Oso planning to go pro
He didn't want an opposing team's sign in his home stadium so he tore it down. It had nothing to do with the sign not being about him. If a Packer player did that, GB fans would think it was awesome. Rodgers wouldn't do it though because he's far too image-conscious. Honestly, I feel like you simply don't like Cam so you're trying to find reasons to justify it.
Okay he tore a sign down because it was an opposing team's sign. That doesn't make it any better. That's a punk move and I'd call it a punk move if it were $cam, Rodgers, Manning, Haha Clinton Dix, Josh Sitton, anyone. It's a flat out punk move.I actually liked $cam for most of his time in college. Then I realized he was a punk (not a criminal like the guys 82 mentions, there's a difference between a punk and a criminal).
So, do you not like Clay Matthews? He's a world class punk. Rodgers is an overly-sensitive, aloof douche who cares strongly about his personal statistics. Is that better than being a punk?I just want to see where you draw the line
Clay Matthews is a punk? For what? He's a pretty boy, but I'm not sure that being a pretty boy makes somebody a "world class punk."Yes, caring about personal statistics is better than being a punk lol. I can accept a quarterback being willing to take a sack over throwing a pick more than I can accept a quarterback telling a heckler he's going to "smack the sh!t" out of him or tearing down a sign a fan made lol. Guess that makes me a fanboy of Rodgers's
Thanks. This answers my question. Packers = GoodNon-Packers who are talented = BadGot it.
I've worked with the Mannings for a decade because of his relationship with Directv. Never came across as a douche nozzle. We spend days with these guys on shoots, etc. Just my two cents. I was cheering for him to win and I can tell you being in that stadium it felt 80% were behind him and the Broncos.
Lolololol. So good.Your turn. What makes Clay Matthews a "world class punk?"Taking a sack = as bad as telling a heckler you'll smack the sh!t out of them or ripping down personal property?Got it.Talk about an apples to oranges comparison. Holy cow lol.I think Letroy Guillon's a POS. I think Andrew Quarless is hilariously an idiot for shooting a gun and trying to hide behind a palm tree.Uh oh, there goes your theory! When a Packer does something stupid beyond *GASP!* taking a sack or *GASP* telling Collin Kaepernik he "ain't no Russell Wilson, bro" I might have a problem with it. But spraying a little water in your hair doesn't make you a punk, sorry. Has nothing to do with the team you're on.
I think what these guys do on the field is extraordinary. But to act like an ass in a restaurant because you play football is absurd. We have guys on Scoop doing God's work at the Mayo Clinic and in advanced neurological research. If anyone should feel a sense of entitlement it is those guys.
Sigh...As you've proven time and time and time and time again on the NFL thread, when it comes to football, you tend to veer into meathead territory where impartiality is a foreign concept so I'm going to let this go. That way other posters can get back to discussing the actual Super Bowl and not your angry, biased opinions of certain players.
Conveniently quit the "argument" when you're asked to clarify things that quite simply can't be clarified but put the blame on the other person in the argument. Classic.Good talk, then.
You refuse to acknowledge the obvious and then claim victory when I don't feeling like rationally spelling things out to you, an irrational fan. Classic. Enjoy your Monday.
Yes, because there's no more humble group of people than doctors.
But to your comment - there are Scoopers who contribute to advancing our understanding of patient care through their work at the Mayo Clinic or in the field of neurological science. My take is that these are the real rock stars of society; there is nothing more noble. Your comment seems to trivialize their contributions and value to society.
That was rather odd. Obviously he was getting paid to shill that sh1t beer.I hope Manning retires. Manning gets a lot of press for being a 'good guy' but he has been brazen about his extra-marital activities.And Eli? That punk has been a dick his entire life but his entry to the NFL, warning the Chargers against drafting him, merely reinforced his ridiculous sense of entitlement..
My perspective from the game80% Broncos fans. I knew two weeks ago it would be heavily favored Denver fans, but didn't think it would be that high. As loud a Super Bowl for one team as I have ever been to. Super Bowl 47 with the Pats and Giants was loud, but both teams represented well.I did sit next to two Panthers fans...they were very classy. Nice guys. Interesting observation (I'm sure some will read into it more than it needs to, but it was interesting to me). Both of these Panther fans were African American, both had Panther jerseys, neither wore a Newton jersey....guy next to me wore a Luke Kuechly jersey. During the game, he had some choice words for Cam. I finally asked him, are you a Cam fan or just like the defense. He was not much of a Cam fan by his comments. Again, I found it interesting. The number of Manning jerseys was insane, probably 85%. Some Miller, some Ware...a few Dallas Cowboys Ware jerseys also.When Newton was shown pregame, a ton of boos. Only person in the stadium that got more boos was Tom Brady who was really killed.Halftime performance...eh....I like Coldplay, but when I heard last month they were the band it made me question why.Blue Angels flyover was nice, national anthem done well and tastefully by Lady Gaga.The game....offense be damned. The seats we had about the 30 yard line and up a bit, so you could see everything very well. Denver's team speed and their D-Line was really impressive. Peyton did very little, he just didn't hurt them. Newton looked off all day. Rivera, stuck to the running game too long. Why he challenged that second call none of us could understand that...dumb. The catch or no catch. The ref that was right next to it didn't rule as he clearly didn't know, the back judge ruled it incomplete. They showed it on the two large screens, and most people in the stands around us felt like it would have been really tough to overturn the call on the field. If it was called a catch on the field, it would have stuck. If called an incomplete, would have stuck. Overall, I was happy as I wanted Manning to win. I don't dislike Cam, think he is a phenomenal athlete. That being said, I also understand that people have no problem cheering against people they deem arrogant or rubbing it in. Actually felt some of the Broncos acted that way during the game, but I guess they have the trophy so they get that opportunity.Final comment was from the Carolina fans next to me. They were getting really nervous early in the second quarter. They knew. He turned to me and said, "we don't have it today. We can't stop their penetration and we look shell shocked." I told him it's only the 2nd quarter and he said, "No, I'm telling you this is the worst I have seen this team all year. It's like we aren't even the same team". He was right.
Game question .. anyone notice at the very end .. IIRC the clock stopped with 11 seconds on the clock because of a penalty .. don't recall the penalty, but there was a 10 second run-off .. which would have left 1 second for one more play. But .. on TV they just kept showing Manning .. then suddenly "ok, game's over." Did Carolina run a play at the end and TV missed it? Or did the refs just call it?
