"I'm rooting for the Colts because of what the Patriot players did on the Chargers home field last week after the game. They don't have any class at all. And their coach is a piece of trash of a person."
I keep forgetting that the Charges have so much class, but then Ron Burgondey, er I mean LaDanian Tomilson keeps telling us. If imitating that stupid steroid dance after a game is classless - what is actually doing the dance?
I don't understand why anybody gets upset about that. There's nothing wrong with celebrating a tight come from behind victory. And there's nothing wrong with throwing back a stupid celebration at a player, especially when said celebration looks like some sort of wierd rage induced spasm and the guy with the celebration got suspended for steroid use this season. There's a simple rule in all sports: if you don't want anybody dancing on your field win the damn game. And if you don't want somebody making fun of "your dance" don't have one.
It's wrong when your the visiting team.
While my heart was broken in 03 I will never forget the class of the Marlins when they won the 03 NLCS at Wrigley Field.
"There's a simple rule in all sports: if you don't want anybody dancing on your field win the damn game. And if you don't want somebody making fun of "your dance" don't have one."
Amen.
And don't tell three-time Super Bowl Winners how to act until you've won a playoff game.
If you're going to be scumbags at least be original scumbags.
Class acts give the ball to the refs and celebrate like men do with their teammates.
And they were on the visiting field too.
So when is he gonna live up to his reply? The only Lombardi trophy in the Colts' trophy case was "earned" in Baltimore!
The ignorance in your post is astounding.
What exactly did the Patriots do that was so classless Goof on Merriman's lights out dance?
Please...
The Chargers talked trash before and during the game. They lost!! So they start whining like a bunch of babies.
What happened to all the tough guy Chargers talking trash during the game?
To quote Rosie Colvin (Pat's linebacker) The lights are out B*tches, you forgot to pay your bill!!! BWWWHAAAAAAAA!!!
As to your comment about Bill Belichick, you have no idea what you are talking about. How and why is he a piece of trash?
If you're going to act like scumbags act like original scumbags.
LT is a class act. The Patriot players who did that have no class.
And their coach is a complete scumbag.
Fallacy of the dramatic example. But your other points are well taken.
Ewe stuk in Massachewsits?
They acted like they haven't been there before.
Celebrating is one thing. Being classless and not even original is another.
At least if you are going to act like 2 year olds be original about it.
Bellicheck if half the stories of his off field behavior are true he is a scumbag.
If Manning loses again, I might feel sorry for him. OK, I won't, really. Go Pats!
Most of them off the field live fairly normal upperclass suburban lives. My uncle lives in one of the popular neighborhoods for Bears players (the daughter of their long time publicist lives there, which draws many of the players), he runs into them all the time in stores and at parties (he made friends with the daughter before realizing who she was, you should see some of the swag she dumped on him when she was cleaning her basement). A bunch of regular normal guys who worry about their lawns and forget to put on the storm windows before the weather turns just like everybody else.
No the Patriots were sore and classless winners.
That's good to know.
I believe they have already beaten the Pats several times.
I guess you don't now or never have lived in the Boston area, or you'd realize how those three words color the rest of the comment.
My Dad lives in Lake Forest and sees them all the time.
Lovie even gave him 3 pennies once so my Dad wouldn't get 97 cents in change once.
They also attend my Dad's church.
