Revisiting an unfair criticism

[MarionBarberThe4th]

That was one of the more ridiculous controversies in the history of this board.

What's another good one?

Romo is fat. Romo wore his hat backwards.

It was!

Gotta say this may be the oddest callout thread Ive ever seen lol what made you go here haha

So it's clear, more revisiting. Less callout.

I invented the backwards hat

What do you think about the reasons I listed for it being different ? Are you originally from the Atlanta area?

It was not that he asked for an auto that irked me... It was from Vick that irked me.

As a long time Pitt bull lover.. Anyone that did what he did to the dogs is beneath scum to me.

Of all the players I did not care for and TO a deal Prime Time were two... If Jerry ever signed Vick to this team I would have quit following the boys while he was here.

So that was the only thing that irked me.

I have to admit that watching the postgame brought this to mind.

I am a lover of choice AKC Amstaffs. I'm on my third one. Love em... But, bottom line as noted back then, Vick served his time and was not allowed the space for forgiveness. I had no issue with Choice's actions then and have no issue with anything these guys do after games today.

I can clearly recall when sooooo many of our beloved FanZone loving Cowboys fans were up in arms back when Tashard Choice asked for Michael Vick's autograph seven years ago. Yeah.. Especially where it pertains to my boys, I don't forget anything.



TChizzle was called every name in the book on this board... & I defended him to the bitter end of the upheaval.

Fast forward seven years....

It seems commonplace now for players to exchange or obtain autographs from opposing players after games in the NFL.

Case in point:

Dak signed his jersey for an unnamed KC player a few minutes ago.

&...

Zeke and Kareem Hunt signed/exchanged jerseys as well.

So I ask a simple question.. Was it a tad unfair to chastise Tashard Choice for doing something that no one on this board cares about today? I can guarantee most of you are drowning in beer, wine, or whatever you celebrate a big Boys win with and couldn't care less about the two photos I posted above.

No, it wasn't. We just lost that game. Did Vick ask for his autograph? No, because Choice was nothing more than a few youtube videos (which I did find hilarious).

I like the sportsmanship on display when two players exchange jerseys. Yes, obviously, that means one of the players lost the game but there's no reason why you can't swap and have mutual respect for a competitor.

Tashard Choice was idolizing a scumbag human being ..... and was not exchanging Jerseys for his charity.

Dak, Zeke, and Dez do this kinda stuff for their charities (which most every player has nowadays)

Not even close to the same thing and your example is bad.

Choice is a stand up guy that just so happens to be making his mark in the coaching ranks. Scumbag? Hmmmm. I just checked the police blotter & public records. His are clean.

Learn to read ........ I said he was idolizing a scumbag

Millenials

^ this.......they simply view many things, good and bad, in different ways than us old-schoolers. Funny because I was having this same exact discussion while watching the other day. I particularly do not find anything wrong with players showing respect for one another as long as they're rivals during the game. I admit I was not pleased at TC when he did this back in the day but apparently I've changed my position through the years.

Neither is a scumbag. I can't recall the number of times we've been over this back in 2010..... But why not once more?

Vick served his time and, like anyone else that has been given second chances in society, deserved (and deserves) the same second chance. I purchase prized AKC Amstaffs. Have been doing so for years... & I have no issue giving a person that has paid his debt to society a second chance. I guess some of us just love to hate on ppl. Whatever.

Good on Vick. Last I checked, his public records have been clean for years. But he's such a scumbag... ZZZ

 

[Bleu Star]

Thanks Tashard for setting that trend. One that seems so commonplace today under the guise of "charity"...

 

[zrinkill]

Neither is a scumbag.

Birds of a feather I guess.

It was yet another stupid criticism.
