Jacksonville vs. Greenbay

[shamus]

Seriously, the dude fecked up! He knows it, his teamates know it. The freaking world knows it.

And A-Rod had every right to slap the ball out of Arayos glove.
If your team sucks, cheat.
It's all about winning.
Pansy a$$ way to win I say.

BTW:
Buffalo is the best 3-5 team in the NFL!

Dude...they have Bledsoe...

Yeah, I have to agree. A-rude showed his true colors that night.
Damned shame, too. I didn't think he was like that. It must be something about the Yanks and/or NY...

PS
This is Bledsoe's last gasp, so it better be good. But, teh Jags have the easier schedule and teh tiebreaker.

Hey Snake! See ya in Buffalo in week 16.

And now that the Dolphins dropped one to the Dolphins, that game will be meaningless if the Steelers beat the Ravens this week. And I imagine they will - they want revenge for their only loss this season.

So Buffalo can beat up on Tommy Maddox all they want - I doubt Ben plays more than a quarter, if things go the way they're going.

Please explain cut blocking, I don't understand the terminology...

[Ya_know]

Well, you've progressed greatly since the Roman Forum haven't you KB?
Seriously, that's alot of crap!
This is a civilized SPORT! Not a forum for death and decapitation!
That is why there are rules!
I saw the replay many times, and he definitely clotheslined him.
Precedents have been made, and another will, too.

btw KB
teh Yak doesn't like sports! So, are you flirting with him??

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.

Cut and chop blocking is when an offensive lineman tries to block the defensive player below the waist. A chop block is a block to the upper to middle thigh (the safer and best low block), while a cut block is targeted at the knee or lower. Both blocks are legal as long as the defender is facing you and you are within the takle box (the imagineary line that is made around the offensive line before the snap to +/- 3 yards of the line of scrimmage), but a chop block is much better and more respected. When I played O line, our coaches motto was " Chop the tree down for the one play, but do not cut short his career".

Civilized? overgrown men beating the **** out of eachother is civilized?

Please, it is pure bloodlust why we watch, nothing more, nothing less. When I played, whether organized or just pick up tackle games, I became a different person. I was a machine that caused pain, before they could hurt me. On offense it was my job to make sure your ugly mug stayed away from the guy with the ball, and I did what it took to do so. On defense, if you had the ball, I wanted you on the ground hurting. ****, I broke a guys hand, wrist and arm playing flag football. It is a violent sport, don't pass it off as anything else.

As for prices, and wages, you are right on ya_know. My beloved Aggies are going to the cotton bowl, cheapest I could find seats were $75, for a ****ing college game. I have been offered better seats to a Texans game for $25 less???? I would rather watch it all on TV anyway, then I can get the replays for blocks, hits and other things I didn't normally see, all from the comfort of my couch, my own pisser, and a 12 pack for the price of 1 beer at the game.

It is against the rules to hit a man above the shoulders with your arm extended out like that. Why? Because people necks get broken that way. I don't think that type of move has ever been legal in the NFL. This is professional football. A game. Not a gladiator event where they are fighting to the death. It is a game where one team moves the ball down the field past another team. Hard hits? Oh yeah! Definitely,.. as long as they play by the rules. That was just a cheap shot that was made out of frustration on that Jaguar dudes part. Now if anyone knows about hard hitting it's a man by the name of Ronnie Lott. #42. Probably one of the hardest hitting players in all of football. He never did that cheap shot crap. He hit them square and made them land flat on their back. THAT'S what hitting is about,.. not this cheap shot clothesline crap. Personally I think that guy should go to jail for attempted manslaughter.

As far as the money goes,.. they are all just a bunch of overpaid, drug abusing, street thugs in todays NFL. Not like it used to be. No class in todays game which is why I am losing interest more and more every week.

Now look who is supporting censorship...

Censorship? How is anything that I said relating to censorship? Again,.. this is professional football, not rugby. This is not an "anything goes" sport. It is a contact sport yes,.. but the rules must be followed in order to keep the game as fair and safe as possible for the players.

It's against the law to cuss and make blatantly obvious sexual innuendo on public radio, but when Stern “breaks the rules” you stand behind him, spouting that censorship is the devil. I believe that rules in football are a means of censorship, in that they keep the violence at a more tasteful level, and not to protect the players…you would entertain that line of thought if you truly have an open mind…

Have you ever cussed or stated sexual innuendos?

[Cleetus]

Damn, Ya_know just made an amazing point, wow, sorry Wrrby, you have been beatin'

[WebHead]

Well,.. Ya-Know's argument is that he is trying to point out my hypocrisy by saying on one hand I am for obeying rules but on the other hand I am against obeying rules depending on the specific circumstances. However,.. he seems to think it's ok to break rules in the NFL, but yet I'm sure he stopped at every red light on his way to work. So if I am a hypocrite, then so is he. Webby beaten? I think not.
