NFL Week 12

[Thrashen]

At halftime of the Steelers-Chiefs game, did anyone else see Bob Costas’ segment concerning Stevie Johnson’s touchdown dance (in which he mocked Plaxico Burress) and the clownish behavior of the NFL’s players in general?

Costas, ever the odious corporate-slave, actually made some fantastic observations about the pandemic of constant showboating, taunting, dancing, gyrating, and poor sportsmanship routinely exhibited by the NFL’s current crop of employees. Sure, Costas didn’t mention race, but of the dozens of clips that were played while he spoke, only two featured a white athlete (Tony “Wigger” Scheffler and Mark Gasteneau).

Costas was tremendously sarcastic, slighted a popular reality TV show, longed for “good old days,” and used terms such as “buffoonery,” “obnoxious,” “knuckleheads,” “stupid,” “graceless,” “mindless,” and “self-indulgent” to accurately describe the myriad of black players who exhibit such behavior. Here is the full transcript…

“For those of you too busy keeping up with the Kardashians to notice, we live in a culture that in many ways grows more stupid and graceless by the moment. Sports both reflects and influences that sorry trend, so on playing fields everywhere, true style is in decline, while mindless exhibitionism abounds. In the late '60's, the Giants had a receiver named Homer Jones. He invented the spike - and it was great; a simple, elegant punctuation that somehow has devolved into ridiculously excessive celebrations. Given the tone of the times, it's probably too much to expect that most players would appreciate that back in the day, [business-like Barry Sanders] was much cooler than [showboat Mark Gastineau], or that there is a difference between spontaneous and/or good-natured displays of enthusiasm and calculated displays of obnoxious self-indulgence. No, that train has already gone so far down the wrong track, there's probably no turning back. So our suggestion here is a more modest one: Hey, knuckleheads, is it too much to ask that you confine your buffoonery to situations that don't directly damage your team? Week after week, game after game, we see guys who think nothing of incurring penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct, costing their team's valuable yardage, even late in close games. Today's most conspicuous culprit: Buffalo's Stevie Johnson, who after a TD catch vs. the Jets thought it would be a good idea to go Marcel Marceau, pantomiming, among other things, Plaxico Burress shooting himself in the leg. But in this case, it was Johnson, who shot himself in the foot as his display cost his team a 15-yard penalty on the ensuing kickoff. And given a short field, the Jets proceeded to score in a critical game that wound up, 28-24, New York. Which raises this question: where are the coaches in all this? Guys are routinely benched or called out for blown assignments. When is a coach going to make an overdue statement and sit a guy down on the grounds of pure selfishness and unprofessionalism detrimental to his team? By the way, late in the loss to the Jets, Johnson dropped a pass that could have led to a Buffalo win. Shockingly, he didn't follow it with a rehearsed ‘my bad’ dance of apology. Maybe he just forgot.”

This nationally-televised discourse was quite shocking, especially when uttered by a limp-wristed, Judeo-Corporate finger-puppet such as him. Costas showed more balls than I’ve ever seen displayed on Network Talmud-I-Vision. I’m now waiting for the squeals of “insensitivity,” “ray-o-cism,” and requests that Costas apologize, be fired, or “step down.”

hey jax, who's that on your avatar? i thought you were jinxing people? :icon_twisted:

Matthew Stafford with hot girlfriend. I don't think I can jinx him any worse then he already has been of late. I was tired of having to look at black players as my avatar so I picked something a little more palatable.

yup, i figured it's Stafford but then i thought it would be out of the jinxing context!

as long as you don't have Hillis, it's all good. ray2:

Might put a jinx on Silicon Valley...

Yeah, they look like they've had some help. I have an eye for those sort of things.

TO: Thrashen: Great Post on Johnson but PC NFL will do nothing

I am probably among Caste Football's oldest members (70+ years old). I attended my first NFL football game in 1951 (LA Rams at the Coliseum) and first college football game in 1953 (Notre Dame in South Bend). In those days sportsmanship was paramount among all players, black or white. You never showed up your opponents no matter how badly your were beating them and you never ever rubbed it in after scoring a touchdown.

