What about Bob?

Craig on the Giants defensive players being prohibited from making friendly locker room wagers on their weekly performance:

"The NFL sees a slippery slope, performance incentives slides into bounty awards, and the league will not approve on anything resembling gambling. If they drop the cash component they can work around it. RB's, QB's have been rewarding their Oline since the beginning of time. Plenty of wiggle room there."

Lance on our take that Terrell Davis shouldn't get into the Hall of Fame because his career was cut short by injury:
"Are you kidding? TD was one of the best running backs ever to play the game. While everyone believes that Curtis Martin is a shoo in because he gained so many yards over so many seasons, he never won a super bowl or dominated in the playoffs like TD.
The only Denver Bronco in the HOF is John Elway for the same reason Matt Holliday lost out on the MVP to Rollins this year. Denver sports teams have never been taken seriously or respected on the national stage.
Granted, I'm a homer, but I don't believe that Rod Smith should be in the HOF either, because he never dominated at any time. He played well over a long period, but that doesn't make him more than an above average player.
TD was special and should be recognized as such. Once were on the issue, what about Gary Zimmerman and Steve Atwater too?"

kafoste on the aftermath of the Sean Taylor shooting:

"I saw a few blogs where people were saying he had what was coming to him.I cant believe the barbaric thinking that some may have today in our society. This young man is a fellow human being with friends and family just like some of you regardless of what you may think of his on or off the field behavior. I wish him the best as well as his family ... Wake up, American ... Wake up."
