Official Tashard Choice Thread **MERGED**

[Air Force One]

Choice probably a big fan of Vick playing with Georgia Tech days in college. Probably knew each other already and grewvup watching his favorite player

there is a time and place.. and that was neither...unless you have an uncontrollable man crush

 

[dbair1967]

Ding, ding! Winner!



The autograph request did not have to happen immediately after the game...on the friggin field...on national TV!

Have an equipment guy get it for you, something...give me a break, Choice!

This seems like the smarter way to handle it, or just go over to their lockerroom after your off the field.

Really stupid gesture on Choice's behalf IMO.

Not really sure what you could complain about with Jenkins tonight, he had a pretty good game. The long TD he at least played aggressive, he just missed that ball.

Piss poor tackling, and again letting a RB burn him for 30+ yards by not being aggressive.

 

[tyke1doe]

obviously.... thanks for stating the obvious.

There's a lot of obvious going on, like obvious whining after a loss and obvious nitpicking and obvious ...

There's so many reasons for Choice to get Vick's autograph, the fact this is even an issue with you guys is comical. Players get tickets/autographs/memorabillia from each other all the time when the cameras aren't watching. This is a non-issue. He's not going to hate the guy just because you don't like the Eagles and/or Vick, and he shouldn't. The NFL "rival" is a very fluid concept that exists more between the two fanbases than the players themselves. NFL teams aren't like colleges in that the players don't choose to go where they want. They could be huge fans of our rivals (i.e. Sean Lee's fav team is the Steelers) so don't act surprised when there isn't a huge brawl on the field after the game.

I'm not sure how any of you can be fine with what Choice did, to be honest. It's not like we won't be playing these guys again in a few weeks.

The main issue for me is that for a guy that seems to pride himself on halftime speeches and all that, this is probably not the best way to establish yourself as a leader.

If i had an in to get all the players autographs I would do it too.

I bet he didn't ask for the autograph during the game.
Players are people too.

 

[Everlastingxxx]

Embarrassing to see Choice have Vick sign his gloves.

Didn’t like all the smiles by the Cowboys and HC.

Seems like everyone is happy to be 4-9.

Joy oh joy.

Someone send Choice a tweet that Justin Beiber is going to be appearing at the civic center.
I'm sure he could get an autograph.:laugh2:

lol well whew, that's a relief!

 

[Air Force One]

And for those wanting to excuse TC and excoriate those of us embarrassed by that pitiful display

we are out of the playoffs and we have a new coach and we are evaluating players now and seeing what they are made of. I do NOT like what I saw of TC and I feel we would be better off without him next year if that is how he feels after a loss to the EAGLES

The freaking EAGLES!

I obviously have no problem with players shaking hands after the game and congratulating each other. That's sportmanship. However, that doesn't mean I wouldn't still want to smack the crap out of them (but wouldn't do it). As someone else posted, Roger Staubach, Randy White, Harvey Martin, etc. wouldn't have done this. Losing should make you sick to your stomach. It should hurt. The LAST thing that should be going through your head directly following a loss is "hey, this is my opportunity to get an autograph of one of our hated rivals". Maybe it's just me, but this is clearly a sign of some of the things wrong with this organization. It seems that losing doesn't really bother some of our players. It use to make me physicall ill. Guess people just aren't the same these days. Why should they be when all kids are given awards for just participating and are given a good grade because afterall, they tried. LOL:bang2:

Again, 25yrs of watching football, I've never seen a move like that. In ANY game.

Just a stupid thing to do in a bad situation. Cameras all over you, right after a tough loss to a supposedly HATED divisional opponent.

It happens throughout the league. A lot of these players laugh at how upset fans get after losses.

No, he wanted it for good reasons. We may have lost the game, but at least his dog will have a tasty treat when he gets home.

At least, I hope that's why Choice did it.

Right, the equipment guy is going to be able to access Vick quickly with all the reporters trying to interview him also.

And, how do you know there will be time to get to Vick later? He has official media interviews, his team is getting ready for the bus, he may have a final game meeting before they leave Jerry World.

We're assuming a lot here.

 

[camelboy]

Is he trying to get cut?
I mean am not gonna make a big deal out of it had it been done in the locker
room but not sitting well in my stomach seeing it on the field after a loss..

It's just dumb
