AFC Championship: Colts vs. Patriots - Sun Jan 21, 5:30 CST

Let's stop with the Bush thing. It really wasn't all that bad, and he did apologize for it right after. Urlacher didn't even seem to really care (but then again, he never seems to care about much else than the game). It was Ogun who came out and chastized Bush, but he hadn't heard about the apology yet.

 

I think it's a non-issue. As is Hester's nearly identical taunt.

 

I don't even think Ogunleye should be saying anything. I saw him mimicking the referee's safety signal, and I know he'll celebrate after a sack. Unless you're Barry Sanders and you never celebrate on the field, shut the hell up and quit whining about other people showing you up.

 

Mimicking the ref's safety signal? Seriously man, your trollish anti-Bearness has gone to new levels. He was calling for the refs to make the safety call. Considering it took them 10-15 seconds after the play to make the call, it made perfect sense that a player would be making that signal. Guys do the same thing when a player gets in the end zone. Their is an enormous difference between mocking an opponent mid-play, and signaling a safety or TD after it has occurred.

 

Yeah this is akin to complaining that players signal "no catch" or make a facemask gesture.

 

It's like comparing Bonds standing at home plate admiring a home run and then doing a 360 twirl before rounding the bases to Todd Walker signaling "safe" as he crosses the plate. It's not even close.

I don't even care about the Bears, that's the funniest part. You're so paranoid you think everyone on this board who isn't a Bears fan is just some anti-Bears troll. The Bears don't play in my team's division and for most of the time that I've been an Eagles fan, the Bears have sucked. They're irrelevant to me.

 

But guess what - Ogunleye taunts, Urlacher taunts, most players in the NFL taunt. Dawkins or Trotter or McNabb or the other 40 players on the Eagles who celebrate or taunt or talk trash - I wouldn't want them bitching about something like what Bush did. If you want the right to complain, then conduct yourself like a perfect gentleman on the field. Otherwise, keep your mouth shut and stop the other team so that you're not the one being shown up.

 

And yeah, if we're going to start complaining about that, then let's actually call it both ways. I took a look at the Bears-Rams thread, and want to guess how many people called Hester's antics on him? Here's a hint - it's a number between -1 and 1.

I took a look at the Bears-Rams thread...

It's time for everyone to chill out.

not so much, but at least you're a colts fan so i know you're not punishing me for "hating" the bears.

So making the safety sign while you await the ref to award the safety, and then running around in celebration with the safety sign is not gentlemanly enough? Give me a break. You are being absolutely ridiculous.

 

Pointing at a player is clear taunting, making the safety sign is nothing close. Hester was taunting. It's been discussed.

I just don't understand people getting their panties in a bunch about Reggie Bush. Unless your team doesn't have trash talkers and taunters on it - and we all know that our teams do - don't get pissed that other teams do it. Outside of taking a dump on the other team's logo at the 50 yard line, there's not much of a level of disrespect between one action or another.

I want to know how you knew I was wearing panties.

Bears fan have no control over what Bears players say/do. So when you come and criticize us for things they do...there isn't much we can do.
