Suh is being criticized for his sack celebration

[wolverine304]

Ok the 1st teams I saw were wvu and the steelers and I hate them. Morgantown is in state and not very far away.


I gurantee I wouldn't like the lions, and probably not michigan either.

 

[Mitchrapp]

That's because the Steelers meant jack to you. They were how far away? Its just different. When I was kid and you had the lions, tigers, pistons and wings - all on TV I'm not going to just say, nah I'll root for the Bears.

 

[wolverine304]

Pit plays on tv every week here just like the lions do there. Its less than 3hrs away. Same with morgantown. Yet I hate them both. Nothing is different.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Its different because I say its different. Listen to me Packer boy.

 

[wolverine304]

Nah.

 

[elrod817]

You know Cheese...it might be a little different with the Lions. One of the main reasons that I'm getting from you in your dislike of WVU and Picksburg (which I totally understand) is that the fans rub you the wrong way. Thinking their teams are the greatest ever even when they accomplish nothing and you have to hear about it all the time in the local press which makes it worse. You might have gotten that feeling about the Wolverines growing up in Michigan, but I don't think you would have gotten the same feeling about the Leos.

Was watching Sportscenter the other night and saw Dwayne Wade do Cams "superman" thing.....Cam was in the first row watching.... when he hit a game winning bucket. So are people just as upset at Wade?

Cam wasnt playing in the game....mocking the superman thing is out of line right?

See how stupid it sounds to whine about it.

Even the packers fan that visits this board shouldnt think it was dumb. EVERYONE celebrates a sack. EVERYONE dances. If you dont like Suh, that's fine, to each his own. But to say it's classless or silly or anything like that is moronic.

I can't believe this thread has 3 pages.

 

[coel73]

I generally could give a damn about a celebratory move; i just think it's a little moronic under certain circumstances. Like Roy's overzealous assclown first down move while the lions were getting their shit pushed in by 20+points. It would have made more sense to me if suh did it while: having a decent year and while rogers was on the field, but he didn't actually cost the team in any way by doing it so yeah, doesn't bother me so much.

 

[Mitchrapp]

So now Suh didn't have a decent year? He's been good. Its not all about the sack totals. What DT has high sack totals each year? The quick answer iS none.

Suh spoiled everyone with his rookie year in terms of actual numbers. That was just crazy stuff. This year the DT with the most sacks was Geno Atkins of Cincy with 8. I'm guessing no one knew that.

 

[wolverine304]

You might be right about the lions. But I don't think. I just probably wouldn't hate the lions. Some reason I just don't like likeing the same teams as people around me lol.

As for the suh thing. It was no dumber than the rest of the celebrations that happened. I don't see a big deal.



OT. Does the raji/suh debate get a little closer since this year suh played more like raji does with taking on some many blockers? Lol jw

 

[Mitchrapp]

RajI equal to Suh, lol. Hahahahaha.

 

[Thumb]

You guys were saying it was dumb.

Its just something that happened in a practice and the team has fun with it. Packers have great chemistry

It is dumb, just slightly less than the Rocks raised eyebrow, just slightly more than Hulk Hogans hand to his ear to all 4 sides of the ring before dropping the leg on the Macho Man.

The very first NFL/AFL game that I ever watched from beginning to end was Superbowl III, which was actually the first year that it was really called a Superbowl. The then AFL's Namath and the Jets vs the NFL's Unitas and the Colts.

I "might" have became a Jets fan afterward, if the Lions hadn't become a halfway-decent team the following season, and snagged the lone NFL WC berth, as did the AFL's Miami Dolphins. After that '70 season, the Dolphins quickly became "perfect" while the Lions??...meh.

But especially ever since the turn of the century, and the rapid evolving and availability of broadband internet, it is much easier to become and remain, and especially follow the teams of your choice, regardless of where you live. Not anywhere nearly the same as in the 70s when you had only what the three major networks broadcasted whatever they felt would attract the most viewers andratings to the region where you lived. (except MNF, of course) Some young people became fans of the Atlanta Braves beginning with the advent of cable TV 80s, simply b/c of TBS turning them into "America's team".

 

[Mitchrapp]

I don't know any Braves fans besides the people who live in Georgia.

 

[wolverine304]

I have a few friends who like the braves

 

[Mitchrapp]

That's because you don't have a baseball team in WV. Choose who you want

 

[turok]

What does "some" mean to you?

I personally knew a couple of Braves fans, but they lived in Atlanta for awhile, before they moved up to northern MI in the 70s.

I mentioned that only b/c I remembered reading an article in Sports Illustrated long ago, about how Ted Turner's TBS channel had attracted some cable TV viewers during the 80s into becoming Braves fans, since that NL team was the ONLY one in all of MLB back then, when nearly the entirety of their seasonal games were being broadcasted nationwide on cable TV.

The world as I knew it ended on that day the Colts lost. If only Earl Morrall (who started every game of that season, and not Unitas) had seen Jimmy Orr, with no defender within 15 yards of him, waiving his hands.

The pirates. People here like the pit teams just as much as you guys like the lions/tigers
