You're missing the point. The Pats are "over", their dynasty run is "finished". Brady and Belichick are "overrated". So why the need to constantly take shots at them? Everyone got what they wanted, the Patriots are out.Still bashing them just reeks of sour grapes to me.
Nice useless
Joe. Most of the replies are even worse.Can we get a :thisthreadsucks: smiley yet, because this one sure needs it.
There is little question about it - JB has no equal in theNice useless

business. Outside of Terrell Owens I have never heard or seen a player celebrate on an opposing teams logo. I cant imagine that ever happening without being called out for what it is.
This thread was started to bash a Charger. The world doesn't revolve around the Patriots. Try checking out the Pats forums if you want all Pats all the time.
You are proving his point.Exactly. Dropping balls and fumbling is directly linked to steroid use. Your logic is astounding. He said their logic was on par with their intelligence
LT didn't like the dancing on the Charger symbol after the game and Belichick is such a sore loser he can't even shake a man's hand or actually speak his name when discussing the game. BB is a sore loser???? no kidding, what's your point?
I really wouldn't want my LB saying that he does his best not to hit people so hard as to cause them injury. ....he obviously isn't going out of his way to hurt people.
college football down?
yeah Groovus, I almost got lured in and posted mean and hurtful things about Merriman and Chargers fans... but then I remembered that there were a few of you out there that are pretty decent fans.See you guys in week 4(?) next year. It's gonna' be quite the grudge match.Nice useless

Since when was dropping balls associated with intelligence or steroid use? Is Chad Johnson some kind of rocket scientist?My point was the last people that should be talking about post game whining is Pats fans given their coaches tendencies. Bill should be more gracious and LT probably should have kept his mouth shut.You are proving his point.Exactly. Dropping balls and fumbling is directly linked to steroid use.

I guessed you missed the threads debating if Tom Brady was the best QB of all time and if was the most clutch player ever to play QB. Maybe you should only read these forums when the Patriots win if you cant handle it.
Actually the OP asked how this new information about this Charger changed the way people look at an incident that involved the Chargers and the Patriots.I don't know if you heard - but the Patriots beat the Chargers in the playoffs a couple weeks ago and a couple of chargers were upset about how the Patriots celebrated immediately after the game. That's what this thread is about.

And he was responding to this:
A Chargers fans brought up the Patriots.Should be easy to figure out - he quoted it.
That should be quite the humdinger, I hope everyone's healthy and ready for that one. Problem is it's just one of 16. I really hope there's a rematch in the playoffs - that would be platinum.
Nice work, JWW!
If you're talking about mini-camps, I thought it was more ridiculous on the part of the Chargers than it was on the part of Merriman's agent, but it was ridiculous by both parties.If you're talking about training camp, he only held out a week -- one of the shortest holdouts by a Charger first-rounder in the Butler/Smith era.
For me, I grew tired of Merriman's anticts during the game against Seattle. After sacking Hassleback, Merriman immediately does his stupid dance downfield. Meanwhile its the 4th quarter and there is a min or so left in the game and Hassleback is rushing to the line to get the next play off. Merriman barely avoids getting called for offsides and had to sprint back to the line of scrimmage.As a whole the Chargers defensive celebrations need to go. I grew tired of them the moment I learned Luis Castillo's hurt his ankle not on a NFL play, but getting up so he could do some stupid celebration.
No worries. I've figured it out, so between the two of us we've got it covered.
Most of them, but I do enjoy Harris's double cartwheel into a back flip. I'd like to keep that one.I blame Mark Gastineau. It was tacky then and it's tacky now.
Special teamers get their own rules. If you are only on the field maybe 5 times a game you should celebrate every play you make.
I disagree. In fact I hate it when special teamers act up after making a tackle, in fact I hate it when anyone acts up after making a tackle. You did your job, woooohoooo. Now I'm going to go work on my "just wrote one good line of code" dance, I feel it's not up to par with my "just gave a good presentation" dance.To quote Iverson "Get in the game man."
I think this is very well put. It's not the act of mimicking the dance, but when and where it was done that made it not classy. I'm not a fan for either team, but Tom Brady might have an opinion about what a few of his teammates did after that game the next he's about to lineup across from Merriman. Watch out...is all I have to say to that.
I just barely care enough about this topic to respond. To me, celebrating after a play is more appropriate than rubbing a team's nose in it after a final outcome. Call me old fashioned, but I think a top seeded has earned some degree of respect that allows them and their fans to leave a generally successful season behind.
What about before the game? Is that a good time to talk smack about your upcoming opponent?Seems to me like people are just a little overly sensitive to the where's and how's of trash-talking. I was taught during my youth that scoreboard had final say.Look, I'm not saying what Hobbs did was right, but Hobbs' actions were in direct retaliation to the crap coming out of Merriman's mouth in the days leading up to the game. Does the "Brady sucks" chant Merriman led ring a bell? Like I said earlier... don't want to be treated like a jerk; don't act like a jerk.
As does Philip Rivers for calling Hobbs "the sorriest corner in the league". Let's hope Hobbs and Colvin aren't best buds either.
Yeah, that's news to me, love to see a link on that one.
Right, so why say anything after that? The classy thing to do is take the W and go home in style - why instead join the crapfest at that point?
I think he's referring to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHyLlL01tGAHe caught a litte heat for encouraging the "Brady Sucks" chant.
Hes referring to a Scott and BR led Charger power rally. I highly doubt the Patriots saw it. I think their beef with Merriman was more due to Merriman picking the Jets to win than anything. Regardless any sort of taunting behavior on a team logo is reprehensable.
Nobody in NE is saying what Hobbs did was right. Just that Merriman sooooooo had it coming.
If I saw it, someone on the Pats saw it.
Every team in the NFL has it coming. It's not like this is reserved to things only Pats players or Chargers players do - it happens all the time. Like I said before this whole thread is pretty lame (yet disturbingly effective)
by Joe.This whole thread should be sent to the Considering the oldest comment on that particular video was after the game, Im going to call BS on that one
Merriman is a tattoo above a hot chick's butt? How did he achieve that?
That could be the case, but Colvin doesn't nearly strike as much fear into an opposing offensive player as Merriman. You have to game plan for Merriman, which is not the case for Colvin.Kit Fisto said:As does Philip Rivers for calling Hobbs "the sorriest corner in the league".

I think you are missing the point too if you think that the "sack dances" are all emotion. They are all pre-planned, rehearsed, etc. and they are done for the sole purpose of taunting an opponent. I've played plenty of football, yet I've never found myself doing a dance during a game.
I never called him stupid. I said it was a stupid post, kind of like yours. A lights out celebration is nothing different than a Chad Johnson TD celebration. Neither of which is taunting or mocking anyone.
As to the bolded part...
