Sperm Edwards Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Here are some other words: compiler ballhog capkiller overrated choker fingertackled lol He is & was a way better person than most of the rest of the players in the league, but that didn't help us on Sundays when we were up against a real defense. He was durable like I've never seen before, but that doesn't change that for a decade he did very ordinary things once the ball was in his hands.

Bugg Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Warrior God, does that make me nuts. Martin was a football player; a hard and physical job, but nowhere near as hard as the lot of a soldier, sailor, Marine or airman, or after Kellen Winlsow, Jr. said soemsthing similarly stupid. A ballgame is not a war nor a battle. No one is shooting at Curtis Martin. You would think with the things that our fighting men and women are now enduring every day would stop people from saying things like that. Silly me. The word is OVERRATED.

jetophile Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Criticism is one thing, but I will never understand Jets fans ripping Curtis Martin to the extent they do. It's like spitting on your own floor. Does he have to be the best running back in the history of football to get an accolade? I realize he had his limitations, but he was a great Jet. All the dissection about what DOESN'T make him "great", who cares? As a matter of fact, they should have honored him at the Home Opener. He'll probably get something cheesy, so maybe that'll make the haters happy. Thank you, Curtis. And here's to 1,697. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean no insult, but think it's simply an inappropriate way to describe any athlete. You are overreacting. There are different degrees of warriors. I mean boxers and MMA fighters aren't being shot at, but if they don't fit the definition of the word warrior, then something is wrong with your definition of the word. Curtis Martin took the punishment of a boxer or MMA fighter, and football players in general engage in a very violent sport. I respect our troops too. A lot of my friends are either serving or have served. By definition the word warrior can be used to describe anyone that is engaged in a struggle. Do you throw a fit everytime a cancer patient is described as a warrior too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who use that word to describe an athlete have obviously never been in one either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean no insult, but think it's simply an inappropriate way to describe any athlete. Bugg agree to disagree. To me the fighting men and women are above and beyond a warrior. Maybe the ultimate warriors. I don't mean the goof ball from the WWF. In no way did I mean to slight them. I am not sure if there is a word that can describe my feelings towards how great I think the men and women of the US Armed Forces are. For a lot of (not all) football, hockey, rugby, etc players I think they are warriors on the field or surface they play their games. Sorry if you were offended. BTW like the quotes in you sig.
