Does anyone think that NFL players are having fun when they get the snot beat out of them? [View all]

I mean, I heard a college player last week talking about how much fun it was when they were in a brute, physical battle. He said it was like being kids again in the back yard....

Just wonder if there's any of those same feelings when the players get to the pro level....
