Childress crying brought all the attention that will ever be brought to this game. No forum post will come close... The referees will watch as close as they can because of all the crying about Favre from fans, reporters, columnists, and Favre and Childress them selves.

I have played the game on many levels. This is a brutal sport. There is nothing gentlemanly about it except the coin toss. It is 60 minutes of grown men throwing them selves at other grown men attempting to break every bone in the others body. Playing at 100% speed is trying to leave your oponents teeth at the point of contact and his body 5 yards behind in one hit.

The brutalness of our defense is no more than Defenses of the Steelers, Raiders, Bears of past. There were just no panzy asses crying about them in those days.

I am going to ignore that last statement as if it never happened since we are on the same side of the ball.

As far as for Late hits... a late hit 1-2 seconds after the release is difficult to avoid when your running full speed weighing 280 lbs.. I do not condone the blatant late hits 3-5 seconds after the whistle or ball release.

It takes two full steps to change your direction when running full out, and good luck trying to stop on a dime when your built like a Mack truck.

However i can also say... If their offensive Linemen would do their job there would be no hits on Favre at all.