I am not sure when football player celebrations started but I do remember the idiot Jet white man Mark Gastineau doing a sack dance in a game against the Rams in 1983, after sacking the Rams QB, and the Rams outstanding black offensive lineman Jackie Slater going after Gastineau for it. This led to a ban on celebrations. But the NFL later chickened out as the predominantly black NFL teams picked up on celebrating (today as far as I can tell there is a celebration on every play). So the league changed the ban to cover "excessive celebrations" whatever that means.

Personally, I find any celebration of any type in team athletic competitions disgusting and always excessive, but it is my belief that going back to the traditional rules of sportsmanship in black dominated football today would be viewed as a "whitey" thing and it will not even be considered by coaches, team owners or collegiate institutions. As a result I have stopped attending or watching any games, and follow football only via highlights on TV and the internet. Happily, by doing this I miss having to watch most celebrations, but I still get to see (via those same highlights) every act of celebratory stupidity, such as spiking the football before crossing the endzone or celebrating a touchdown so outlandishly that a penalty has to be called. These acts are usually "performed" by a black player who plays a so-called "skill position" and who deprives his team of points and a victory in the process.

Hey, Stevie Jones, I just added your name to the list. Way to go, getting that big L for the team.

 

[jaxvid]

an 'eye' ? I prefer the squeeze test :happy:

The networks used to show the drunken idiots that would run on the field during the middle of games. They don't anymore, in an attempt to discourage them by not giving them the attention they want.

The networks could easily do the same with the preening showboats of the NFL (along with coaches heavily fining them), but the policy instead is to show and glorify their selfishness and lack of class and respect, unless it goes too far ala Randy Moss "mooning" the fans, or the entire offense participating in a choreographed ooga booga dance.

To the Cultural Marxist producers and directors, Costas is merely a "grumpy old man" who just "doesn't get it." Not only are the players' "dances" shown ad nauseum because we're supposed to think of all non-criminal black behavior as "cool," short clips of them are often used as parts of promos for upcoming shows, as are their primal jungle screams and screetches. The NFL Network runs shows now that are nothing but "soundbites" from games that if one was just listening and not watching could easily sound like it was recorded from a prison yard brawl.

The primitive posturing of so many selfish, attention-craving NFL players is similar to the schticks and personalities of pro wrestlers, so I'll agree with bigunreal to the extent that the two entities do share some similarities in that vein.

Every word you wrote is true, as usual. Here is a video from Costas' peice from last night...

Nice to see someone here who goes back farther than me. Gastineau may or may not have been the first to do the sack dance, but he was the first to get a lot of attention doing it.

Years later, Gastineau tried boxing and won a few against barely alive stiffs. When a below mediocre club fighter hit him on the chin, Gastineau was out like a light.

 

[Carolina Speed]

I am going to lose my mind! Michelle Beadle, I think that's her name says Suh should only get a 1 game suspension, saying there was alot of pushing and shoving before he stomped on Deitrich-Smith, so if someone pushes and shoves me and I put them in the hospital, what do I get, a 2 game suspension.


I love women and Beadle is kind of cute, but she has no business commenting on the battles that go on in the NFL!

 

[Carolina Speed]

Atleast Beadle backing Tebow, while the 2 wimpy boys, Cowterd and Jon Ritchie hating on TT, giving the Denver defense most of the credit for the Broncos run.

Yeah the white guy was the cause of the problem. :crazy:

The NFL and Costas like to take both sides of this issue, on the one hand they will fine and criticize yet on the other they will promote and glorify the black minstrel behavior of modern black football players. That way they can appease the few old white farts left that watch the game and still hope to amuse the young honkies with the typical over the top stupidity that they have been trained to expect. Playing bioth sides of the coin is a good way to make money.

I wonder how this is going to play out. I was with some family this Thanksgiving and the older white guys (45+) were glued to the TV for 3 straight games while the younger white guys (25 and under) wanted nothing to do with watching them. I think the NFL is supported by a large collection of older white males with plenty of income and time to sit in front of the TV and be pandered to.

It reminds me of Harley Davidson, who is able to make a bundle selling overpriced lower quality bikes to the 45+ white male who have the dough to blow while the bikes themselves are despised by the next generation. I can see the NFL revenue stream dropping off of the charts as the white males who grew up playing the game and liking it die off. It will take a while, you can be an NFL junkie well into old age, but is the next generation going to go for it?

