Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid.

Why do people hate on cocking off so much? I love guys like T.O. and Chad Ochocinco, its what makes football entertaining ffs if you don't like it don't let the guy score.

God I hate these changes, it's ridiculous, one of the most popular NFL players jerseys? Chad Ochocino, heck even I have his shirt, because these guys are fun to watch! Let the guys be themselves! People love it!

I guess ...

... it depends on how you define sportsmanship and whether you believe it has a place on the field.

Its so stupid. And they also banned Eye Black with writing on it.

I actually think I had to do a double take on the TV when ESPN was showing
the new rules, then had to go look it up to make sure it was true.

Do they forget that these are 18-23 year old kids? It's called a game because it is supposed to be fun. I can understand unsportsmanlike conduct penalties when a player gets in the other teams face or takes it too far, but if he's doing it just because he is excited let it go. I guess i understand the eye black thing. Players could write offensive messages on there, but to use Reggie Bush's area code or Tim Tebow's bible verses as examples is a little crazy to me. Those were obviously positive and unoffensive (to me at least).

I do like the wedge busting rule though.

I have yet to see any eye black that is offensive. Its not like players are putting FU on their eye black. Like you said, its been Area Codes or Bible Verses. NOTHING is wrong with that.
