Doesn't anyone get sarcasm here ?

A whole lot of this stuff is childish.
If my post was uncivilized moderate it out, I'm fine with that.

Ah, The Man himself .

You make the call Nostatic.

OK, as long as we're pretending to be in grade school, here's my reply:
I'd be willing to bet a great deal of money that Tom Brady could kick your a$$ up and down the street and not break a sweat. If that makes him a pu**y, what does it make you? SmileWavy

Seriously Sammy, if this is your attempt at sarcasm, perhaps you should familiarize yourself with the green font...

Sounds all the world like a Pats-bootlicker who is rushing to defend his hero...

That may be... NOT.
I think Hillary talked to TO prior to the game JUST in case the Boys lost.

Seriously.
So what makes Sammy's (or my) attempt to highlight some childish comment unacceptable when the post that first drags the thread into the gutter is OK ?

I never said Sammy's reply was unacceptable. I just think that's it's stupid to get so caught up in a pro-football player. Apparently Sammy agrees with me, we disagree however on how effectively he can use sarcasm over a message board.

And for the record I didn't see anything in your post that was unacceptable, JCF. Not sure what the fuss is about.

I didn't take offense and I was called a name, LOLOLOLOLOL. And I never said the dink & dunk wasn't effective just said I didn't like it.

Seems we're back on track.....you pussies ! :D

I remember one of TO's first games in San Fran. If I'm not mistaken Rice was hurt. He caught a TD and got wacked, held onto the ball. The TD won the game I believe. He was on the sideline crying then. I thought, 'boy there's a hard nosed player that cares'. Unfortunately his ego obviosly took over when he 'found out' he was a special player. To bad.
(And I still think Toms a weiny. Even Simms called him out when he layed down after a push to the ground. Maybe is was crying also tehe)

If you have ever heard Phil Simms, or Troy Aikman, or Bill Cower...well, you pick a professional commentator (with any real cred) discuss Brady, the words pussy, crybaby weiny or anything like that are the absolute opposite of what they say.
Simms was laughing because Brady was trying to draw a penalty and it wasn't even close.
Were you watching when they were talking about him putting a block on a lineman ?

That TO catch was against Green Bay for the Wildcard (?)
Amazing catch.
He was CREAMED by two guys in the end zone and held on.
He has skills, no question. But he is still way too self centered.

I'm just a bitter Steeler fan that's also jealous of Brady getting such FINE, (well physically anyway), P*SY, lol.
Man I got issues

If it's any consolation I think the Steelers of the 70's are one of the Greatest Teams of them all (top 3 too hard to pick so call them even)
My Mom is a big Steelers fan (grew up in near Grove City)
I like it when they win, just not against the Pats.
I remember too well those sundays not that long ago when they were losing games 52-0.

Mariucci said TO cares more about the game than most players and he wears his emotions on his sleeve. He gets hyped up when it is going well and tends to speak too much and he crashes down when he loses.

Anyhow, either way, I think TO did a great job this season both on the field and off. I'll take him back next year with open arms, lol.

please use the new term: putzy

thx
yours in moderation,

how's that ?

Dude, give it a break. I didn't whup up on the cowboys, the giants did. Booo freaking Hoo.
I dissed your idol TO for all the world to see, sure it must have stung but did I say anything that wasn't true?

I root for the patriots and have for quite a while. I think brady is very under-rated and I said that months ago. I don't root for the cowboys because of TO. Get over it.
If you're having that much trouble dealing with the fact that the cowboys are sitting at home instead of getting ready for the important games, write yourself a prescription or something. :rolleyes:

Putzy?? Wasn't he on Happy Days? :D

Yes I think TO matured some this year. And his game in the Eagles Super Bowl was one for the ages, abit a self-serving one.

Yes, TO is a great reciever. Probably in the top 10 best of all time. But that is definitely not all that matters.
He distracts from the game, he sets a terrible example for kids, he reflects a moral decline in part of our society and he perpepuates it. He takes away more from the game than he contributes even with all his god given talent that he obviously takes for granted.
He is exactly opposite of what I was taught when I was young and learnnig to play football and baseball. Sportsmanship, class, be respectful and a graceful winner and never be a poor loser. the same things I teach my son, I just hope I've taught him well enough to realize what a loser TO is and is never tempted to emulate him. There will be millions of other poor sports and low-lifes who will be happy to do that.

It's a shame all that talent had to be wasted on someone like TO when there are so many players with class out there that deserve it more.

To be frank:
1) TO is paid to play the game.
2) He does not distract from the game. He probably brings in more viewers and ticket holders than did Michael Erwin and Deon Sanders combined when they played for the C-boys. TO, conversely, enhances the game.
3) God-given talents: Have you seen how he works out? The man is in fantastic physical shape. Has he been popped for steroid use, drug use, alcohol abuse, etc? So what is this assertion that he takes for granted his God-given talents?
4) Yes, role models are good. But in all honesty, who said TO is required as a top-tier football player to be a role model?
5) TO, a loser? LOL! I don't have enough time or energy to humor that ridiculous accusation. :rolleyes:

I have to say the Steelers would win that one. Great defense trumps great offense, and that was one GREAT Defense. No soft spots.
Offense was almost as good as the Pats. Brady over Bradshaw though. Swann and Moss close to even.

