Official Tashard Choice Thread **MERGED**

[Avaj]

Wow I can't believe some of the comments. Football is a business and their jobs. So now people can't be friends outside of work? Although he got the autograph for his nephew, he can't know or talk to anyone else that isn't a Cowboy. SMH.

Ok. Now I'm outraged. At this grammar. I bet Eagles players have better grammar than this.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Game over.

Yep, 30-27 Eagles.

 

[WV Cowboy]

Did anyone else notice Vick signed with his right hand?

Then the autograph is invalid, .. get off of Choice's butt. :laugh2:

 

[WV Cowboy]

This game is for the fans and it's about the fans. Not the other way around.

It may seem like that now, but they have been playing NFL football since there were maybe 1,000 people there, and no TV, no internet, no message boards, no ESPN, no MNF, etc, on and on.

I get the feeling most NFL players would rather be doing this than any other job, .. and they would do it for far less if that was the case.

Chicken or the egg?, .. in this case, NFL football came before all of the fan frenzy.

It doesn't SEEM like that. It is like that. Even in those days, it was like that. The NFL came to be because of the fans and the Money it represented. Don't kid yourself here. The NFL almost folded up and died because they couldn't draw enough fans. That's why they paid college players to play football. It's always been about the fans and not about the game. If you wanted to make this kind of statement about College Football, I could agree. Not about Pro Football. That's always been about money and fans.

Can't deny the $$$$$ industry it has become.

Cowboys and Philly? Oh yeah you do.

You're crazy if you think some of our players are not friends with players on the Eagles. You think D-Ware and Osi Umeniora suddenly hate each other after playing together in college? No. We're rivals during game time, but when the game is over they're just people.

Choice gave everything he had in the game, and once the clock hits zeros, you're done with work for that day and then they're just people until the next kickoff.

 

[CATCH17]

It's not a big deal to me but I could see how it would be a big deal to people.



Im used to see'ing basketball and Soccer players do the same thing all the time so I guess it isn't an issue for me.

Yeah, I'm crazy. Watch and see how many more times TC asks for an autograph like that after a game.

Yeah, I'm crazy.

 

[iceberg]

that post doesnt make any corelation to the autograph. Its the autograph that is the problem, on his home field in front of his home fans who just got their heart ripped out.

If he went over like many did and hugged vick no one would say anything, its the autograph and what that means that is the problem in that moment.

get the autograph in the lockeroom after or before the game. Not on the field after you just loss.

get thicker skin.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

get thicker skin.

I'd rather just get a bigger gun and buy more bullets.

Don't much like Philly Ice.

:laugh2:

oh, me either. but to pretend that every person should react the very same way you do is just idiocy in motion. i don't think they need to live behind walls and be "friends" in private just cause fans get rabid.

so he got an autograph that turns out to be for his nephew. big friggin deal. people just INVENT things to get worked up over and blow things way out of proportion.

gets old.

Yeah, we're not going to agree here. My thing is not really about TC, although, I wished he had not done that. To me, this is more about the team as a whole. You gotta hate Philly and Washington and NY but really you gotta hate Philly cause they do hate us. I think it's gotta be that way if your going to win a Championship.

 

[Baileyneverfailey]

Fans getting riled up over this are as bad as the ESPN crazies we're all typically complaining about. Choice apologized for it because he saw how much of a fuss people were making over it, but I guarantee you that's the only reason.

 

[Nirvana]

No 2 year old wants an autograph of a football player and this thing is showing up on EBay just watch. YADIG.

i don't think he should have apologized. i don't hear any of the "raging madfan" apologize after they found out it was for his son. some on the fence went to 'raging apathy' when they found out who it was for.

people just need to whine.

 

[Stautner]

yeah it means something different on your home field after losing in that manner.


it seems rah rah from the fans and guys like me to say it, but its not right. Do it in the locker room.

This has got to be a joke. You are saying losing makes getting an autgraph for your nephew unacceptible, but doesn't have any bearing on exchanging warm hugs and pleasant conversation with the opponent?

I would love to hear some actual rationale behind this.

By the way, you do realize the players from the two teams aren't in the same lockerroom where they could "do it in the lockerroom"?
