[quote=threadkiller]I’m not normally a basketball watcher, but when I saw the overtime game the other night, Kobe’s elbow to the jaw was more ruthless than I can imagine any CEO being. Not the kind of person I want my son looking up to![/quote]

Threadkiller, as someone who spends way too much time watching basketball, that elbow wasn’t a big deal, that’s just playoff basketball. Any veteran would have done the same, the defender ran into his space, he never moved his feet and he was wearing a defender from behind, the defender did it on purpose too, and flopped to the ground on purpose, that’s just a strategy. If you had seen the any of the Denver series’ or the Bulls/Celtics series this year (which was the best series I have seen in a decade), you would have vomited and put a blindfold on your kids. I think the bulls celtics games were averaging something like three players needing “in game” sideline stitches from the team doctor, my friends and I were making side wagers regarding flagrant fouls, facial bleeding, stitches, blood cleanup delays and ejections.

Lakers/Orlando was mild as far as most playoffs go, and never let anyone look up to sports stars, especially your kids, it’s entertainment, that’s all.

TG: I’m going to politely disagree with you on letting the kids look up to sports stars and due to one example. In my second year of coaching youth football (Pop Warner), we were invited to take our Mitey Mite team to perform against Murrieta during half time at a Chargers – Rams preseason game.

Before the game, all of the kids were allowed onto the field to watch the Chargers practice. The kids were allowed to meet the Chargers as they came off the field and two Chargers in particular are forever in my own “Hall of Fame”: Drew Brees and Lorenzo Neal. Drew Brees made a point of shaking each kid’s hand and Lorenzo Neal went from kid to kid saying, “This (youth football) is where it all starts; stick with it!”. The look on each kid’s face was priceless: A mixture of shyness, awe and pride.

So, for every stupid maggot like Michael Vick, or Allen Iverson or Manny Ramirez, you have Drew Brees, Lorenzo Neal and Peyton Manning (a friend of mine told me a very similar story about Peyton and my friend’s Pop Warner team).

Of course, the icing on the cake will be watching Lorenzo Neal opening up holes for that Raider backfield this season!

And the football talk begins. Allan, I’ll agree, there are great character people in all sports, I guess even on the Raiders. That kinda hurt to type.

TG: Took my son to Pop Warner weigh-in yesterday and got to meet the head coach of the Midget team (last division before they play high school ball) that I’ll be defensive coordinator for. This is my favorite part of the year, dude. Within a month, we’ll be in summer camp and then the fun starts.

I love all sports (well, except for curling), but this is really where my heart is at. Not to take anything away from baseball or basketball, but football is truly America’s sport. Violence, aggression, women in skimpy clothing and alcohol. What’s more American than that?
