Mouths
 

Don't like Leinart, Young, Manning, etc. for comments while they're on a high or frustrated after a game? Try to get over it. It's football, not tiddlywinks. They have a passion for the game and winning.

The ones you oughta be concerned about, if any, are those known for being self-serving all the time.

Peyton makes a comment or two (probably true) in a post-game press conference and he's a T.O.?

Hate to tell ya. But many, if not most, NFL players are arseholes and think very highly of themselves.

I think what these guys did is very acceptable. We did nothing but criticize Brooks for smiling and smoking and joking on the sideline. Now a lot of people are doing the same type of criticizing for actions on the other half of the spectrum. What do we want a mellow pot smoking Hippie.

I'd love to see Ricky Williams in Black and Gold.

Hell yeah but tell him to come over my house. I need to test the furry stuff.

OK, what, when, where, and how???

He must have been smoking some BoBo shwag 'cause it didn't help his game or his senses.

..it's all part of the canonization of sports heroes...

..we like our public figures, specially our sports heroes, be holy, to always say and do "the right thing",
Even though they may or may not believe a single word that's coming out of their mouths, as long as it sounds "right", we eat it up...
Words like "class" and "respect" are tossed around like dice on a craps table...

... fortunately, after football season is over, I can fully direct my sports attention to the Mexican Soccer league, where I see the players play, but I don't have to hear them talk....

... now don't bunch up Brooks' comments or actions with those of Manning or Leinart... they are much different situations... one thing is to say something out of frustration 10 minutes after losing a big game, another is, well, Brooks :)

I agree Tally, that's what I have been saying also, I could care less what they say on or off the field just as long as they play well and help their team to win, now when a player begins to criticize their team and coaches on TV that's where I have a problem, if said behind closed doors that I don't have a problem with, I could never understand why some fans talked so much about Brooks smiling during a game, didn't make sense to me, it wasn't his mouth that caused him to play so poorly, he's just doesn't play smart football, shame to because he has a gun for the long ball

.. because he was grinnin'n'chillin' when his team was getting the snot beat out of them, instead of looking at polariods and showing some semblance of leadership and professionalism...

..hey if you are 28-0 ahead in the 4th, grin all you want... when you are 0-21 down staring the second half, you better show some fire, especially if you are the QB..

I have to ask this... do you really think that just because Brooks would smile sometimes after a bad play that he really didn't care? C'mon guys... I'm not here to butter up his mistakes but.... is it wrong for a man to shake off what is a bad moment in a game? Does it make him a criminal for tryin to feel better about a bad situation? Just askin...

hmmmm... nah, not gonna bother...

I will.

It wasn't just the fact that he smiled after fumbling or throwing picks. A good QB will go to the sidelines & look at game film, etc.. to see what the defense is doing. "Fumbles the Clown" a.k.a.-Aaron Brooks just sat there smiling like a retard with a new booger on his finger! :lol: :lol:

Actually I will say I was at the Buffalo "Home game" in San Antonio this year on the sideline. 4th row 50's actually great seats, uncomfortable but great vantage. When Stallworth dropped multiple big passes in a row I watch and listened as Brooks got fired up and was gunning the ball at him on the side lines for multiple series. I found that interesting because I have never seen that when I watch the games on TV. Well to make a long story short Stallworth went on to have a pretty good game and I actually think he did show some fire and leadership and his sideline composure was similar at both games at Giants stadium this year that I attended also.

Does this not happen down in NO. I have to ask the question because while it is true I do not see anyone including Brooks the Defense or the Coaches studying photographs. Maybe Benson wont pay for the tecnology, but damned if I know. I do know what I have seen with my own eyes.

Saying Brooks doesn't care about throwing an INT because he smiles after the fact is just foolish

Maybe, but saying the coaches had to cut the playbook in half & still had to make him a wristband with said plays so he would know them is PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I never said he was smart, he's quite the opposite if you ask me.

...and an overstatement.
