It's time for the NHL style enforcer to make an appearance in women's soccer. The game should be self-policed! Of course, Stu Grimson himself mmight hesitate to take on that kind of beast.

Fair enough. And in return, I freely admit to my bias. I just think you should be a little more open to the possibility that Ward is as dirty as these players say he is. I'd love to have a receiver who plays every down like he does and is as willing to block as he is, I'm just glad that his tactics are being recognized for what they are.

Cincy fans do not get a vote because Hines broke that guys jaw on a clean hit
I'm pretty sure this was a player poll. Seems pretty silly to me that you think this is somehow a Cincinnati based survey, and that's the only reason Ward gats called dirty. There's other wide receivers out there who play the game with tenacity and toughness, they don't get called dirty. As I said before, Ward leaves his feet and leads with his head, that's dirty. Players seem to feel that he hits from behind, that's dirty. Whether or not you agree, it seems to me that you're grasping at straws to invalidate this poll which, as I think I mentioned, was of players, and not just Bengal players.

I can't help but feel a bit vindicated by that survey; I've been calling Ward dirty as hell for years but, as a Bengal fan, people just think I'm biased. It drives me nuts when the announcers celebrate his tenacity after he leaves his feet and leads with his head to make a "block." When a defensive player does it, he gets flagged every time; when he does it to Ward, there is outrage on the part of both Ward and the commentary staff.

We should all just relax and watch a movie.

My son is 11 years old. He watches movies with profanity in them, he hears it from his friends, and sometimes (when I'm fixing plumbing) he hears it from me. He has been taught that just because he hears something doesn't mean it's o.k. to repeat it in school, mixed company, or society in general. There's a time and a place for profanity like when the fucking Yankees win the World Series and a time to refrain from it. Teach your child that, and he'll be fine. If his Asperger's makes that difficult, then so be it, perhaps you should refrain from allowing him to peruse sports forums. But to condescendingly tell longtime members here that your son is more educated than them because they swear in a sports forum is ridiculous. And to browbeat them because of your apparent lack of parental control is, quite frankly, bullshit. I won't swear on the Nickelodeon website, and I bet tommytrump is willing to make the same deal.

You ought to see my synagogue tights. Hot pink and covered top to bottom in obscure logos.

He's not racist or xenophobic, he's just watching the wrong sport

a dude in spandex and a weird helmet might work if it didn't fit a lot of people these days and not all of them on bikes.
Hey IRFC, what I choose to wear to church is my own damn business.
the helmet is to keep the lightning bolts off my head

OK, so I'm seeing him referred to as Mr. November all over the sports news now. If the writers want to give him that title, who the hell am I to argue. Consider any objections withdrawn.

I think Utley has captured the title.
So every great playoff performer in the future has the opportunity to take away Reggie's "Mr. October" moniker if they outperform him?

Not to take away from the badass performance of Utley, and I'm no Yankee fan, but isn't Derek Jeter "Mr. November"?

Well, I don't know the road he was on, but maybe two abreast was inappropriate. I was intimating at something like fraze; in Reno, where we have bike lanes on virtually every main street, the cyclists still choose to ride two and three abreast in traffic. I've had similar experiences of being flipped off or told to fuck off when I honk. The difference between civilized human beings and criminals is how you handle the situation. You can't attempt to kill or maim someone just because they're inconsiderate (unfortunately).

I know that sometimes cyclists can be a pain in the ass, the roads around here a littered with them the batter part of the year. Like drivers, some are polite and some are inconsiderate asshats, but Jesus, man, get a grip. You can't kill someone to make your point.
