Ya, I think thats it.

Man, am I the only one here that hates, HATES Dirtbag pieces of shit in this sport? The NFL has gotten so perverted by these POS "thugs" and "gangsters", fuckin idiots. The way they act makes me so sick. Ridiculous. I really wish character meant something nowadays, but just like the sport, the more you pay these immature dirtbag pieces of shit from da hood, the more SHIT they are gonna do to embarass themselves and the game. Its just a shame that most of the good athletes have to be from that walk of life, or from that rung on the social ladder that if they get a one hundred dollar bill, they dont know how to act.

Stay True to da hood, homies!!!!!!

You have to realize that a lot of guys that come from the hood never get in trouble. It's the media that crams the bad stuff down our throats. For every hood rat or Michael Vick, there are 50 guys that grew up poor and from the hood that don't get in trouble...like our own London Fletcher or someone like Marcellus Wiley. Keep that in mind. Remember, people can't control where they come from but they can control what they do if they get out from the hood.

Definitely. Curtis Martin and Donald Driver also come to mind.

One of the stories that sticks out in my mind was an ESPN special on Donald Driver. I loved it, and would like to see more stuff like that, but those stories take too long to tell in a "twitter" world of one-liners. And we can't feel better about ourselves if someone is doing something positive. Not hating on broadcast companies but ratings drive up ad revenue and stories that let us judge people to be worse than us mean more profit.

I know and it's sad. I'd MUCH rather hear about stories like Driver than Michael Vick and his hood brother and friends.

That's nice to hear, but being on the other side I'll just say that when we try to tell those stories people don't seem to hear/see/read it nearly as much as many claim they would.

That said, don't miss...http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/06/21...ly-18-22/54793

I've seen those and it's a very nice gesture on the athletes part. But to be honest it's kind of cheesy.
