It's still heartbreaking to me as a Saints fan, just because I think they help the city so much. I was living in New Orleans during their Super Bowl win, and I'll never forget the jubilation afterwards. It kicked the shit out of Mardi Gras.
this isnt soccer,i hate seeing a guy hurt BUT these guys are paid millions of dollars to hit each other as hard as they can. its like professional wrestling but for REAL. plus, its un-american to not get a bonus when you do a good job. the only guy who should wake up without bruises is the quarterback and the kicker; otherwise you fucked up and did a bad job. who dat and 504-life, 12th ward bitches.
Quarterbacks are the most hit players on the field, even with the new pussy rules.
I also thought it was more American to cock tease bonuses for hard work, but denying the rewards/laying everyone off for vague reasons once the goals are reached.
