I can't recall ever seeing a brawl at the end of a SB; not sure if I can ever recall a brawl during one either. Some lip smacking and shoving yes, of course. Poooor sportsmanship. Even Blount was able to contain himself.
As they say: act like you've been there before...especially when you HAVE (albeit only one win), fake it when you haven't.
Yeah the Seahawks are a bunch of Low Life thugs in a sport that pretty much defines thuggery. If it aint punching your baby momma in an elevator and knocking her out, or drowning dogs cause they refuse to pit fight, its running with the old crew whacking other gangsters. Roethlisberger's weird shenanigans. Or beating up your 2yo kid you only occasionally see because you have so many salted around the country with so many woman. I mean the NFL actually has its own security service to keep an eye on these guys when they step out or to just keep them out of trouble and/or smooth things out when they get into it. Yathink anyone with 1/2 a brain making that kinda cash would know enough to give up "the life" and start acting like a professional. Making that kinda dough and your going to act that ignorant with the fans and reporters?
Between that end of game gang fight and that one knucklehead pretending he's taking a crap on the ball after scoring a touchdown you have to wonder how low they can actually lower the bar on not having any class. The guy is making millions and he symbolically takes a dump on the sport and country that gave him this opportunity. One where good men and woman are dieing in the field of battle to give him that chance. The NFL has turned into one extremely large POS! Ran by a total tomato named Roger Goodall. Where did they find that mush? Its been one episode after another.
We buried the exact opposite type of ballplayer last week, Ernie Banks. Ernie was classy even in an era when all ball players had class. I have a ball signed by him from the '69 season. On the 3rd base side Ernie would stand there for 30, 45 mins signing balls and mitts every game, a future HOF'er, giving the thrill of a lifetime to 11yo kids like I was. Im glad I was there to watch an era where ball players actually had class. Walter Payton? Another class act I got to meet numerous times.
Lol, I'd never spend a dime on the NFL product. Watching the occasional game is about it. Football is a fascinating game but this Roger Goodall era has just been a disaster.
