Remember the hit that Chicago put on Vick


Bartkowski

Recommended Posts

What I remember about that hit was Chris Chandler (then with Chicago) running out on the field and screaming and cheering and slapping Urlacher on the helmet. It was pretty clear that he was really pleased to see his "replacement" get clobbered. And that after airing his dirty laundry in the media and making all sorts of comments about the Falcons that only went to show how bitter he was.

You know, Chandler was pretty classy while he was here, but once he left he really turned into a jerk. Apparently that's how he was, though. You hear the same stories out of Houston when he was an Oiler.

No it doesn't but the last two Super Bowl Champs have some true class on their team and in their coaching staff. Get used to seeing and hearing class being displayed, it's a new NFL.

last time i checked, antonio pierce is the opposite of class...im sure you remember him and what he did to our QB in the dome..and what about plaxico...missing practice without notifying anyone. is that classy??i think not. what im saying is no team in the nfl will be full of classy players (including us). everytime someone gets into a LITTLE bit of trouble in their personal life, its their business. its shouldnt be made a big deal. just like the whole michael boley thing. no one knows what happened, yet speculations are that hes a woman beater, and i remember when the story first broke, alot of people on this board was calling him to be released asap. thats some total crap right there.

I remember that they just creamed him & he got right back up.
Roosevelt Colvin. The Bucs, Eagles and a couple other teams as well. Ryan will have to take hits like that too. They hurt. And they cause injuries. Part of the game. He will be alright. If he gets hurt I am confident in Redman and I also think Shockley could get us some points.

I never said there would be entire teams full of classy players, it is however what the NFL is striving for during the re branding of their image. The fact is the Colts and the Giants have consistently positive public images lately and that is what the NFL is going for, there will always be outliers when you're employing several thousand coaches/players/staff but in general the NFL is going for a much more fan/family friendly image, these guys are public figures and despite what people like Charles Barkley may think kids and people look up to these players, the fans are the one's ultimately responsible for the success of the NFL and any professional sports league, the NFL is doing the right thing in controlling the type of behavior the players exhibit.

Class, smass, as long as someone is playing for the Atlanta Falcons, I support him. When he is not playing for the Falcons he can die and burn in h*ll for all I care!

land what about plaxico...missing practice without notifying anyone. is that classy??i think not.

What?

Plaxico missed practice to deal with an emergency with his son which he didn't disclose because he wanted to keep it private. He served a suspension and paid a fine and didn't apologize for putting his son before football. That is class.

You say the New England Patriots have class? I honestly don't know which team is more dirty, Bucs or Pats.The Pats are anything but classy. They are about as bitter as they come. I'm glad Tom Brady got his knee blewout. He is a little overrated jerk with no class whatsoever.

Newsflash to you, sport. I never said anything about building a team with classy players. I just made a comment about Chris Chandler.

And by the way, class has very little to do with play on the field. Derrick Brooks is an absolute monster on the field and one of the classiest guys in the world off it. Same with John Lynch, Peyton Manning, Jessie Tuggle, and on and on and on. It is no guarantee that a classy player will be great, but you know damned well that a classy, decent guy will NOT put the team at risk the way a scumbag will through his selfish behavior.
