I no longer have respect for Farve anymore!

That was running up the score, period. There is such a thing. We had no timeouts. There was no NEED to score another TD. They did, simply to be ****heads. You're classless if you agree with what they did, plain and simple. I hate the Titans, but when they got blanked 59-0 earlier in the season, I was saying the same thing. Getting paid does not entitle someone to be a dick without being called out on it.

This is a waste of my time. Some people's parents just fail at raising their offspring.

Funny. I don't hear anyone complaing about the Saints hanging up 45 on the Cards yesterday. The margin of victory was the same, 31 pts right?

"Running up" only exists when you're the losing team getting it handed to you. There's already a thread on this, btw.

Theres two reasons that they should have stopped. In my mind both are valid. 1) Sportsmanship is a dying commodity because of things like throwing 2 late TDs on 4th downs in a game that was already won. 2) There is a chance that your big time players get hurt "just playing to the whistle" which then hurts your chances for the next game. Having all their top offensive players out there throwing for the end zone in a game that was over was both a jerk move and a stupid one to boot.

Anyone defending it must also think the Belichick is the epitome of class.

No, I've already stated that the Titans got the score run up on them. 59-0 and still throwing to the end is not running up the score? It's not my team either, by the way...I hate them and Vince Young.

Did you watch that game?

Saints called off the dogs in the third quarter... they could have hung 60 on them...

No, this is what is wrong in America today. You people think you have the right to be lazy. I'm self employed, I step on my competitions throat every chance I get, that is called being successful. That is why I am surviving this economy. It's called me first. People like you think the Cowboys deserved some sort of pity from the Vikings, Cowboy players ran their lip, Brooking talked about stepping on their throats ( his usual pre game hype) The media talked us up all week. The Vikes simply proved them wrong. Now we are supposed to cry foul. The Cowboys will be back, hopefully with the killer instinct it takes to finish the job.

They earned it.

Why do you think in these youth sports leagues we teach our children to respect each other? You make references to class like its a bad thing. You make comments about these men being paid professionals. Why does being a paid professional mean you have to act without class? According to your principles or lack their off, it must really disturb you that this practice of poor sportsmanship isnt displayed more often. You must get sick to your stomach to have to watch as most teams refuse to throw the ball on 3rd and 15 in the forth quarter of a blowout? Wow. Does your brain really work like this?

And let me take another guess while i'm at it.... you are one of those people that condone Chad Johnsons td celebrations by saying "if you dont want to see it then stop it"? You actually think that success at a goal excuses showing no class?

You are probably one of those Madden online kids that finds cheats and glitches and uses them every chance you get because you can.

I'm very successful without stepping on throats, thanks. You used to get by on a beer and a handshake. Nowadays, well, there's people with your mentality.

So the Saints started taking a knee on every play in the third quarter and handing the ball back to the ARI offense on downs?

Obviously, there's a difference in play calling. You do understand there are different levels of aggressiveness, don't you? I don't think anybody would be crying foul if you are running the ball, and break through for a score. When you are throwing for the endzone unnecessarily, that's a different story.

It wasn't my choice. I just roll with the punches but refuse to be knocked out. I have to many families relying on me.
I wish our favorite team was like that.

the Saints weren't passing on fourth down with 2 minutes to go.

Congrats on being so successful in whatever business you are in. My guess is mortgage broker.
But anyway.... I am also self employed. I am successful in what i do as well. But i do not chose to embarrass my competitors in any way. I wont even bash them when asked about them from a potential client. You act like it is ok to treat people any way you chose as long as its for the sake of winning. Well you need to grow up. For every winner there is a loser. Someday it may be you on the losing end. What would i get out of going to my competitors house on christmas and taunting and embarrassing him in front of his family because i beat him and he isnt able to provide for his family like i can mine? He knows i beat him. I know it. But acting classless is victory is worse than acting classy in defeat. Whats wrong with America is your attitude that winning excuses treating people without dignity or class. You need to realize that their is no excuse for classless behavior in any form.

I understood the issue that Farve had with the packers, ted thompson, jets etc.

He didn't have issues with the Jets.
Rather, the Jets and Jets fans had issues with him.

He is an egomaniac. Most of the 2008 Jets did not like the guy.

He sucked down the stretch.

In August or September of 2009, Favre chose to announce that he had been injured late in the 2008 season and that was the reason for the poor performance at the end of the season. What a jerk.

If you play, you don't make excuses period, but you especially don't make them nine months after the fact.

Who said I publicly or privately embarrass any one? My business isn't played out weekly on national tv. I figure out ways to do what I do so I make money and the people who work with me make money.

Pro football players (or any athlete) do their jobs in front of the world, their choice. That's why they make millions.
If they can't do their jobs it's their problem. If they are embarrassed so be it.

Do it better and you won't be. As far as I know Brooking and Marty B were the only ones complaining. Marty has no room to complain and Brooking did all he could, Seems to me he should be screaming at his teammates. Not the other team. If I get out bid I don't scream at my competitors, I look inside MY company.

 

[gmb85]

Darren Sharper going up against his old team? I smell at least 2 interceptions from Favre to Sharper! They have no chance next week. HAHA!

 

[trueblue1687]

If we had cajones, we would have stopped him from "running up" the score.

Wasn't it Jimmy Johnson who said, "We play 60 minutes of football."

Why are you guys crying about it now???

That's the dumbest thing anybody could dream up to say. "If you don't like it, stop 'em!!"

It is called a SPORT for a reason. No matter what you can come up with, there isn't a reason to try another score with less than 2 minutes to win and up by 27 points. Maybe in college where you are judged on how many points you can lay on someone, but in professional football it has NEVER been considered right todo that.
