DallasEast;2301423 said:Yes. You were saying that the team lost and thus "gave him permission" to do what he did.
Tell me this. If the team loses again at home (and it may happen eventually, but hopefully not during the playoffs), what else do you feel is acceptable behavior from a player from an opposing team inside another team's stadium? I've asked this question before (not to you, of course), but never really get a straight answer back.

If I were an owner I wouldn't hire you to coach a Madden team.DaBoys4Life;2301442 said:I would be a great football coach =)

Doesn't matter. I want no part of any mentality where you are okay with the other team showing disrespect just because we lost.DaBoys4Life;2301490 said:I don't even own Madden.

None, zero, zip, nada. You might as well be a Commanders fan right now. That's how far down the sludge trail that mentality slides you. Yet you spew it proudly.
Sickening.
Avoided the question? Typical.DaBoys4Life;2301442 said:If they put up another pathetic attempt at home like that then yeah. It really sad seeing the way they played like that at home none the less. Then after the lose we get some bull**** lame excuse as to way they couldn't stop the run factor in the little to no factor Tank has been this year he really has no reason to get upset. You're playing with out heart and you can't beat the team and get upset over their celebration. If you want to patrol where they celebrate after the game maybe you shouldn't give them a reason to celebrate.
Don't warp the question posed to you.DaBoys4Life;2301445 said:I'm pretty sure your HS football coach would have been happy with a poor performance like that at home and didn't chew in your *** out. The person that is get riled up after the game might as well played the bench the whole because he didn't do anything while in the game.
I share your opinion, but our opinion is going the way of the dinosaur.Don Corleone;2301489 said:I miss the old days, when teams win and lose with class. To me, dancing on anybody's midfield logo is completely classless, and winning does not give one the right to do so.

The run defense was pathetic, but not impossible to fix.
Johnson can gripe about his level of play or the level of play of his teammates. The question is whether he's correct in complaining about how badly he and/or his teammates played. Now, if he has a lick of pride in his body, he should complain about what another team's player does within his stadium.
Question (which I'm sure you'll attempt to avoid also). If Dallas had played excellent run defense in D.C. and won, would you want Johnson to behave in the same manner as Cartwright within FedEx Stadium? Another question. Is that what you preceive as professional behavior befitting the National Football League?
Neither do players have have to 'patrol' their own stadium nor do opposing players have to disrespect another team and/or its fans. It's about making a choice of doing the right or wrong thing. Even though these are adults playing a kids game, it doesn't mean that they are 'authorized' to behave in a fashion unbefitting of the sportsmanlike conduct which is a cornerstone of the game itself.Don't warp the question posed to you.
In answer to your hypothesis, my head coach chewed out his players during the game, during halftime and after the game, mostly following a loss but sometimes when we won. I didn't have a Tony Dungy/Wade Phillips. My head coach was like a Tom Coughlin (who lacked the coaching wisdom). Heck, he chewed us out every practice. Now, that I think about it, he chewed us out for wasting shower water on occasion. But I digress...
So what? When an opponent beat us, a player from that team didn't use that as an excuse to disrespect our stadium after the game. In the nearly 30 years since, I haven't seen that come close to happening. Of course, my old high school team hasn't lost in 47 straight games, so the opportunity never arose in the recent past, but you understand (I guess).
If you're pissed off with how well Johnson played, that's fine. I'm with you. I'm not happy with the whole team's performance Sunday, but you're continually getting off track. It's like a Amtrack train wreck with you on every single reply. Nothing justifies someone disrespecting you simply because you lost to them. However, if you feel that way, you could provide other examples of what is acceptable behavior following a loss.
Don't worry. I know that you'll avoid responding to that again.

BraveHeartFan;2301863 said:Yeah because Jimmy Johnson was such a HORRIBLE football coach while having pretty much this exact idea while coaching the Hurricanes. They were notorious for going in and being like this in other people's houses.
It's a very simple fact that if you don't want people coming into your house, disrespecting your place, you don't give them a reason to be able to do so.
Sunday was a big game, for both teams, and when you win a rivalry game it's not shocking, in the least, for teams to want to rub it in.
It happens and the only way to totally avoid it is to not let them come into your building and kick your can.
BraveHeartFan;2301888 said:I'd like to note that I don't particularly like it, at all, but just like when TO did it after scoring TDs I can't really get overly upset. If they don't want them doing that sort of thing then they shouldn't let them have reason to be doing it.
Don Corleone;2301915 said:Well, teams are going to score at Texas Stadium and at the new stadium. Does that give the scorer the right to dance on the logo? TO did it before the game was even decided. He would have looked pretty stupid if the Niners would have wound up losing that game in the end.
Again, it is about winning with class and realizing that you can and will face your opponent again. Football is a humbling game, and just because you win one game doesn't mean that the opposing team won't beat you in a rematch (just ask the Giants) so it is better to take your "W" and leave the opposing team's stadium with class.
