I saw that the other night and thought it was pretty uncool.
Still, boo fucking hoo. I'm sure there is more to the story than what was said by the commentators and the haters on that website.
Go Chargers!!!

I remember in HS, I had a player from the other team me he was going to 'skull#@$% my girlfriend' in earshot of one of the refs... I just laughed at him. Players talk mad trash during football games and I'm sure it has been perfected to an art form by many NFL players.

ummm, yeah they are...or MOST are anyway. It's all about ME-ME-ME-ME instead of the team...Very few "Superstars" give a shit about anything but themselves. The ones you see who participate in civic activities do so because the teams force them to do it...not usually because they "want to give something back to the community." To believe otherwise is naive.

While that looks less than classy, at least he didn't whine like a bitch about where he wanted to play ball (Eli).
I also didn't hear much from his mouth while he was riding the bench behind Breeze(sp?).
Anyways it's probably just a psych 'em out mouth running thing... a la London Fletcher. Now that boy has a mouth.

That's pretty much how I see it. I guess for me it's shown most prominently in the contracts. Let's take A-Rod for example, I believe his last contract was what...$300m? Not that he should be forced to (or that I can really blame him), but if he had even taken two thirds of that ($200m isn't much though...) that's quite a bit of salary cap room for the team to play with, possibly acquiring better players, coaches, whatever.
But nope, must..have..$300..mil.
another single example :roll: yes, arod has been a douche for sometime now, no surprise there. moss took a huge paycut to play for the pats. i guess by your and Boomers figuring, then 2/3 of the athletes don't care about anyone but themselves?Originally posted by: BlackTigers91

and i'm sure you both are privy to any and all charitable contributions players make?
yeah, teams encourage players to get involved in their communities, why wouldn't they? don't pretend you know what and why people do for others.
look at willy nelson... clearly old hippies are all tax evaders. to think otherwise is naive.
He'll be the reason why they don't do anything in the playoffs.He'll be the reason why they don't do anything in the playoffs.
