Maybe I'm just an old fogy, but I don't wish for serious injuries to befall any of these guys. Yes, I live in Patriots country, but I'm not hoping that something bad happens to Brett Favre. Professional football is these guys' livelihoods. Maybe you object to the amounts of money they get paid, but remember that salaries are highly inequitable, and most players have a career that spans fewer than four seasons. Then they return to the real world, sell insurance, and try to recover from the aftereffects of injuries like concussions.

Professional football is a brutal and often cruel game. I wish all the players a safe and healthy season.
