Whether or not you agree or not, it was a very cool human interest story, and a kinda sad one at the same time. Who knew lumbering John Scott, is more educated than you, me and 90% of the members on this board? Who knew, the players, even from teams he terrorized, still think he's a great guy?
He really is the last of his species, so you should be overjoyed this is probably it for him and his kind.

Oh please. The league doesn't make anyone play a dirty game. The league didn't tell Torres to run guys over and over again.
Players choose to play dirty.
Lame excuse for a player who chose to take his game too far. There have been lots enforcers and straight out goons that played the game a lot cleaner than Scott did.
