But that said, the jerkoffs on the Lions' defense still came across as extremely classless and petty.Brad Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443466836095058736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916319.post-22848792894743258052011-11-01T23:36:32.651-05:002011-11-01T23:36:32.651-05:00i'm sure tebow wasnt damaged by the mocking. w...i'm sure tebow wasnt damaged by the mocking. when you make public spectacle of your faith rituals you invite a certain amount of 'spetacle' in return.<br /><br />if you cant take it, dont display it. he's not the first or only Christian playing football, but he likes to show it the most.Ginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606046924332159076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916319.post-34761396630752985722011-11-01T22:48:18.915-05:002011-11-01T22:48:18.915-05:00One thing that can certainly be said for the Lions...One thing that can certainly be said for the Lions, the start to their 2011-2012 campaign has created more buzz than any Lion season in recent (heck, distant) memory.W.B.

I saw the Lions start a brawl with the Atlanta Falcons prior to their game, and thus believe they trash-talked QB Matt Ryan while he was hurt. I witnessed those jackasses on the Detroit defense mock Tim Tebow's expression of his faith. <br /><br />It's one thing to play with confidence and energy. But I think it's rather pathetic that a franchise who has averaged about 3 wins per season over the past decade struts around like they've accomplished something. They've had a nice start to a regular season. Nothing more.<br /><br />And for the record, I never said Suh was a dirty player. In fact, I like his game and sure wish he was playing for my favorite club.Brad Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443466836095058736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916319.post-60244551796607003462011-11-01T08:23:16.998-05:002011-11-01T08:23:16.998-05:00i've learned to largely ignore the sports pres...i've learned to largely ignore the sports press. they are no different than the entertainment press, with a need to gin up controversy and create saints and sinners where none exists.<br /><br />they HAVE to, in order to stay relevent and employed.<br /><br />i've read about the evil dirty player Suh is known to be, i also know that all these hard hits are part of football. the guy is NOT a dirty player. <br />i've seen replays of his atrocities, only to see that he was being flagged for nothing.<br /><br />maybe i'm a lil partial. my son played NT, against at least four players who made it to the NFL (mark sanchez is one/nick reed of the bears is another) he knows what tough fotball is and what is dirty or not, and has been too often on the recieving end of unflagged dirty stuff.<br />he admires Suh, becuase he isnt dirty while still instilling fear.<br />my boy is my go-to on this one.<br /><br />so, yeah, all this bad lions press is just press to me. it means nothing in the real world.Ginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606046924332159076noreply@blogger.com
