I am fairly tolerant of the actions of football players on other teams (teams other than the Broncos) .... all except for Terrell Owens, Wide Receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles. He is a loud mouth - there is no doubt about that. Honestly - I can usually deal with a loud mouth athlete... especially if their performance backs up their shit-talking. The shit-talking usually makes me laugh. T.O. is an amazing receiver...there's no doubt about that either. But T.O. talks shit about his own TEAM all over the media and in the locker room. He punched out a former team mate last week. And repeatedly verbally abuses the team's quarterback. No way. This guy is a thug...and I don't want to see his face on the TV anymore. Just announced today that Terrell Owens has been cut from the Eagles. Good job Coach Reid. There is no room for that kind of unsportsman like crap in the NFL. No room at any level... all the way down to little league. There are too many thugs in sports...and I commend Coach Reid for taking a stand against that kind of behavior. Even if they may not win another game this season.
I also think that it is fantastic that the NBA is not allowing any "bling" on the sidelines by players not suiting up for that night's game. GOOD! The players were beginning to look like one big tangled chuck of gross gold jewelry...not professional athletes. The players (even when sitting on the bench) make more than I do in 6 months, so they can wear a suit and look like a professional...not some punk ass kid from the streets.
