Let's hope it's behind him after $100 mil.

Point is, perhaps we're more forgiving when the "thugs" are on our side. Either way, there's a good aggression that doesn't hurt anyone but kicks ass on the field. I sure love seeing Romo & TO getting the living snot smacked out of them..

ps. I miss Sean Taylor, what a freaking defense it could have been. sigh.

Yeah. I don't condone what AH did and I think he regrets it. To be perfectly honest, I probably would have been a lot more outraged if it wasn't a Cowgirl that he stomped. Just being honest. If he continued playing like that I wouldn't even want him on our team, but I think he's put that kind of stuff behind him and has moved on to be better than doing that type of thing. I agree that the type of aggession you're talking about is a good thing. I personally think it makes you a better player. Especially on defense. Fear and intimidation is a part of the game and can be very beneficial to a player. Of course you must have talent to go along with it. Sean Taylor embodied talent and intimidation. The job he did on T.O.'s head, amongest others, was remarkable. I miss him and I wish I could stop thinking about "what could have been". He was truly a great football player.