 

[Don Wassall]

I think the NFL will remain very popular as long as fantasy football is very popular. The older generation of DWFs will eventually die off, but fantasy is mainly a young man's hobby, which the media knows and caters to.

Will fantasy remain popular? With seemingly more injuries every season, which increases the already large luck factor, it's possible it will "jump the shark" one of these seasons. All fads eventually peak in popularity and then fade, often rapidly. When that happens the NFL will be hard-pressed to keep its unique position as the secular religion of the world's first thoroughly designed Idiocracy.

 

[wile]

A relative of a friend is a head coach of a small high school's football team and he can barely put 20 juniors and seniors on the field while back in my day (late 70s early 80s) that same school would put at least 50 on the sidelines. Quite possible that football hits a demographic table edge and drops like a rock in popularity, but then again college football's popularity says differently.

 

[Deadlift]

Thrashen says,

With the playoffs approaching, my “Superbowl Hopefulsâ€￾ from the AFC are New England, Houston, and Denver. With For the NFC: Green Bay, Dallas, and New York Giants (with St. Louis eliminated).

When I mentioned that New York's d-line could be dangerous if the Giants' make the postseason, you lashed-out at me and gave an overview of their team's racial-makeup.. and suggested that there was nothing much to root for. You also accused me of "wanting the Giants' to do damage in the postseason."

Right, which is why I was going for the Redskins' over NY in Game 1 of the season? Which is why I posted the myriad of season-ending injuries they had? I'm not a "fan" of this Giants' team, but Jake Ballard has been a good story. What caused your change of heart?

Recognizing that the Giants' could be dangerous if their offense and defense are clicking doesn't make me a fan or supporter.

 

[Anak]

Edelman kicks ass, there is no excuse for Belichick to not make him a starting corner or at least a safety.

 

[Deadlift]

Athletic pick by Will Herring.

 

[dwid]

Everyone says Jimmy Graham is right up there with Gronkowski as a tight end, I just don't see it. He can't block, and despite popular belief, is less athletic out of the two. There was just a fade thrown to him in the redzone, sailed right over him. He literally only had to jump a few inches to catch it. Where is this 38 inch vertical, basketball type leap at? The only reason why he has a few more catches and yards is because he has more targets, close to 100. Before last week he had 94 to Gronkowski's 80. There is no Welker on the Saints taking away targets. It would be nice to if they had Mike Hass. I find it hard to believe that he couldn't at least perform at a Lance Moore type level.

What a horrible call by the refs. That was a legal hit on Nicks. When a White receiver gets hit like that there is never a flag thrown, even if there is helmet to helmet.

:rofl:


well that is where most of them would be if not for the caste system.


I can't stand watching touchdown celebrations but I wouldn't mind seeing a drunken idiot run onto the field and then get tackled.

 

[foobar75]

I was at the gym this evening and one of the TVs had NFL Live on. Tim Hasselbeck and Merrill Hoge were talking about Tebow. Hasselbeck appeared to be the one defending him, while Hoge was red in the face and seemingly on the verge of a massive coronary. At one point, he turned toward Hasselbeck and I really thought he was going for his throat, before Trey "the wigger" Wingo intervened. If anyone caught this segment, please share with us what was being said.

 

[foobar75]

Atleast Beadle backing Tebow, while the 2 wimpy boys, Cowterd and Jon Ritchie hating on TT, giving the Denver defense most of the credit for the Broncos run.

Jon Ritchie is a disgraceful pondscum. I saw this segment and according to him, Tebow only deserves "a smidgen" of credit for the Broncos success. This clown can look forward to a long career at BSPN. Cowturd needs no introduction. As for Beadle, I always thought of her as a useless bimbo, that is until I heard her defend Woodhead, Hillis, and now Tebow on more than one occasion, so I was wrong about her.

 

[JReb1]

Nothing changed for the 1-4 Broncos except their QB and then the team goes 5-1. Tebow and Decker are the ONLY reasons that Denver may win their division! If Orton was still the QB Denver would be lucky to have 3 wins right now...

For every negative Tebow article I've seen at least two or three are positive ones. That's an excellent ratio. The DWF's absolutely love this guy. How many first round quarterbacks have this kind of support? Very few!
