"man up", "tough love": just how many euphemisms does the NFL use to describe bullying?

I have a love/hate relationship with Friday Night Lights - it's a great show, but the culture it examines is totally disgusting to me!

If that culture bothers you, turn it off. The coach in Friday Night Lights was a good, lenient one. If they'd made a show about harsh coaches, and put a few players on steroids, that would be closer to the truth IMO.