TO is not a loser by any stretch. But he has created distractions on all the teams he has played for.
That may sell tickets but it doesn't seem to win championships.
I don't think he is as bad as he is often portrayed and I don't think the celebrations are over the top (not ALL of them - LOVED the Sharpie) and he wants to win and works hard no question.
But if you badmouth your own QB - IN PUBLIC (on all the teams he has played for) how does that help the team. Evidently doesn't.
I say again I kind of like the guy. He BLOCKS !
I hated Moss before Belichick and Kraft settled him down.
Solution - trade him to the Pats.

Pretty sure that the Pats would win that game against the 70s Steelers in
a Blowout...

I mean those Steelers are all in their 50s and 60s right now.

The Packers should beat the Giants. The Patriots should beat the Chargers.
The Patriots should beat the Packers in the Super Bowl. That's the way it should turn out.
But sometimes things don't turn out the way they should. They didn't yesterday.

Wow Sammy you really are getting riled up over this...

LOL, just admit you are a Patsie Bootlicker and move on. This whole charade of "Oh, I was being sarcastic" is just silly....

Oh and I'm not home fretting about the Cowboys losing...see the reason is because:

It's

Fast-forward 10 years:

Tom Brady is considered by many to be the G.O.A.T., and TO is still crying because he didn't get elected to the HOF until the third ballot. Barely.
In the ultimate act of childish un-sportsmanship, the total looser took his ball and went home and threw a temper tantrum.
Even after he retires he's still a total ass.

In a childish game of wits, here’s why Terrell Owens is winning and the HOF is losing
By David Wetzel
July 17, 2018 06:51 PM

This is really childish.

There’s Terrell Owens. And then there’s the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The two entities that will forever be linked are in the middle of a temper tantrum contest. But who’s winning?

That’s a complicated question and there are many opinions out there. I, for one, believe Owens is winning from the mere fact that both are losing.

Owens’ beef with the hall of fame is in some ways just, as he’s certainly got the statistical resume of a first-ballot HOFer. Yet, because of his attitude and chronicled volatile relationships with teammates, it has taken three years for him to be elected.

That has prompted him to take a stand as he plans to become the first player elected to the hall to skip the enshrinement ceremony, which is next month. Instead, he announced that he’ll celebrate his induction at his alma mater, Tennessee Chattanooga.

In response, the hall decided it will not recognize him individually. Instead, his only mention will be when the class is referred to as a whole.

Boy, has the hall relinquished the power to him. It’s playing his game now.

Most people are faulting Owens, and I have no problem with that. What else should we have expected from him? This is what he does.

However, I had expected that the Pro Football Hall of Fame would take the high road, given its illustrious reputation. Instead, the hall has lowered itself to T.O.’s level by engaging in a battle of childish behavior.

The hall of fame should be better than this. The entire issue of whether Owens should have been a first-ballot inductee or not was a decision by the HOF Selection Committee, and the members obviously punished him for his reputation by making him wait two years.

Fair enough. They have their reasons. However, to once again punish him for disagreeing with them by refusing to show up, it shows all kinds of pettiness.

Personally, I think hall of fames in general are overrated as so many get in and there’s often odd reasoning behind who gets in and who doesn’t. I also think nowadays we’re seeing more of a referendum on a player’s character rather than just his greatness on the field or court.

Ever heard of Ty Cobb? Yeah, that guy was in the first class of baseball’s hall of fame. Do you also remember how he was known for sharpening his spikes in order to injure fielders when he slid into a base?

Cobb got in without issue, yet Steroid Era greats - who simply took advantage of a loophole - are just seemingly starting to get a foot in the door.

Furthermore, let’s look at a couple of this year’s Pro Football Hall of Fame first-ballot inductees. There’s Ray Lewis, who once was up on murder charges that were later reduced. Then there’s Randy Moss, whose character and maturity were also questioned at times during his career.

So why is T.O. being singled out? I’m not really sure, but it’s not that important in the grand scheme of things.

What is significant is that he’s getting in and his choice to not attend is his right. But the Pro Football Hall of Fame is doing an injustice by not giving him his time in the limelight whether he’s there or not. Instead, there are sour grapes all around.

Again, the hall of fame should be better than this.

Reports have been circling about Owens wanting to resume playing, whether it be via the CFL or NFL, at the age of 44. He’s even posted on social media, indicating that he still can run a 4.45 40-yard dash.

If so, maybe he’ll play a few years in the CFL and wind up a hall of famer there, too.

And perhaps that league’s hall of fame will address him as the grown up in the room.

I saw him at a neighborhood park working out early this summer. He still looks like quite the physical specimen. He's got the body of a Greek god.

You would too if all you had to do every day was work out and eat healthy.

Mr Owens can't run a 4.4 40 yard dash at 44 years old.

I have no idea who TO is. But following these posts from you guys, I think it's one of the kardashian's.

In the HOF? For what?
He was just a good receiver. Borderline great, IMO.

I'd say he was great. People person? Not so much.
