Football is the current-day gladiator sport. We're the spectators, they're the participants who get paid millions to play a game. Despite that, and riches and fame aside, they're dudes with families, like us.

I vaguely recall the Darryl Stingley hit that paralyzed him for life, and Joe Theisman's injury (this weekend's Texas Tech LB injury was very reminiscent of that), and you ain't human if you didn't feel horrible for those dudes, fan or not. I vehemently dislike the Cowboys, but I remember when an Eagles defender planted Michael Irvin head first into the turf, ending Irvin's career; it didn't feel right to cheer it. To this day, I have a negative view of Irvin, but hoping for injury on anyone is cruel, harsh, and rather sadistic, if you ask me.

Does **** THEM WITH A RED HOT POKER count as wishing injury???
No as I have a sneaky suspicion lady's arse could handle that and then some.

I may have been slightly guilty, not wanting Mitch actually hurt just wanted to see him miss a series or two last week just to see if Pickett would light a fire. Maybe mud in his eye. I never want a player hurt, aside from maybe wishing bodily harm on Burfect once, but frustration lead me to wanting something to get Pickett in without jeapordizing Mitches health.

I don't wish or cheer injuries on any player - except when JuJu knocked Burfict on his *** and stood over him. I laughed at that one. Probably the only player I was ever happy to see get knocked the **** out.

Once I'm good and hammered, anything goes. It might be my clothes. It might be my better judgement.

I wished injury on Jack Tatum back in the day. More recently a Bengal or two.
