Back in the day...

I have to say I am so proud of you. Well done. I bet those cowards weren't so tough when you got them one on one?
Full respect!

to this day when I go home they still look for me.    I only repaid their kindness in hospital bills of their own, granted I was young and dumb....I'm still on of those things though.

maybe they act like kids now....because they were not allowed to act like kids when they were kids.

Disagree.  In fact, the opposite: they act like kids because they never were allowed to act like grown ups.  Being a star athlete usually encourages perpetual youth, e.g. abundant casual sex, partying, forgiveness or lenient sentences for DUIs, assaults, etc.  As long as you remain a star you remain on college spring break.  No growing up necessary, and in many cases, discouraged.

Obviously, not true of all star athletes, but true for many.  I don't condone the bad behavior but I also understand it.  When someone is basically treated as if invincible and infallible since they first learned to throw a ball, it's not hard to see why they end up going too far sometimes.

Stories like that always make me think the lunatics are finally running the asylum.

This doesn't have anything to do with the topic of hazing in the NFL.

What else did you eject with that buttcam prep?

This is twice in 2 days Joel...

Please don't make me.
