Same thing with T.O. and the cowboys. He's been quiet this season to say the least.

I'm loving the beatdown the Boys put on the Iggles last night, and pumped for the Giants matchup next week. Should basically put whoever wins into the playoffs (as NFC East champs).
How bout dem Cowboys!

That's the thing about winning and having a team that doesn't need them to win. Sure the Pats and 'Boys are better with Moss and T.O. and might have a(nother) loss or two without them, but the teams don't need them to be in the playoffs. They keep their mouths shut and play hard to have their chance at the playoffs and Superbowl ring. They know that if they act up too much they could easily end up benched or fired so they keep themselves in line.
The really sad part is that if they end up on a team that needs them again they'll go back to being as loathsome as they were on previous teams, not learning that they could actually do some good if they played hard and tried to lead their not-as-good team and possibly elevate that team instead of making themselves look more like asshats....
Of course I can lecture from the sidelines but if I'd had that kind of skill and had millions of dollars thrown at me in my early 20s I'd be an asshat too...
Thanks for the honesty.
Just so we know where everyone stands in all this. I've never looked to sports figures as any kind of a role model. Those who do get disappointed, time after time. Entertainment it is.
Thanks for the honesty.
There are some players who can handle the glory and money without being idgits but they are few and far between, Jerry Rice comes to mind. Receivers seem particularly vulnerable as well, probably since they rarely rely on others to block for them and don't rely on the rest of the offensive crew like the QB or RB do as long as they can get open and catch the ball.
I'd like to think I'd be someone who could be one of them but I know myself well enough to know that I'd probably be just a disliked as Moss or T.O. Of course I have almost no athletic ability whatsoever so lucky for me, I just have to be a typical middle class asshat.
Thanks for the honesty.
well i personally look at sports figures as role models. and of course i get emotional with it as well. but i think it has helped me as an athlete myself
So Roethlislongass****ingname just threw his 5th touchdown pass with less than 2 minutes to go in the first half to go up 35-0. When Brady did this against Miami everyone bitched and said they should have just taken a knee.
I bet nobody says that about the Steelers. Gotta love double standards, eh?

All the former hosses are in town for the anniversary celebration, so I suppose everyone will forgive the rout.
Roethlisberger's okay. He returned early in the 4th after being examined. In addition to record setting throws and offense, the Steeler Curtain was like old times, and smash mouth was the order of the day. James Harrison was huge, last night.
well that's good that he's okay. i noticed that they didn't score much in the second half
Scumbags? I don't think Jerry Jones is a scumbag. He's no better or worse than the Redskin's owner.
I think people like Al Davis, Georgia Frontiere, Robert Irsay and Art Modell are scum. They moved teams with history and viable fanbases to new cities.
That sucks.
He has won the NFL's Executive of the Year award 5 times (1988, 1991, 1995, 1996, and 1999). With that, a lot of teams would take his whining.
