I agree with all of this. Especially the part about the kid getting popped after talking smack.

I was at a 4th grade pee wee football game a couple years back, and a DT just leveled a kid. The DT stood over him, and did the "knife slashing to the neck" thing as he looked down on him.

IMMEDIETELY, the DT's father comes running out of the stand, runs onto the field, ignoring the coaches and refs, yanks his kid by the back of his jersey and literally drags him off the field. It was beautiful.

Kids need to be taught to respect the other teams win, lose, or draw.

I've always tried to teach my son the value of being graceful in both victory and defeat... but man, it's a tough battle in this day-and-age with all of the bad examples they get from the pros.

I watch so much pro sports with my son, that he gets it in his head that it's acceptable to bring attention to yourself and showboat and do ridiculous celebrations (thanks, T.O.).

To counter those impulses, I've always told him that if he does anything self-promoting or directed towards the other team, I'll pull him off the field so fast his head will spin. I've always told him that the only acceptable celebration is to celebrate with your teammates... high five and congratulate them.

Fortunately he's got a good head on his shoulders and has listened to me so far.

Good for you. I agree, it is tough when you turn on pro sports today and you see all the self promoting.

I remember when I was starting freshman football, and my dad took me to buy cleats. I picked some white ones, and my dad said "No way". you'll look like billy "white shoes" johnson, and you don't want to bring attention to yourself. You'll look like an idiot. So he made me buy black cleats instead.

Funny thing is, I get to the first practice, and I was the only one wearing black shoes, so I looked like the "stand out". My dad just shook his head, and said my team was full of a bunch of primadonnas.


Another time, I was injured and wasn't suited up for a game. I worked on the chain gang during the game, and at halftime, I stayed out on the field with another guy who was hurt, while my team went into the locker room. So me and this other injured player decidd to have a race from hashline to hashline during halftime. Everyone in the stands saw us.

After the game my dad yanked me out of the parking lot telling me I looked like a damn idiot out there running like nothing was wrong with me, yet I wasn't playing.

I didn't understand it right away, but I sure do now. I was an idiot.

It was a nice punch though.
My favorite part is how you can see spittle come out of the BSU player's mouth. Almost like a scene from Rocky.

So some of you think that its a bad thing that one, one, BSU player talks a little smack after proving it on the field twice when UO:

Actually laughed at BSU while they were getting off the bus last year in Eugene?

Cried about cheap shots and how they would of won the first game if their QB hadn't gotten knocked out of the game (when their defense got sliced and diced and their offense was suffocated until near the end of the game)?

Talked smack all off-season about how they were going to get revenge on BSU and "circled" the game at Boise on their calendar?

Came into Boise and still acted like a bunch of arrogant ***holes before the game while being taped by the yokal tv station the day before the game?

BSU kept their mouths shut until after the game and proved it on the field.

The suspension for the whole year was too much. Shows Oregon and CFB care more about setting an example that that man's life. I'm sure ending his football career will really help him.... Since he's a senior, he should have been given a 3-4 game suspension. This would still give him a chance to show he can act properly and redeem himself to some extent.

Guy just cold cocked an opposing player. Why should people be interested in "helping" him..?

Problem is, he wasn't exactly a model player beforehand. It seems he was already operating on a short leash with Oregon football.

Plus, the guy is lucky that that cop he struggled against didn't haul his butt to jail. It never ceases to amaze me how the laws of our society just get thrown out the window just because someone happens to be wearing a sports uniform.

I like how that coward runs away, but acts like he wants to take them all on at the same time

yeah it's amazing what you can get away with if you're on tv. if that was me or you we would've gotten beaten down than taken to jail.

Plus if it was me, it wouldn't have taken 5 men to hold me back. That cop alone could have kicked my butt from here to Walla Walla :D
