Sports don't define us; it is not what we live for.

The great thing about media now is that you have 360 degrees worth of opinions and can find whatever you want and tune out whatever you want.

Professional football is the most violent thing your eyes have ever seen.

Chats are so new to newspapers, historically. But they're so incredibly valuable because editors/reporters/columnists get to find out what's on the minds of our readers, what you think we should be writing about, what ticks you off, what makes you happy. Sometimes it can confirm what you think readers are interested in; sometimes it can turn you around 180 degrees.

Lombardi, Shula, Landry and Gibbs were innovators. Bill Walsh was a visionary . . . .

God, I'm glad I grew up in a time when kids followed sports in the newspaper and on TV and knew every sport.

Nothing is a violent as football and I bet you like. Just say you don't like it, or can't identify, don't come up with excuses like "It's too violent" while you wear some team's NFL jersey.
