Joe Horn 1up's Terrell Owens!!

lumm0x · 12-14-2003, 11:37 PM

My impression of a football player is Deuce.

Guys like Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, etc.
Just get the job done, act like you\'ve been there before. All the dancing, acting and over the top antics annoy me.
If I want to see that crap I\'ll flip on wrestling. Play football, shut up and act like an adult.

I understand your position, but not everyone feels that way. I can live with it or without it. But, that was over the top. They can\'t let it get too out of hand. I think he\'s in for a big fine.

I hope he at least gets a Nextel commercial deal out of it.

I\'m sure Joe is in for a definate cell phone commercial. I think that is just the stigma of the NFL wide receiver. As for Deuce, he definately epitomizes how the professional athlete should act. He gets the job done and doesn\'t feel the need to be all flashy. However, I wasn\'t too impressed with ESPN\'s intro to the game with Deuce. That just isn\'t his style.

You know, Horn was pretty over-the-top with his stunt.

But the real \"Man bites Dog\" story from tonight was Aaron Brooks had a 74% completion rate, only put the ball on the ground once and only threw the ball to the guys wearing black and gold.

He had a huge game that we might be able to parlay into a trade with San Diego.

Horn\'s going to make the highlight reel, get a big fine and some phone company is going to rip off his stunt without using Joe and Joe\'s going to be, \"Why am I giving the folks at Cingular all this free advertising?\"

I thought it was a classless act that he didn\'t need to perform. Act like a professional.
Nice game Joe...too bad this tainted it.

Classless ???

Classless is Hasletts comment last season about the fans being at fault for the season ending loses .

Classless is Sapps comparison to the N.F.L. as a slave master .

Horn pulling a phone was a new twist in the N.F.L , one that lead off the ESPN segment directly after the game . Horn will be entrenched in N.F.L. history for that moment and thats why he did it on ESPN , seemed to me rather amusing especially since ESPN is the network running the series Playmakers that depicts those players as crack addicts .

By the way

15 yards against the scrub team the Giants had to play with , Aint nothin ......

I agree with both of these...

Classless is Hasletts comment last season about the fans being at fault for the season ending loses .

But Horn\'s act was still WWF material and doesn\'t belong on the field. I\'m sorry for the sport if people think it does because that is what is degrading this league.

I liked what Bernie Mac said last week. \"You don\'t coaching in this league anymore, you babysit.\" Pretty much sums up the maturity of quite a few players in this league.

I don\'t mind a little dance in the endzone or a little celebration, but when you start pulling cell phones and sharpies out, then I think it does degrade the game. The NFL can put an end to that quickly, if they make the fine stiff enough.

By the way Billy, your boy Brooks had another one of his stellar performances that leave us wondering who that guy is that shows up on the next weekend. Great game. It could have easily turned around before the half, but we got lucky.

Lucky? I saw no luck. The receivers actually did something they rarely ever do, which is catch the football. They even made some great catches for a change. It\'s amazing how some good receivers can help a QB out.
