    The NFL is the world's best sport. A lot of money, physicality, violence. Just about every great movie has these elements too, problem is fictional characters can live forever, real people can't. The NFL just watched some promising players leave; Eric Borland, Patrick Willis, Calvin Johnson and other good role players have for health reasons. This may not start a revolution, but if the best players leave in their prime, the term "superstar" has to be watered down. Rules changed, but were needed, they say at age 30 there done, but guys like Terell Owens still run a 4.4. If you adjust but don't take care of the adjusters, they will find a way; get the money leave early.

    It's more or less customary to say hello first.

    Do violent sports, in particular NBFL, cause kids to be violent?

    I reject your premise.

    Just how violent is the NBFL compared to the NFL?

    And Marcus, we will continue discussing your topic if and only if you fetch us beer.

    Exactly. Money, physicality and violence do not a great sport make.
