BTW, can someone who Tivo'd the HOF, do a still frame in 1024x768 of that guy in the crowd with the helmet. I want to use it as my background for my laptop, and sig pic. Or at least help me on how to do it, as I tivod it

Maybe he was representin the police brotherhood?

That's fine Ab. Read the original post again. He clearly says some may find it "classless."

Don't try and tell me you're someone who has never laughed at someone clowning around. Don't tell me you have never clowned around yourself and poked fun at other people. Don't tell me you're someone who has never laughed when someone falls. I won't believe you. You see, I think you're human underneath all the finger pointing.

That was a compliment BTW.

Sure clowning around is fine -- but time and place - and it isn't the original poster that I took issue with -- it was the action. And the sub-normal who clearly thinks it was cool.

I bet Ralph Wilson would have no problem with it. It was harmless. I don't find it as funny as some might, but it was hardly classless. You have to approach hateful for me to consider it classless.

Guys, I just watched it again. It was nothing. No "in-yo-face" stuff or anything. Hell, I barely got a couple of frames of the star on the helmet.

so we have some that overreact on stuff they probably never seen.

look at it again, and you'll see what I mean

I think you are letting the bile spewed over Irvin affect your opinion of this taunt. Was this as bad? No. But on your big day, you get taunted? That's bad no matter how you look at it.

Whatever - you were all for it as an in your face taunt regardless.

now I'm all about throwing it in you face. Hey, as thin skinned at you are, do you belong to PETA or some wimp group like that?

ok, I'm done venting. Time to Mow the yard

Uh, I'm actually one of Irvin's biggest critics as a Cowboys fan. I never complained about his performance on the field, but I'm very critical of him off it. There's no bile towards Irvin getting taunted any more than there is over Wilson getting taunted. I was merely pointing out that it happens across the demographics and some of it is more offensive than a simply 5 and zero hand signal. With apologies to Daniel Snyder, that's pretty vanilla. It's not like he was giving the bird to the back of his head.

The difference is in people clowning around versus being downright hateful. That by a man who was there and heard things so bad he couldn't share them.

Last night I was so PO'd I felt if I wrote what was said I'm sure I woulda got me a couple more demerit points.

I did finally relent(had to vent so I could let it go) and gave a PC version today in this POST.

And believe me, what I posted was considerably toned down from what was actually said.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

man, the term classless is getting so overused nowadays, that was hardly classless, classless is screaming 'you suck', or 'Irvin's Cowboys owned your pathetic arses, 58 points!'

people need to stop lumping everything w/ even the slightest negative overtone as classless
