ORIGINAL: kdsub Vince have you not noticed that the most brutish of football players when interviewed seem to also be the most intelligent of the lot. Butch lmao!!! You have a point, kd. Looks arent everything, you cant tell a book by its cover, etc . . . I have read of footballers graduating from state university unable to read or write beyond sixth grade; it is quite unfair of me to generalize, however. But have you noticed that Penn State which touts the highest academic achievements of its footballers has not won a national championship in many years? And whither Harvard? On the other hand, the University of Miami (FL) became a powerhouse in the 80s openly crowing about its thuggery and even wearing combat fatigues to one championship game (which they lost . . lol!) It was really unfair of me to raise the issue of literacy. I withdraw from it. However, football is a brutal sport that requires brutal men. As George Carlin said: "Football is played on a gridiron in a stadium, sometimes called Soldiers Field or War Memorial Stadium." GEORGE!
