I'm just getting so damned tired of the thuggishness and the gangsta ball mentality that's all over professional sports these days. What the heck is wrong with just hugging and high-fiving your teammates when you make a good play? Why do these guys have to go on and on and on with the taunting, the dancing, the spitting and headbutting and everything else that drags the game down to the level of a street rumble?
I wish more NFL coaches would punish these guys when their antics get out of hand. Maybe we'd see less of this crap and more football.
Sadly, these guys are conditioned to trash-talk from High School through college and into the pros. They talk-talk-talk trash while sporting their own halo. There's no better example of this crap than Shannon Sharpe. How bad did he have to talk to Derrick Thomas in order to set him off like he did?
Football alone isn't good enough for them. They have to mouth off about it.... and others pay.
