Not even close last year, but obviously it's a case of tape > numbers.

Is the extra 196 yards on 4 catches really put him that much worse than Revis? Completion % the same, average and YAC a little higher, but Talib had more interceptions and gave up fewer TDs and had a better QB rating (guessing that's what NFL rating is) against. Just don't understand how that bears out to Talib being below average in coverage and Revis being amazing.

Now, you can debate if he is worth the trouble over Talib, but talent wise, imo, there is no debate.

Trash talking takes away from it being a team game and puts too much of a spotlight on an individual for my taste.

That being said, I don't 'hate' players for trash talking.....it just diminishes who they are and what they represent IMO.

Let the slings and arrows come!!

I admit I didnt know much about Sherman until the rant in that game. I think that rant had alot to do with people knowing actually who he is and how intelligent he is.
I am more of a shut up and play type of guy and dont really care for public trash talking, but if a player wants to do it on the field in a way that it doesnt bring alot of attention onto himself by watching the game, then so be it.

They say Larry Bird was one of the biggest trash talkers out there...he just did it without everyone noticing.

wkfan;1590364 wrote:Can't say that I have ever seen Peyton Manning slash across his throat, go facemask to facemask after a play with an opponent or call an opponent 'sorry'....so, no, I don't hate Peyton Manning. As I stated, I don't hate any of these players. Bad comparison.

This is just one of the many reasons that I do not like professional sports at all....

Bird is white

Also, it's not a professional sport thing. Where do you think these guys were before the NFL?

wkfan;1590376 wrote:Nope..wasn't me. About the only professional football game I watch all year is the super bowl.

I understand it's not just professional sports...it is in college too. More than likely why I stick to high school and some college.

Now, if you want to place blame on why college and younger players do this...it falls squarely on the shoulders of the prima-donna professional athletes. Like it or not, they are role models and are paid, or over-paid as the case may be to be so.
