Kaep is a ego driven punk. He'll get his, and it might be as soon as next week.
Luck also is out of line by mocking cavemen. No one cares because cavemen are all gone. It's still uncool.

The stark difference between the celebrations from NFLers to NHLers, is that what someone in the NFL scores, they immediately look draw the attention to themselves; when someone in the NHL scores, they immediately look for someone to celebrate with.

Put me in the old guy category too I guess. I like to see players excited & certainly don't mind TD celebrations but the imitating the other team's player's TD celebration just seems very non-creative & low class to me. I have been calling him Kaperdink for quite awhile now. What I find really annoying is every time a player catches a ball or has a 6 yard run that he acts like he just won the Super Bowl & has to signal first down emphatically. The NFL is becoming the "Look at me league!" We may never see another Barry Sanders who always acted like he expected to pick up 1st downs & score TD's....just flipping the ball to the ref afterwards.

Does thinking that Kaep will "get his" let you sleep better at night, despite the jealousy and hate? Calling him out on a fantasy football message board will definitely put that superstar, multi-millionaire NFL QB in his place
I'm picturing you guys laying under your covers, fuming about the whipper snappers and how kids today show no respect.

I was hoping for a cheap knee shot to Boldin and knock him out for the reason of the season with his thug antics yesterday

Look dude, I'm not going to judge you for whatever lifestyle you have, but there is no reason to tell me about it.

Bingo...it's sports/competition so there's nothing wrong with being fired-up and celebrating big plays...yet too many of these guys celebrate in a selfish/immature manner or in a manner to demean their opponent...seriously, you're in your late 20's and early 30's and you are still craving personal attention...you really don't realize how foolish some of these guys look until you have kids and than have to explain to them why it's ok for them to act in a manner that would be unacceptable at a third grade sporting event...

On totally average plays too. That's the part that is so ridiculous.Ballstein said:
- You scored a TD and you are still down 10, get your ### back to the bench, you haven't done jack #### yet. Keenan Allen being the latest fool.
- You caught a pass and ran for a 1st down. Been done millions of times before you. Ted Ginn.
- You tackled the guy after a 2 yard gain. big ####### deal, get back to the huddle.
- You knocked down the pass. Act like you have done it before, not like it just won the Super Bowl.
Normally, I'd agree wholeheartedly with the OP. But I would like to see Boldin play one more game with the chippiness that he displayed yesterday. I hope he draws Richard Sherman all game long and pushes him around and gets him out of his game. Sherman is quite possibly the biggest ##### in the game right now and I'd love to see Sherman lose his cool and have Boldin pick him up and splatter him into the turf.
As for Kaepernick, he is easily the closest thing the NFL has right now of a street gang thug playing quarterback. From the tats to the taunting to the gangster-style way he wears his cap, he's lucky he was born with talent or he'd be in the Bloods or Cryps.

In the NFL you often see guys score and try to run away from their own teammates who are trying to congratulate them.

You are not alone, I felt the same. I had not said anything about and my 17 yr old son comes in and notices. He said, what is these players? So, age is surely not a determining factor of how the behavior was viewed. It was over the top and poor job of coaches reigning in their teams/behavior.AngryPatriot said:

Wait til 49ers v Hawks this weekend. Game might take 5 hrs due to all the trash talking b/w every play.
Just look at the HCs of those teams to see why they do it so much, Petey and Harbaugh(hate each other) and will be talking trash all week(in the locker rooms I hope).
Does anyone think Boldin/Davis/Crabs wont be talking to Sherman/Thomas/etc?
Joe Buck might be due for another all time quote(a la Randy Moss at Packers).
Personally, I dont care. They making fools of themselves IMO. Its not cool, needed or part of the real game of football. To each his own.

I could see the opposite happening. Sherman is pretty smart and knows when to take his shots. Boldin acts like he has penalty immunity (and maybe he does) - he blatantly gets away with stuff other players could only dream of. Maybe next week his behavior finally catches up with him and he takes a few penalties. Besides you would think the officials should be calling this game tighter after yeterday's display.

allen scored in the 4th quarter when they were down 17-0
and then again when they were down 24-7.
either way his team was LOSING
And both times, his 'celebration' was to point at his nametag on the back of his jersey. lol A pretty blatant way of letting everyone know who he is playing for. He's going to be a good one, it's a shame he's just another self-centered, diva wide receiver.

Has nothing to do with the game other than getting into the opponent's head. Funny thing is that the guys who engage in it most heavily are most likely the same ones to be affected by it coming back. Talk ####, eat ####.

Exactly. Pointing to your name on the back of your jersey seemed pretty low class to me.

'Thug' is a fashion. And it's a look Kaepernick is desperately trying to achieve.

You guys act like this is some kind of recent trend… Defensive oriented teams have been doing this for decades (see Ravens). Sure, Kaepernick doing the Scott Steiner and Golden Tate dancing effeminately is not to the liking of some older fans… but what are you gonna do? Blame gangsta rap?
JohnnyU
Footballguy
So, which is dumber, the straight-brimmed hat that Kaepernick wears, or Big Ben and Matthew Stafford still wearing their hats backwards, which is so 90s?
I think Kaepernick is the first of the gangster wannabes who played quarterback. He dresses and acts like we've grown accustomed to defensive backs and receivers acting. Now here are reporters trying to get a word with them after big games and he looks like he just made a rap album with 2 Chains and Lil Wayne. America needs Brady and Manning more than ever. Please don't age anymore. :(

So basically we need more "white" quarterbacks like Russell Wilson? You do realize that by completely judging a book (kaepernick) by its cover you are condemning an entire subculture as somehow inferior.

barry sanders showed no emotion about football at all, it was just a job to him, he could of cared less about winning, just wanting long highlight reel runs.
Give me a guy that shows some fire and passion

Hey Pats fan, how did you feel when your team did the shawne merriman lights out dance at mid-feild vs SD? Or is that ok? because you know, it was the Pats and all. Im sure the great coach Bellicheck would have never allowed such vile and punk behaviour!!!!!!!!!AngryPatriot said:

You have to admit the straight-brimmed hats look ridiculous. When I was growing up the only people who wore those rode the short yellow bus.
If you think Russell Wilson is white, than you need a new TV. I have no problem with any black quarterback and the way he carries himself, other than Kaepernick. It's coming out more and more as he gets more comfortable. If it was Nick Foles or Blane Gabbert trying to act like Eminem, I'd say the same thing about them. The NFL doesn't need thug gangster types as it's poster boys, which QBs are. The way he looked after the game yesterday was embarrassing.

Russell Wilson isn't white. The road you are going down here is racist. You also misunderstand the judging a book by its cover statement because you are applying it in opposite fashion. Not good posting, at all.

There's a reason "white" was in quotes, specifically referring to his image, not skin color. Maybe you don't like the look, but that's just what it is… a LOOK. It says nothing about the person or his character. I'm guessing the tattoos get to you too? The way Kaepernick carries himself is much better than Vick when he was with the Falcons, yet you have no problem with that?
Sorry but it just seems very presumptuous to label someone by their choice of apparel.
BTW I'm no fan of the way Kaepernick dresses or his image, but the guy has more road playoff victories than Montana and Young combined and I'll take a guy who can get the job done over someone with a "clean" image like Cutler who has terrible body language on the sidelines.
