		<description><![CDATA[Remember when T.O. stood in the middle of the Dallas star after a TD? Remember when Emitt Smith scored on the following drive and spiked in the middle of the star and kneeled?

Remember when Joe Horn pulled out the cell phone hidden in the goalpost?

Remember when your team was allowed to celebrate and how it made you feel when an opponent scored and celebrated in your endzone only to have your team come right back and throw a taunt right back and how that made you feel?

Worst thing that the NFL ever did was take away celebrations. That is when the NFL really started to decline into the excuse of football league it is now. The competition in football is almost all but gone now .]]></description>

First, Bozo you need to get a life. Really Dude. You’re just sad.

Second, As Parcells would say “act like you’ve been there before.”

_
First off, get over yourself. I’m just having a little fun here, at the expense of you whiny Pats fans who always seem to have no problem dishing it out (see any Jets thread) but can’t take it (as evidence here and elsewhere by the responses to my teasing posts, your response included).

Second, New England sports fans have never been able to “act like they have been there before”. The first decade ever that your teams collectively have had success in quite a while and your fan bases still can’t be gracious winners (again see any Jets thread…or Yankee thread during baseball season, for that matter).

Try sharing your advice with your fellow fan base members (as well as taking it yourself).

As for me, time for me to go out and enjoy that “life” that you think I don’t have (trust me, it’s better than yours by a long shot). I won’t give you the details but suffice to say that you couldn’t keep up. Good night, patdumya.

___

Nice try...but no.  You post about the Patriots on every thread whether the artical is about them or not.

It&#039;s a little more than trying to get people &quot;worked up.&quot;  If that were the case...you&#039;d post once and be done...but as far as I can tell, it appears you respond to EVERY person who responds to you...and emotionally.  It&#039;s like you&#039;re crying while you&#039;re typing.  

Obsessed much?]]></description>

wax that says:

“Gronkowski is a helluva player but such d****e.

Like the Pats fan said above. Classless.”

_________________________

Dude, there is not a Pats fan on the planet who would say that. Anyone who said that is only pretending to be a Pats fan. Trust me, Pats fans love this guy and that won’t change because he spiked the ball.

By the way…what’s with the recurring “classless” comments about football players? Are these guys supposed to be concert pianists? Of course they are “classless.” It’s football.

Comments like that are such a reflection of the wussification of our society. 

I think the whole “classless” thing stems from Ladanian Tomlinson crying like a baby because the Chargers lost to the Patriots at home in the playoffs a few years ago when he thought they should have won.

ps – even though Gronkowski clearly didn’t spike the ball in the Stricklands face – I SO wish he did.

Remember when Braylon Edwards did the “Dougie” in front of the Pats CB’s last year? I can’t even recall the guys name…he got cut.

__
Complaining about comments regarding &quot;classless&quot;?  Hilarious, given that you Pats fans are always the ones claiming (falsely) that your team has &quot;class&quot;.  You reap what you sow, loser.  Blame your own fan base for bring up the topic of &quot;class&quot;.  And don&#039;t complain when they fail to live up to the falsely applied label.]]></description>

Hey clown (yeah YOU), why can’t you add something meaningful to the inane comments you post. I think you most likely have a crappy job and your boss is down your throat. 

Thumbs up if he should be banned from posting.

Hey clown (yeah YOU), why can’t you add something meaningful to the inane comments you post. I think you most likely have a crappy job and your boss is down your throat. </p>

Stupid call, stupid fine. And no bozosforall, I am not a Pats fan. I cam a Steelers fan. But I hate stupidity more than I hate the Pats (and I hate them a lot). Gronk was not taunting. And to get a fine for that was ridiculous. 

Half the coaches and players in this league taunt and talk smack every day of the week. Do they get fined? Ah, no. But come game day, do something like spike a ball too hard and you draw a penalty and a fine. Stupid.

Let them play.

__
Never said that you were a Pats fan.

And stupid penalty/stupid fine or not, karma was at play here.  The Pats have had many similar penalties go their way, so payback is inevitable.  My comments were to the whining about by a fan base that gets more than their fair share of calls that go their way.

And who&#039;s to say that Gronkowski wasn&#039;t taunting...after all, &quot;everyone does it&quot;, don&#039;t they?]]></description>

Wonder what Mubles has to say about that?

===================

He&#039;d probably say; You ran the route correctly. On the next series were going to run the 2 minute offense.

&quot;Mubles&quot; doesnt care, as long as effectively know the system. The result of the play extended the lead, and any lead is safe with the Jets as long as Sanchez is in and you dont turn the ball over.]]></description>

Not a Jets fan at all...I just like watching you crybaby Pats fans squirm.  The volume of responses to my posts confirms that the New England sports fan base is by far the touchiest and most insecure fan base in the sports world.  Thanks for adding to the data.

Neither...I&#039;m just the messenger.

@grampats

Yeah, because &quot;bolt&quot; ALWAYS means the Chargers, right?  What a moron you are.

@all Pats fans posting here

Get up off the toilet seat, pull out the tampons, pull up your lacy panties and quit whining about every single criticism of your team.  Or is it time for the rest of us to call the WHAAAAMBULANCE for you losers?]]></description>
