American Football

Browns were killed of course. Why must Romeo insist on starting Charlie Frye at quarterback? I mean I'm not lobbying for Brady Quinn to begin yet, but he could at least start Derek Anderson or something rather than wait until the second half to put him in. :sick:

At least Kellen Winslow's finally earning his paycheck at tight end..

The Lions did pretty well also...

I watched last night rooting for Manning and crew, but the real game is on Monday for me. I'm from Cincinnati, and I wish I had cable to watch the Bengals game. First, they're my hometown team and I'll not get to see the game. Second, Chad Johnson is planning something that he says will likely mean a half million dollar fine, and I'm going to miss it:bawling: . I have to hear about it second hand or search the Net after the game to see what stunt he pulls this time. Did anyone catch the gold shoes, followed by Nike shoes last season? That ran him a quarter million because Reebok is contracted for all the NFL uniforms. His pranks are normally funny, and I can't wait to find out what he does tonight for their first game.

Well so far he put a sport coat on that said "Future HOF 20??". That can't be it?

The prank was a dud!!! All he did was go back to the bench and don an announcers jacket that had "Future Hall Of Famer 20??" written on the back.

Funny thing Higley. Pennington was hurt and had to come off the field sunday and the Jet fans cheered when he left. :lol: I think they're looking for a change.

My mom was telling me on the phone that it turned out to be a dud. She did say that on their broadcast that you could see the team members telling him not to do it. She's in Cincinnati so it was a pretty solid broadcast. I'm guessing the higher ups caught on and warned him not to do it as well. A shame since his pranks are normally good.

Haha, oops, sorry. Guess I should've figured that out from the avatar. :redface:

Greetings,

I am not a fan of planned celebrations in pro football. My feeling is that by doing so you are putting yourself on a higher level then the rest of the team. The NFL, in my opinion should fine the the player and penalize the team when this occurs. What do you all think?

I'm all for them as long as they are not for too long of a duration, and they should also always act with respect to the other players. Doing a little dance in the end zone is one thing, but taunting the other team is not kind at all. As long as it is an act in celebration that isn't taunting or disrespectful to other I have no issue with celebration and I am entertained by it.

I haven't been here for a while . . . so I'm just posting even though this thread's been up for a while.

I barely know a thing about football! but my university (Rutgers) is getting up there, so I have been paying more attention to college football lately. But I don't even have a TV! so that just shows you how little I follow it. ;)
