Getting it off my chest

Beyond all that you would rather believe he's LYING when he says it was an accident because then you can say you have no respect for liars...no no respect for players who deliberately injure other players.

I don't think many (if any) players go out there WANTING to injure another player.  There are a few who want to hit hard and make the other player hurt and think about it (Harrison said that a few seasons ago.  Did you say how much respect you had for him for admitting it?)  There has been one the past few seasons who has tried to injure AFTER the play and try to do it in a sneaky manner (Burfict).

Sometimes there is a late hit or action AFTER the play when emotions get the better of people.  That is NOT going out to deliberately injure.

Either way I'll go with players apologizing over wanting them to "own up" to something that isn't true.

I had this nice long response all typed out about how you're now trying to twist my words (quick synopsis - I have no respect for Harrison but at least he's honest, I don't respect Burfict but at least he doesn't issue bullshit apologies, and I don't respect Shazier because he's a dancing clown), but my phone decided it wanted to change to Web view and deleted it. So I'll just type out the last sentence I had down.

I guess if Burfict had apologized for trying to crack open Brown's noggin, you'd be forced to respect him by your own admission.
