Chad's touchdown celebration of donning a poncho and sombrero on the sidelines on Sunday cost him another $30,000. I hope that was a real Mexican poncho and not one of those Sears ponchos. :eek:

What do you think of him? I really haven't followed pro-football much in the last few years so don't know much about his antics, but I heard an extended interview with him recently where he seemed like a good guy (not an a-----) who didn't really take himself too seriously.

The sad part is that the 'celebration' lasted for only 30 seconds or so. The NFL so needs to get over itself and attend to more important matters like the officiating Monday night. :saywhat: :thumdown:

Chad is an attention whore, but unlike some of that type he really wants to be liked. He's a fierce competitor but I don't think anything he does is malicious.

He pouted for a while after a bad season when he stopped getting the kind of attention he wanted. But somewhere in the process he seems to have figured out that he can't afford to pout for the last three years of his contract if he ever wants to wear that gold jacket for real.

So now he's back to having fun but he's much more of a team player. Hopefully that will continue.

The irony is that in the midst of Chad's funk, a lot of folks (myself included) would have liked to have kept T.J. Houshmandzadeh and dumped Chad. TJ was the "fiery competitor" and Chad was the "distraction." Now with TJ gone and Chad's attitude changed it seems like he's a better fit in the locker room.

TJ's attitude is looking a little less "fiery and competitive" and a little more "angry and selfish" in retrospect. So while TJ is whining "throw me the ball" in Seattle, Chad is saying "run it 50 times if that's what it takes to win" in Cincy.

More than likely a good thing since the top pick is expensive and a crap shoot to boot. Unless it takes you out of position to draft Suh. I still say Tebow is you man. DQ even sez so. :gomer: And and reports are the tide is rising in Cleveburgh. Better get that boat ready. ;)

12-28-09, 05:37 PM

Does Brandon Jacobs wear a skirt now?

Bradshaw showed he was the better back all season (and last) but hurt his foot midway. He also isn't an every down back, which would be OK if Jacobs was pulling his share.

Jacobs turned me off a few years ago when he pull some very unGiant-like antics in the endzone. He also has too big of mouth to play in NY, especially if he is not going to fully concentrate on improving his game and back up his talk (see Simms, LT, Messier, Rivera, Jeter, Ewing for examples of how to thrive and survive as a NY star).

Jacobs was frightening at times early on with the Giants. Lately not so much and I don't care if he goes. I also don't care if he turns it around. He's already put too much turn in his legacy to care much about him.

However, going into this season the big concern was the receivers and they've turned up pretty big all season. Injuries are also showing they could maybe use some depth (or maybe just reps) on the O line.
