Jacksonville vs. Greenbay

Anybody else see Robert Ferguson get clotheslined by Donovin Darius?




Not a huge fan of either team but that's just such a cheap shot. I noticed they got him (Darius) out of the stadium pretty fast after he was ejected....that crowd was pi$$ed!
Frerguson just got a sprained neck so he'll be okay, but damn what a shot he took!

I missed that, but he needs more than just a 1 game ejection for **** like that. These guys are paid a lot of money to play this sport, and they need to act professionally.

Absolutley. Out a number of games and good sized fine.

Clothes lining used to be a major part of the game, which is about beating the **** out of the next guy. Someone got hurt, life goes on.

Agreed. Personally, I miss old school defensive minded football games. Today's rules in the NFL are all geared toward protecting offensive players so we'll see "exciting" high scoring games. Give me smashmouth rough and dirty defensive football anyday.

Besides, it would be hypocritical of me to bitch on Darius for that hit, considering Jack Lambert is my all time favorite player - a guy known for punching, kicking, biting, etc who lived for hurting people.

Professionally? These guys are paid millions to_knock the crap out of eachother. What's wrong with what he did, and why is everybody so pissed???

I know that, but a cheap shot like that could leave somebody paralyzed or worse.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a good brawl, but not cheapshots.

I'm with Ya_there. Time was in football when guys like Dick Butkis, Jo Greene, Alan Page, etc got bonuses for taking people's heads off, not suspensions and fines. If you don't like violence in football, take up tennis or golf. If I am going to pay $100 for a ticket, $50 - $100 in food/beverage, $30 to park, etc I wanna see heads pop off and bodies on the field. I don't need to see fines and suspensions because some guy tackled to hard or made a knife gesture to his throat. And I don't need to see a play twice to know when an official f***ed up.

You know I paid another visit to the Patton Tank Museum at Ft. Knox, Ky. recently. They have Gen. Patton's actual football jersey and "helmet" enshrined there (among his other effects). The helmet was miniscule compared to the giant steel domes they were today. I mean, I have baseball caps thicker than that!!!

yay, my beloved Jaguars won.

A large majority of why I don’t get into sports has nothing to do with sports. It has everything to do with excessive salaries, and strikes because they aren’t being paid enough, BlaaBlaa. KingO said it best when he listed all of the costs associated with viewing a single game…and those are cheap seat prices, we’re talking near a combined $230 for two people for a 3 hour game. That’s ridiculous…for that much money I could get a hotel room near by for the whole day, and a cheap hooker to watch the game with me on the TV, providing they don’t block the game because tickets didn’t sell out. You see where I’m going with that don’t you…I hate what goes on off the field.

The other reason I hate sports, either your team sucks, almost makes it, or goes all the way one year, but then next year it’s hit or miss…even if they win championships, what can they do to top that next year…

It’s a marketing quagmire, everyone’s got a hand in it but me. Perhaps that explains my disdain.
