The NFL Today, whining players, ignorant GM's, blind league officials, and foot loving head coaches, has me thinking that the tough players really did play in the XFL. The most cancerous players are signed to the most depressing long term deals, the most innocent hits get mid week fines, and the Eagles Sunday night game against the Vikings this week got cancelled because of the snow. What would the old players say about the NFL Today? Chuck Bednarik, Jack Youngblood, Dick Butkus or Lawrence Taylor would be disgusted of the nature of the game today, which once provided the roughest most intense three hours of sports entertainment known to man. The sport that once left it all on the field now provides reality shows, tabloids, and coaches that bench their starting QB's with the game on the line; Mike Shanahan you once had a good name. Sunday NFL Countdown targets the heart of the football fan with its attempt at some tear jerking stories, while hay maker hits are thrown in the reject pile of Chris Berman's pre game rants. A lock out next season? Maybe the league could use a break, take a power nap, maybe even a Caribbean cruise, and come back with the attitude that football should never change.
