Those fans were from Asheville, NC. My home state.
What is the board's opinion of that? What is the right and wrong in that situation?

i thought it was a pretty classless move from a classy player.
he was probably upset about the way it looked like almost a third of the stadium were cowboy fans.
there were alot of blue and silver in the stands.

Honestly I think all NFL players should leave fans and the signs alone. I could understand if it was something derogatory (sp?) about the player but these folks were just hanging a sign for the team.
Taylor is an IDIOT.
I like it that he can't hang w/ Tony when Tony decides to just juke his ARSE out of his cleats.
Fins looked rediculous out there today. First it was Porter and Taylor poppin off like this.
Awesome to see Dallas just play the game and let it speak for itself. That last image of Porter was PRICELESS.
Loved the game.

I do not blame him at all ..... I wish our players would do the same to any rival fans who tried to show up our team.
He did not tear up the banner ..... just ripped it down.

I believe it was covering a dolphin sign/logo... thats prob why he did it... but he was wrong... and then he started going back again when the guy started to display it again... then the guy pulled it back

I think a better answer would have been to play well.
False Start Flozell did a number on him today.

That was a real a hole thing to do, then when the guy tried to put it back- he came back and threated the guy.
If that was my sign, I would be in jail and Taylor would be in ICU. :lmao2:
Good thing Tony Romo was there to make it right.- Did yall see him break Jason taylor's ankles on that touchdown?
Dallas

Sure I would. Would that not be the funniest damn thing. Taylor goes over to tear down the sign and the fan jumps all up in his crap and pumnmels him. Taylor get's hurt and misses the game.
I would be LOL my butt off.
I wonder if the guy was some big ripped brother would Taylor do that. I mean if the guy is much bigger than taylor w/ tats and spikes coming out his neck.
Would Taylor do that?
I don't think so.
We need more Frankenstein fans.

Then you'd be pissed because they wouldn't bother the fans. It's a free country. You can make a sign and hang it up at a game as long as it isn't construed as "obscene" by stadium officials. People buy their tickets. They can wear what they want and cheer for whoever they want. If a player has a problem with it, he should do something on the field of play. Players should NEVER mess with fans and vice versa.
He should be fined,,, those fans paid their money and can support anybody they want,,, Taylor would have been wearing my beverage after that childish act. :laugh2:

I agree. As long as the fans stay in their area and don't throw anything at the players then the players need to have a certain level of respect for thier fans.

That sign was beyond the bleachers ..... hanging over the field.
If some Eagle or Redskin fans try to hand a banner over the Ring of Honor names ..... that would be ok?
I hope our players would not let them hang that trash over our field.

The thing is, those fans PAID to get into the game. That sign wasn't about Taylor, wasn't about the Dolphins...it was about the team that those fans came to support. It's their right to hang it there...and it was way out of line for Taylor to do that. Very classless move on his part.

Now you are making a rediculous argument. You do know where the ring of honor is located in Texas Stadium right?

Our players would get fined if they did that. Whether he does or not remains to be seen.

yup,,, I just watched Wes Welker spike the football after making a first down,,, no flag,,, :rolleyes:

I think that was kind of uncharacteristic of Jason Taylor. I think he might have been halfway kidding (wwf style) I met him and Zach Thomas once, at a bar I was working at in Lubbock. He was a lot nicer than Zack and was very friendly and approachable.
That being said he's really not as big as you would think. He's pretty tall but he's kinda skinny.

It barely registered a chuckle with me. Entertaining.
Sorry I'm not huge but I'm not afraid of anyone. I would of slapped his hands away. I would of loved it if he came into the stands after me.
He would be suspended and I would of been on the phone with a lawyer while I was still in the stadium.
Players need to play ON THE FIELD. They need to stay out of fans faces that are not being abusinve or rascist etc...
That sign said something like go cowboys.
He should shut up and get on the field and play. Leave the stands to the paying spectators.

What is the board's opinion of that? What is the right and wrong in that situation?
Taylor was trying to pump up his team.
I don't agree with it and I hope the league fines him, but that was what he was trying to do... wrong way to do it though.
The FANS are what makes the sport go... PLAYERS have no business taunting or intimidating fans who have paid the price of the tickets. It was MORE than simply tearing down a sign... it was getting in the face of the FANS who support the game.
If the LEAGUE or the individual TEAMS want to address the issue of (opposing) fan banners then the no fun league has taken another step back. Here's a great idea... don't accept the money when they want to buy a ticket- then you don't have to worry about them expecting to have the same rights as the home team fans... sheez.
Taylor would have been in trouble if he'd tried that with me. Not that I'm a tough guy but I would have verbally abused him so bad (and still hung my sign) that he would have come after me. Then I'd be rich. :)

That was WELL before the game even started. The Fox crew showed it well before kick-off.
How is that pumping up you're team?
"Hey guys? Did you see me just rip that guy and his wifes sign down?"
"Man I am FIRED up now JT....YOU DA MAN" "Thanks for ripping that poor dude and his old ladies sign down. We are gonna WIN now."
I can see how that would fire me up to play.
It was more to do w/ his own EGO than his team. He is like - By DAWD I am Jason Taylor. Gimmeh the sign NOW !!

That was my first thought, throw my beer at him, but then it was probably an $8.50 beer so I should drink it.
What if the fans would have fought him back, what then security would have come in escorted the fans out, they would have missed a great game.
WHat if the fans fought back and actually made physical contact with taylor, would the police have come in and taken them to jail?
Players should just leave banners alone, even if it is their house, those Cowboys fans paid their money to support the Cowboys they should be able to put up their banners.
Maybe if Taylor wouldn't have wasted so much energy taking the banner down, he would have been able to play more, those shots I saw of him gasping for air and looking all tired were priceless.

Uh.. you are obviously right. Taylor was out there all alone with his team in the locker room. They would have never have even known that he had symbolically just upheld the honor of "their" house. That what you are saying, right? Gotcha.
