in 1992 with the falcons... BTW I get to see him play SEPT 23 against the Chargers at Lambaeu Field!!

Rick

[NealIsGod]

Nah, the prosecution had no evidence. If they had, they would have loved to string up a star like Lewis.

Not everything is a conspiracy.

Yeah, but he has just been going through the motions the last few years. That team needs to move on.

[Red13JoePa]

Stop right there....Rick, he's going to Canton, ticket rubber stamped. But he's been a back-pedaling, put it up for grabs before taking a hit, pick MACHINE for 5 years.

His O Line is but a row of daisies and marigolds...what you expect? His team is pure shit.

However, anyone remember 4 years ago, when his old man passed away Monday morning, and Brett went out and threw for about 4000 yds against Oakland? Yeah, I know it is Oakland, but still.....He is a stud.

Most of that was in the first half, too, wasn't it? If I remember correctly, he sat out most, if not all, of the second half.

[NealIsGod]

Yup, 311 yards and 4 TDs in the first half.

[Rockindeano]

Yup, 311 yards and 4 TDs in the first half.

Yup, that's the Raider D! Commitment to Excrement!

The gunslingers either hit paydirt or get intercepted... Is what i love about him....IS all the RISKS he has taken and still goes about his business like he is having the time of his life!! Heck even last three years really... On the field he is pure general!! Reminds me of a pitcher that comes out of the bullpen..either you get them out, or they hit you like crazy...but you always go to the pitching mound for more!

don't they do random drugs testing on sports people in the states? ......just interested

[Rockindeano]

Yes. Most major sports, I will elaborate later on "most" have random drug testing, however, drug tests are easily beat, if you know it's coming, in which Major League Baseball gives a short notice, and in that notice period, there are certain agents one can take to "mask" the guilt. See Barry Bonds.

When I referred to "most" I was referring to the biggest piece of shit sports league with the biggest piece of shit humans on earth, the National Basketball Association. The National Football League and he National Hockey League both check for drugs ranging from cocaine to painkillers. Now, that "Piece of Shit" league, the NBA, has a union, that represents the players. get this: they fought the league on testing for marijuana. That's right, the NBA cannot test for Marijuana. That should tell you all you need to know about that league.

Does that explain it?

Yep I get it,
Over here drugs testing is done in a slightly different way, so there is no room for doing anything to mask etc. Basically the officials come along from the Ministry of Sport and there and then say they want to test so many or one or two players/athletes whatever sport it is it could be anything, even archery . A few sports people have been found out this way, and that has been it for them. They even do it at amateur level. Even jobs over here (some) test for drugs /banned substances. It's pretty strict.
That just sounds plain ridiculous aboout the NBA, fancy making it so players cannot be tested for a certain drug...anything that is considered banned should be able to be tested for! ...thanks for putting me in the know

Who cares? Ravens-Eagles this Monday night!

looking forward to football starting again.the colts-cowboys game is on thursday night.

Yeah, I am an NFL nut. I will watch it while sticking pins in my Jerry Jones voodoo doll.

Me too, and I'm a Cowboys fan. I can't stand JJ. I have worked more than my share of Cowboys charters. Jerry will pull up in his Caddy and toss my crew chief the keys like he's some kind of valet, and stroll up the stairs to the plane with his wife, smiling and giving gratuitous waves to nobody waving back. Reminds me of Bush. Nobody likes him here.

I've been a Cowboys fan since the late 70s and still believe that Jerry Jones is the worst thing that ever happened to the Cowboys, regardless of their winning Super Bowls in the 90s. The way her unceremoniously fired Tom Landry still pisses me off.

[Red13JoePa]

Jerry Jones... The way he unceremoniously fired Tom Landry still pisses me off.

Only worthwhile thing he's ever done.
Landry was a bush league turd.

Never met a scoreboard he wouldn't try to run up on someone.
Met his bushleague match in Buddy Ryan, though w/ the Iggles.
I'll grant you the all-time great part.

[Rockindeano]

Never met a scoreboard he wouldn't try to run up on someone.

Too fucking bad. If you can't compete, get better.

He had the killer instinct. Stomp on the opponent's throat and don't let up. I like it.

Good story, thanks for that. Charlie Weis gets it. Good guy.

[SF-Dano]

Barry Rocks... to be able to hit 756 home runs at 95-100 mph fast balls, wicked curve balls, sliders, knuckle balls and everything else thrown at him... that takes more than steriods---- talent is another aspect of his game...remember back when he started...back in Pittsburgh he was one of those rare guys who would be in the 30-30 club every year... At least he wasnt using cocaine or the other drugs the players from the 70s and 80s were using.

And yes A Rod will break the record easily by the time he is 40 unless he gets injured a lot.

Rick

Also he hit those home runs off of steriod using pitchers.

Steroids were around in the 70's too (re: Arnold Schwarznegger, Lyle Alzado, etc.), but the big three sports were not testing for them then. And I am not saying Hammerin Hank was on them, but it is not impossible.

Go ahead and bash away.
