Everyone knows I am no huge fan of Vic Ketchman, but he had a quote that he used often I think is appropriate:  "Football is not a game for the well adjusted."

This isn't to say that all football players are completely dysfunctional, but if you are looking for complete angels in this business, you can forget it.  Plenty of teams- many of them championship caliber- have had talented guys  with flaws.

Yeah..it caught me by surprise too.  All these years I'd seen Americus posting and I thought she was a dude.  Just found out last year or so.  Some good posters have stopped posting over the years.  How dare they get lives outside of this board!  IS that even allowed?!?  

I get what you're saying and yeah, I guess if we were winning the attitudes wouldn't  mean anything in the  big picture. 

What was it that made you think I was a dude? I think it's funny. I am a tomboy and my husband sometimes kids me about having bigger balls than him (I'm just more assertive!) and I wear the pants in the marriage. Not true, we share those pants. Lol.
