I like watching Jacked up as much as anybody. BUT , clips like JACKED UP are whats wrong with pro football in this day and age. More about flash and dash instead of actual substance. Case in point.......Sean Taylor. YUP, he can lay the wood. BUT what makes more of an impact on a particular game, A couple nice hits he put on or being burned by Crayton for a TD AND being the deep man that was burned on the Glenn TD????Just something to think about....

I guess you're against the multiple NFL Films videos that show nothing but hard hits from the 60's, 70's, 80's and before huh?

People have been watching those big hits since the beginning of football.. its not like its a "new fad" or anything and its not like that's the ONLY clips the media shows from the games.

..........NO, not at all. As I said, I do enjoy watching the clips, always have. But, pretty hard to deny that Pro football, actually pro sports in general have become much more about what LOOKS good rather than what IS good. As NBA players get SMOKED by the Europeans on a regular basis now, As in pro football where the rules have basically hamstrung cornerbacks to allow for MORE offense. As in pro baseball where we have tiny fences, steroids, juiced balls, and pitchers are forced to throw the ball right into the batters wheel house or its called a ball. They havent enforced the rulebook strikezone in YEARS.. Whens the last time anybody has seen a high strike called at the numbers???A long time ago..LOL The Nba where players are allowed to waltz to the basket without a traveling call. Or pro boxing where some heavyweight makes this grand entrance acting the fool only to be rudely knocked out by some Russian who just goes about his business. All the major heavyweight titles are now held by Eastern europeans. Anyone else see a problem w:bang2: ith this????

I thought Roy's hit on Betts should've made it. I've rewinded that play and hit several times.
