It's too easy to delete an email. Real mail will have a greater impact because it all has to be opened, logged and (presumably) read.

My piece of mind and integrity are worth so much more to me than a bunch of overpaid, uncivilized, no necked, thick skulled, thin skinned, felons with delusions of relevancy. Football has been a vast wasteland for the last 20+ years. All show and NO go. I don’t care whether it works or not.

Paul - A "play action pass" means the play starts like a run, with a fake handoff to a runner and some feigned run blocking. This is intended to forestall a pash rush by deception. The QB hides the ball as he moves into position to throw, sometimes throwing on the run if the defense hasn't been fooled. In a traditional pass the quarterback drops back quickly (or receives the ball in a shotgun formation) and the blockers form a protective pocket for him immediately. 109.

Sports have provided a special forum for achievement because someone's level of skill or ability has nothing to do with their religion, culture, ethnicity, social class status, sexual orientation or - up until now - their political views. Sport has been a sort of metaphor for Democracy and freedom because people throughout sports were totally free to realize their fullest potential unencumbered by extraneous and irrelevant factors. Now we have now witnessed a person being excluded from participation in the field of sport - even if at ownership - solely because of their political views. What an absurd shame!

They are a politically correct anti American organization and showed this at the last super bowl in miami where they refused to allow an ad in the program to recruit for the Border Patrol. That and their taxpayer financed stadiums and police protection on game days show they are just another taxpayer subsidized business. I haven’t watched the nfl in years and will not.

Michael Vick admitted to financing a ‘dog fighting gambling ring’…but he admitted to only being involved in the torture of dogs and not involved in any way with gambling on the dog fights.

Torturing animals does not get a professional player banned for life gambling would.

I believe he was involved in an illegal animal torturing gambling operation so I can’t support any professional team that Michael Vick plays for.

Email them and ESPN and tell them you are contacting every advertiser of the NFL and you will not buy anything from them either! Of course it will work. There has to be some sort of consequence, otherwise this sort of bs will not go away people. Just don’t buy NFL merchandise.

Of course it will work. There has to be some sort of consequence, otherwise this sort of bs will not go away people.

Too many thugs playing a kids game for money had long ago soured me to the prospect of supporting the NFL with even so much as my watching the game on t.v.. However,the prospect of Rush buying into a team had me interested in see how St. Louis would change with a new ownership group with Rush involved. I was actually looking forward to seeing the game for the first time in almost 5 years. Now after last week I will continue to abstain from watching the NFL nor will I be purchasing anything NFL related. I have been boycotting the NFL for years.
