<p>First, from the New York Giants&#8217; <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/2010/12/02/2010-12-02_giants_safety_antrel_rolle_compares_booing_nfl_players_to_booing_soldiers_coming.html" target="_blank">Antrel Rolle</a> comes this gem:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;They want to make it that guys paid this much money for a ticket. Yeah, I  understand that, I understand completely. We risk ourselves out there on the field each and every day also. When soldiers come home from Iraq  you don&#8217;t boo them. I look at it the same way. I take my job seriously.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Shades of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3X60mrYO1UU" target="_blank">Kellen Winslow Jr</a>.</p>
<p>At least Rolle had enough sense to recognize his stupidity and apologize.  I&#8217;m not sure <a href="http://blog.al.com/tscarritt/2010/12/tom_scarritt_make_our_football.html" target="_blank">Tom Scarritt</a> has that much self-awareness.</p>
<blockquote><p>Why is it that we police college sports more aggressively than we police our politics?</p></blockquote>
<p>Dude, you live in Alabama and you can ask a question like that?</p>
