The problem is, we now have a football culture that is heading to a very, very, very dark place. One so dark, that even one night after a kid gets killed on a punt return in a high-school game, a Sacrificial Lamb player from Southeast Missouri State serves up this gem:

These motherfuckers are making no pretense whatsoever about it anymore:
SOMEBODY IS GOING TO MOTHERFUCKING DIE IN A MAJOR GAME WITH THE WHOLE GODDAMNED WORLD WATCHING!!! AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT IT WILL BE BY DESIGN!!!!
It isn't just going to happen in a high-school game in front of family and friends. And it isn't going to be a fucking accident!!
We've got brain-damaged monsters going out there and deciding that, if they have to spend the rest of their lives with their brains all turned into soup, they'll do the same to everyone else!!
And that's the thing: Even as I'd like to talk about the referees, Vegas implications, game-political situations, foolish fans who believe this is more real than the WWE and all that stuff, I'm getting (JUSTIFIABLE!!) pushback from several readers of this blog.
And it's hits like this -- INTENTIONAL hits like this -- that are why!
Forget that the kid got tossed. Forget that the rules were applied. These fuckers don't care!!!
It is obvious that this kid -- this fucking idiot -- decided that if he was going to have his pride sacrificed to make an extra buck or two for his university, he was going to headbutt the opposing quarterback.
And this country is going to applaud this and wonder about the pussification of America that we don't let it get worse.
My response: "Welcome to football in 2015. Welcome to why my friends don't want me to talk football in 2015!"
