Calling someone a 'bitch' would also be offensive to female dogs.And if point 2 stands then why are you still arguing against me on the offensivness of the way you used the word.
Why do either of these offenses matter?

After having seen someone called Allen (?), supposedly the strongest guy in the NFL, point conceded. He's huge. But doesn't look like he could run what so ever. He can bench 700 lb, so not quite 1.5 times the 500 lb figure or more.Mikey wrote:Well, bench-pressing 500 lbs. is certainly no great feat for an American football offensive lineman. As I said, some of these guys can do full sets of reps of standing military presses w/ 300 lbs., and some have bench-pressed 1.5 times your 500-lb. figure, or more.
That point was a bit of friendly banter. Friendly competition.But it really isn't the point. I was simply responding to what you called them. The fact that there are other physically-gruelling sports out there doesn't make the players of this sport... er... kittens.
Ack! You just had to say 'torn ligament'. Trust me, you tear an ACL, you won't be running or even walking much, let alone playing sports unless you luck out big time and get a successful surgery. The failure rate of ACL surgeries is 70%. That and the excessive price are why I never got mine fixed.Mikey wrote:...all manner of torn cruciate ligaments...

Well, the surgeries are far more common and effective when a professional sports franchise is footing the bill and fielding their own doctors, but you're right. Although, I believe ICL surgeries are more succesful than ACL's. Sorry to hear about your predicament.Tsukiyumi wrote:Ack! You just had to say 'torn ligament'.

I will stand by my opinion of them being the strongest. However, in the same post I comment that linemen can't run very far before basically falling over, therefore they would not be the fittest etc. Every real sport has it's extremes.

That is the potrayal it is given. I don't disagree that it has a certain level. But just not the level it is given.
