Very funny- its weird to think that some of the highest paid people in England and indeed the world have so few brain cells between them. Bodes well for the rest of humanity doesn't it? Mx

Actually I'd tend to agree on the namby pamby aspect!

But as my sport was rugby league where you stay on the pitch for the full 80 minutes, attack and defence, and don't wear armour, I don't have a much higher opinion of American footballers to be honest!
