Do you have reading comprehension issues? I played football for a 6A State Championship Football team. Dozens of guys played at the major college level, even more at the junior college level. One of my former head coaches is a superstar coach in Kansas City. One of my high school friends was the head coach of a D-I university. As a matter of fact, I personally know PLENTY of guys who played in the NFL, outside of the guys I used to know that played for the Chiefs.
Your insults carry no water, Champ.

While I will say a lot of players are bigger and faster now, they also have sooo many more rules like no clotheslines leading with helmet etc. etc. I don't think there is a big comparrison myself. That is just MY opinion.

Hey Grandpa, this isn't 1960. Jim Brown wouldn't be the biggest, strongest running back on the block in 2009. That doesn't mean he wouldn't be successful but JFC, this isn't an era where guys sell insurance six months out of the year and go to training camp to get in shape.
These guys LIVE football, 24-7, 365 days a year. The have nutritionists, take supplements (legal and illegal) and quite honestly, are FREAKS of ****ing NATURE.
If tactics like clotheslining were allowed, we'd see deaths each week. How would YOU like to have a 6'6, 275 pound man running 40 miles an hour at you, unprotected? Do you think you'd survive?
Get a grip on reality.
