I don't know why I must defend myself when you never answer any of my questions but here goes... Sure, just as if I were a woman. NO. I get offended when the opinion of my identity is misrepresented. Some people try to make me feel special by saying, "You aren't like other brothers" my moniker clears that up. I would have defended his actions no matter what color he was. It is football, it was not a classy move but I maintain Warren Sapp is NOT an embarassment to football. Because I'd seen the HBO documentary the night before. I feel as though no matter how I answered this you wouldn't give up. I defended the VERDICT, not OJ, plus I'm sure you would have posted a quote of mine that contradicts what I maintain, if it existed. Actually Jorge, YOU are showing your true colors on this one. If your Warren Sapp thread was not racially motivated, you would have agreed with me on this one and moved on. After all, it is the class of the athlete that you debated, right? Wow, I guess I killed Kennedy too huh. I bring up everything Jorge, and try my best to stay away from racial issues, check the "Black Colleges" thread. Sure I have opinions when it comes to race because I feel that I have something to offer to the subject with respect to my race and my occupation. Answer this question: 1. What charaties have you lent your time to in the past five years? Me? Glad you asked... The Houston Area Womens Center (One of the only males to perform their gala) The Urban League- Nationwide (schlorships for excellence, blacks and otherwise) Any benefit for crippled children (I have cancelled paying gigs to do these) Christmas charity events Celebrity waiter for cancer research Muscular Dystrophy telethon volunteer The Spokesperson for Adult Literacy in Houston -1995 BTW did I mention Pro Bono? If I was the person you describe, why are these on my resume... What's on yours?
AB, don't waste your breath. TJ is a pompous ass who will never listen to what you are saying, only respond to it with more pompous rhetoric. Get out of this thread with your dignity intact.
I realize this, but he has to be stopped. The more he beats this horse, the more of a fool he becomes. The worse part about it is that I initially thought he was someone that I could learn a great deal from, unfortunatley he has taught me lessons that choose not to pass on. My apologies for keeping this going.
Gee, makes good sense to me. Not that I fully understood the questions. Let's give AB a round of applause.
I guess I was one of the few who thought the original question in this thread was valid and merited thoughtful discussion. Boy did this go off course.
Shockey is defintely a embarrassment flipping the bird is just poor judgement. This has been done in other sports but those guys are just flaming (Robert fick) shockey did his so calmly what would happen if this guy gets in a rage? I will excuse him from the ice incident it seems like it was a accident but he should have never put himself in a situation like that. Running into defenders instead of running for the endzone is just stupid. TO does his stuff for show hes a modern day Deion. Shockey is just a punk every catch he does something and when he doesnt make the play he does something. I am so glad the texans didnt draft this guy so we can retain our "classy" organization.
Actually, I'm one of the sporting world hypocrites who talks poorly about guys like Owens and Shockey, but would give my left nut (well not really, but you know what I mean) to have them on my team. I would have loved for Shockey to be Carr's premiere target. (drapg hides his head sheepishly after saying that, especially considering all the bad mouthing he's done towards the man)
Why does Peterson get no criticism in any of this? Yeah, Shockey shouldn't have flipped anyone off - and its classic that he did it right when the TV cameras flashed to him. But what the hell was Peterson doing on the ground doing pushups after defending a pass in the freaking first quarter?
Major, I agree. There's really nothing I hate more than idiot defensive players who freak out after making one stop. That and WRs who freak out after a 2 yard pass. At least Owens does his stuff after he scores.
I'll say this about Owens...I never laughed so hard after he pulled that Sharpie out...or when he grabbed the pom poms from the cheerleader
I hate myself for enjoying the pom-pom incident. It goes against everything I desire from sports, but damn it if it didn't make me laugh!
About football: T.O. is the best receiver on the planet. He may make stupid plays, but at least he is creative. Shockey, in my opinion, is the best tight end in football. Yes, better than T.G. Shockey is cocky, but I like his attitude. Its football attitude. About all that racial crap that was going on: Im not white. Im also not black. Im Persian. My unbiased opinion is that Another Brother wins the case against Jorge.
I think Shockey's attitude is one part "idiotic punkness" and one part pure hype. His agent has gone on record as saying he wants to make Shockey the NFL equivalent of Anna Kournikova, that is to make him the biggest media personality in his sport. Doing nonsensical outbursts on the field will surely give him that title. Just look at the outburst it has caused on this very BBS.
