...If Hines Ward played fullback or tight end, he would never be voted the dirtiest player in the NFL as he was last week on an SI.com poll (of a very limited amount of NFL players). Most of those guys should be embarrassed to be taken out the way they are by a guy of Ward's age and size. Many of them complained about being blindsided. That's mostly because they aren't looking to be hit like that by a receiver. He's been in the league long enough now that all opposing defensive players should be...

So anyway, we're what, halfway through the season now? I've been in first place since week 2 or week 3 and have controlled it pretty well. Our points...

I viewed the post w/the You Tube video of the NASCAR Mexico driver, Carlos Pardo meeting his untimely end, and was moved to write this.
We watch, cheer, buy merchandise, tease each other, criticize, praise and make fun of these guys, but I think, (at least I know I do,) we forget how near death they are just to satiate their competitive fires, to entertain us and to make a very comfortable living.
