Funny how everyone has got bigger and faster over the last 20 years in the NFL but not in anyother sports... or indeed non-NFL life.

Your right, trying to run over your wife shouldn't be handeled by sports, it should be handeled in the courts.
If you go and smack the crap out of your wife and the judge gives you probation, your job can't fire you, so I'm not sure what action you're looking for?
As for "bigger and faster" actually, people have gotten bigger and faster in almost every sport and as Newz said above, it has a lot to do with training.
High School sports teams start hitting the weights as freshman, some kids start working out as young as 10yrs old.
The increase in stnegth/speed etc... has more to do w/ modern workour routines. Mickey Mantle did 12oz curls, todays top athletes treat their body like a temple, not just workouts but diet.
