LaTunaNostra;1243926 said:Only no one apologizes and says 'I am going to move on" after accidental spraying anyone. The gravity of the matter was plain for everyone to see.
Accidental sprayers say' oops, sorry, didn't mean it". Those sprayed on accidentally don't react with the outrage Hall did, even if they've been toasted all night.
This line of defense is beneath you...surreally so.
And some of the posters that are decrying Owens would have probably cheered.stealth;1243952 said:funny thing is that woulda been less of a fine too

Yes, I think the media has a lot to do with it. I also think he has invited it.ilovejerry;1243889 said:Trust me when I say Mr smith would only love T.O's circus, and to be honest dont you think the media has a lot to do with it being a 3 ring circus

BigDFan5;1243930 said:You know LTN I like you and generally enjy reading your posts, but your habit of calling anyone who does not agree with your hate of TO a "sniffer" is getting ludicrous. Especially since according to your own definition you are a TG "sniffer" because he hung the moon for you correct?
Seriously why not try a debate without the childish names. We know you hate TO, we know you want him gone. Belittling people who do not scream CUT HIM everytime he ties his shoes wrong does nothing positive for the conversation
Alexander;1243959 said:What "outrage"?
I didn't see any of that during the game. That would be generally what you could expect.
Oh, I see, you call his sibilate noises through the media "outrage"?
I think it is good he got fined because it was a disgusting act that really is unjustified.
But I can assume with great certainty that Owens probably didn't hall off and launch a gob on him as bad as Hall is implying. His reaction is too reactive and dramatic. It is almost as if he is trying too hard to curry sympathy.

It is the same for everything, 2 people look at the same exact situation differently.
The man was clearly asked by Deion, "Hall is claiming that you spit on him, did you".
What is he apologizing for? Why is saying it was more of an accident later?

I guess you still don't understand the difference. I wasn't calling the other poster dumb because I thought he was dumb. I was using the quote he said to me as evidence of how it is silly to say such things in a debate. That is not calling the kettle black.mickgreen58;1243969 said:Man, we may need to make this your permanant avatar

stealth;1243976 said:Ima put it like this, If a man spits on me in person I hit him, I scream and holler the moment it happens and make a fool out of myself. I don't sit on it all game and the whine to who ever will listen. Where was the outrage when it happened? even if there was no spitting on camera no man on earth is gonna just take a spit in the eye and be like "hmm that was uncalled for" and go about his business.

I agree he hasn't helped his cause, the sit ups was foolish, but don't forget the media will spin tons footage for there gain,
I take it you don't? I do
So, you think there was nothing at strange about him going outside his house to do situps in his driveway? Everything he does will be under a magnifying glass and guess what, he invited that scrutiny. It's not like they have had an agenda to slander and libel him. He's the fool who threw 2 different QBs under the bus.
Well you see there that is someones opinion we don't actually know what happened to him and those so called QB just again he said she said.
Come on man, I was born at night but it wasn't last night.
OK I follow
Give him the benefit of the doubt? For an admission? Oh wait, he retracted that later to clarify it. Yeah, after he learned there's no video footage of it.
Never disputed that.
When the scrutiny of him is ridiculous I've defended him. Go back and look if you have doubts. He's trying to retract an admission. Excuse me for my skepticism given his past. I gave up believing in knights in shining armor and slaying dragons a long, long time ago.
Hey my kids think I'm a Knight in shinning armor,
He wants me to believe he's a good guy? It's real simple, don't be a jerk. Don't tell the press you sleep through meetings and film sessions. Don't draw taunting flags. Don't open your pie hole and change your feet. Don't tell me you're leery of "snitches." Don't spit on other players.
well I wont judge him like you but you have your opinion that is fine
If he'd do his job and shut the hell up with all of this crap I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. He is doing his job and doing a good job granted its not a great year for HIM , But its still a damn good job especially with a broken finger, Now his mouth well ,,I will live with it,
He hasn't earned it. Him wearing the uniform doesn't mean autonomy is granted. I refuse to be a hypocrite who will bag on Commanders fans for defending Sean Taylor blindly and then blindly defend one of my own players for the same act.
I still don't see what he did as wrong but again if were talking about the spitting incident then we can agree to disagree
If you have no qualms about it, then by all means go right ahead. Integrity means more to me than that. Hence why I said I don't back my children blindly when they are in the wrong. I'm not going to enable and rationalize stupidity.
I didn't grant integrity to the media, or the NFL, or anyone else for that matter, so you missed the point entirely.ilovejerry;1244008 said:Integrity thats a nice word thats a great word, I really dint put much integrity into the media or the NFL right now I'm sorry you still have faith in the system but they all care about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and ratings not what used to be, Roger is not around anymore
