Risking their lives day in and day out? Getting a little dramatic? No?

Thanks for posting your pic though, now we can put a face to the self important bluster and fake outrage.

Oh brother. That was SO not the point of my post. But since you did...

Come on, Deus. The "twat" and "vagisil" bits were just grade-school level playground taunts, suggesting the poster has yet to get over his fear of cooties. If population-wide mean sex differences were the real issue, you'd hear lots of compliments like this: "Man, the announcers for this game were so smooth explaining that situation, I wanted to buy them some tampons!"

Oh yeah, speaking of smooth: that Shane Vereen kid! Smooth receiver out of the backfield, eh? Hope his ankle's doing better.

Come on, you're not sorry. You've been beating the anti-Vereen drum all preseason up til now.

That's just typical BB gamesmanship man!!! He's going to come out this weekend and tear it up with NO limitations!!! (alright...alright....that is just wishful thinking on my part!.....just really to see this kid get alot of reps under his belt and stay healthy...)

I agree with this, and I wasn't defending his choice of words. Frankly, I consider that particular poster to be basically a long-term troll. I was talking about the general jokes about pain tolerance and the like, in response to your part about "female". I thought I'd made that clear but, since I apparently didn't, my apologies to you for the confusion.

I don't think it's fair to not give Vereen a chance to show what he has.

I don't recall anyone in here calling Fred Taylor a pansy or a part of a woman's anatomy when he played here but missed almost all of the season with a foot injury.

Fred Taylor missed a lot of games in his career but when he was healthy he was a beast........maybe Vereen can show his stuff when healthy as well.

Difference being Fred Taylor was 34 years old, playing in his 13th season after accumulating over 11,000 yards.
