Training camp: Los Angeles, day 2

He didn't start it but he went to go put his 2 cents in and sometimes that 2 cents is enough to get your ass beat... He should know that since he's from 'the hood'.

Yeah, like I said...he didn't start it. Jesus, are you this dense in real life? I still love you, by the way.

yeah....let's see.......on Monday Rams WR Brian Quick, wearing a yellow hat indicating that he is not supposed to be tackled , was popped and tackled by two Cowboy defenders. On Tuesday, Gregory (Cowboys) ran up the back of Tre Mason after the play was over an Rams players came to his defense.

So, who are the cheap shot artists?

It appears to be pretty obvious that both teams have players who are guilty of that. But who gives a shit about the Cowgirls? It's the Rams players I care about and how may Incognitos on a team do we want? How many unsportsmanlike penalties did we get last year? That's a problem whether some believe it is or not.

thanks to this off-season,
the words "Sucker Punch" and "Cold DNA rifle" no longer refer to being hit unexpectedly

but instead:

the new definition refers to "When a pre-madonna athlete (i.e. Dez Bryant and Geno Smith) get's deservedly knocked out after talking shit incessantly"

Actually I stole the idea from you. It's hard to do with the EXACT same words.
Check's in the mail.

If dense is real then yes.

Alan, You make a good point and I can hardly disagree with you about the Rams being a heavily penalized team during the regular season.

I guess I'm a little emotionally invested in what happened ; I was there, 30 yards away. On 2 separate occasions I witnessed a Cowboy player instigating illegal contact after the whistle. Did some of the Rams players take cheap shots ? Yes, as did many of the Cowboy players. I don;t condone that behavior.

I will finish by saying I think the Rams players deserve credit for playing by the rules and not instigating any illegal contact after the whistle.

I liked you better when you were channeling your frustrations thru paper mache

(that was the greatest av ever)

Let me just start out by saying the Cowgirls suck.

It's the culture. I watched a discussion that somebody posted with Bayless and Smith talking about the brawl (this one and others) yesterday and I rarely watch or agree with anything Bayless (Smith is only incrementally better) says but this time I agreed with both of them. They both said the NFL should do away with the mixed practices and the only difference between the two of them was that Smith said the blame for the fighting should be apportioned equally between the players and the coaches/team and I agree with Smith.

While the contention that fights are inevitable is true, that's only because the teams/league encourage it (IMO) and it isn't right but that doesn't bother me so much. It's those cheap shots you mentioned that really get my goat. From both a moral perspective and an injury perspective. What would we be saying/feeling if GR had been injured was was out for the season because of a cheap shot he couldn't protect himself from?

What REALLY gets my goat though is the fact that we get so many retaliatory penalties. To me, that just shows a lack of discipline and that's on the coaches IMO. Cogs could be baited into a penalty just by trash talk and we eventually had to let him go because of that. I don't want any more players like that on my team.

Last but not least, the Cowgirls suck.
