So you believe there is only happy or unhappy?
You and Mghee think I can't be happy winning 10 million dollars but happier to win 50 million dollars?

Freaking ridiculous.

Man... if I could win 50 million... I’d solve so many of VN’s personal problems. I’d really be a blessing. Not gonna lie though... some of you are getting sniped.

I disagree, Hank; but, hell...I could never debate one over the other...love them both dearly, and both were as great as great gets. What other school can legitimately say that have produced 2 of the top 10 greatest football players of all time?

I shook his hand once in my early twenties. I'm 6'3 and back then 210 pounds and he towered over me, probably outweighed me by close to 100 pounds(then). But the most amazing thing to me was how his hand devoured mine. I have never seen hands that big in person. I was kinda star-struck and all I said to him was that my Granddaddy said he was the best defensive player he had ever seen

That's awesome, Dog.

Not only that but also 3 of the top 5 (maybe top 3?) all-time(NFL) at their position. Witten, Manning and White.

You could probably make an argument for Atkins too but that was so long ago and definitely before my time haha

Total agreement.
And Atkins was before my time as well, but I have heard the many stories about what a monster he was, and how great he was.

Ok..Hurd was good in a lot of ways. His actions his last season pissed me off, and I admit that colors my feelings about him.

Still....Kamara should have been the #1 weapon on that offense.

It's really not that hard to separate the two things. It's kind of small brained to not be able to admit someone is good at something because you have a problem with them personally tbh.

Putting people in groups such as "generations" is pointless and stupid. A person should be judged as an individual. Conformity sucks. Just do you.

It also is fairly accurate on a macro-level. Of course everyone is different individually but groups can always be divided on a large scale level based on certain factors.

You and me both.
Never wanted my family to NEED for anything, past that, helping others has always made me feel better than anything else.
A few being sniped goes without saying, of course.😂

Alright how many of you made an ass of yourself making fun of millennials only to realize you were one? Show of ✋ please.

You're not gonna get many to own up to it no matter what. For some reason, Millennials became first a partisan punching bag (oh teh noes they're so entitled!) and then just a punching bag for everyone who wasn't a Millennial. Personally, I fall in between. I'm at the tail end of Gen X and the beginning of Y/Millennials. That hard timelines would put me in X but demographers have proposed that we belong a bridge generation (a tiny slice in time where a group shares markers for two generations) and tbh, I think that's true. Those of us between 77-80 (and really that could be extended in both directions a few years) share qualities with both Xers and Millennials.

At any rate, the whole generational warfare thing has always perplexed me. The older generations raise the younger ones and are responsible for how they turn out so it's always seemed hypocritical to criticize too much.

Yea it’s crazy. Imagine the career Eric Berry could’ve had if he didn’t get cancer too. He probably would be up there with Ed Reed and Ronnie Lott

I think a lot of smart football people put him up there regardless.

He’ll be a hall of famer and that’s about as high as you can go.
