Thousands of people congregated to the avenue perpendicular to the Arena where this took place every night of the playoffs. Traffic could not pass. It was mostly violence-free. Women were taking their junk out. Clearly alcohol fueled mayhem. They called it the red mile, due to the colors of the Calgary Flames jerseys. This now happens every year they get to the playoffs.

Is this mentality in Detroit as well?
That is not really the most moral, dignified and self Integral way to go about is it?

Yeah, I guess that it does take more talent to play sports.

UGH! ME KICK FOOTBALL! ME THROW BALL REAL HARD! UGH! BALL GO REAL FAR! DUH!!!

Yeah! That takes even more talent than being a Shakespearean Actor!

I stand corrected!

It could be worse. On another note though, this type of thing has happened a lot in the past, but not only at sports events. Music events can have this effect on peole, as can religious events. It's not a sports thing, it's a people thing. I'd say.

That was a very poor representation of just how hard it is to play football at the professional level.

Oh yes! Physically it's very hard to play football.

Mentally, it's easy, because it doesn't take any brains!

But yes, physically it's hard. I'll grant you that!

That's why football players sweat like pigs and smell like pigs!

But pigs are smarter!

You've never played football at even a high school level, so how would you know how much it takes mentally?

I once played basketball in the 5th grade.

My teacher was a demented psychopath who enjoyed humiliating me in the PE class in front of the other students.

None of them had an ounce of brains!

So, why would playing football in high school require any more brains than basketball in grade school? Eh?

I have seen Kindergartners playing in a sandbox who showed more intelligence and creativity than even Collage or professional football players.

I rest my case!

Case closed!

NEXT CASE!!!

Remember, I'm da judge around here!

Got that? JIMBO???

Before you proclaim yourself "The Judge" while attacking other people's intelligence, you should probably spell college right.

You get the point of this website, then. Too bad Polite24 does not care to even try.

I don't know. I think both sides of the arguments he participates in have moments of logical clarity.
