I respect Kirk because I believe him to be a decent human being. I also believe he merits respect for what he has given to the Iowa football program.

I don’t feel any sense of obligation, though. I don’t owe him anything anymore than he owes me anything. That includes respect. I’m never indebted to anyone on that basis, especially someone whom I only know because of a sport.

So even if someone merits respect, you don’t owe him respect? Sorry, I don’t get it.

Imagine writing paragraph after paragraph. Spending god knows how many hours in this one thread typing up stuff where no sane person will read at this point.

Imagine if you actually read it rather than being afraid you might be proven wrong about something.

The posts really aren't that long. You're reading multiple posts that amount to more words; are you not? They are in depth, with plenty of supporting content and reasoning. Who really cares about a quick opinion?
