Yes, my reply was "sour grapes". I live in Los Angeles, so the Chargers are my hometown team. I was truly disapointed in their showing. I was too nervous to watch the game, so I listened on the radio. You have every right to gloat and praise your team. My post was made shortly after they blew the game. Sports are an emotional subject, heck, that's why grown men participate in this forum. Good luck to the Patriots. I only hope you did not jinx your team with the praises.
By the way, Belicek could still use some shampoo...or even baby powder...or how about a cap?

Totally understandable.By the way Albert Einstein could use some shampoo as well don't ya think?............

What does this post have to do with collecting game used memorabilia?
Bill Bellicheck is a so-called genius. But yet, he hasn't discovered the invention of shampoo.
By the way, you rush the field after your team's kicker MAKES a field goal...not when the other team's kicker misses...totally bush league.

You will have to forgive me for misinterpreting your intentions. Your beaming came across as rubbing it in. I had high hopes for the Chargers as did many others and to see them throw away the game, well it just sucked.

No problem man.It's all in good fun.It was never my intention to rub this in anyones face.I'm just a passionate Pats fan

I agree with Yankwood. I think it's an inferior sport and the celebrations are ridiculous...

Picture Cal Ripken doing a little jig or strut because he fouled off an 0-2 breaking ball that would have caught the corner.

Re: The mighty Chargers fall to the team of the decade

As far as the celebrating goes, who cares? This stuff has gotten so out of hand now, to me football has become unwatchable. Sportsmanship is totally out the window these days, so if someone taunts you by doing a dance that you do, I ask, why do you do a stupid dance in the first place? All this crap has really become annoying and the game became popular long before every 3 yard gain or deflected pass needed a celebration.

You are so right ! On top of that the zebra's don't know what the heck they're doing or the games are rigged . Point , Atlanta @ N.O. Saints earlier this year . the falcons first punt from their own end zone that was blocked by the Saints , THREE defenders went thru the Falcons line un-touched to block that punt , the falcons line didn't move after the snap . Saints Scored a TD with ease!!!!!!!What happened ?????????? I don't have a favorite NFL team due to the officiating , they always screw someone ! Their calls affect the outcome of games . I just enjoy watching the Bucs LOSE ! because they act like a bunch of rabid animals after making a play , so much for sportsmanship , the celebrations have gotta go away !! That and Gruden's stupid smirks . I like to watch old film of the NFL Players scoring a TD , they just hand the ball to the ref and go to the sidelines, w/class!

Out of respect for the Yankee fans on this board I would in no way brag about a Twins victory and tout them as the greatest team of the decade. Not a chance. I don't believe in kicking people while they are down.

Re: The mighty Chargers fall to the team of the decade

Prior to 2002, were there actually any Pats fans outside of the New England area?

Re: The mighty Chargers fall to the team of the decade

And let me just say this.Would you find it annoying if i were talking about the Twins beating the Yankees in the ALCS in NYC?You just complain cause it's not your team.My team just beat the best team in football owners of the league MVP,10 game win streak,and unbeaten at home.On the road nonetheless.Cut me some slack dude,i mean no disrespect i'm just a huge ANNOYING fan of the Pats...so be it

Re: The mighty Chargers fall to the team of the decade

It's not the winning that makes people dislike the Pats. It has more to do with the story below.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs06/news/story?id=2731727

Then top that off with annoying fans posting on message boards about how great their team is and, well there really isn't much to like about them.

And comparing them to the Yankees, please. Last time I checked 3 championships is a long way from 26.

First of you don't have to like me or my team thats fine.But don't start this one way celebration bull.It was reported in all Boston papers and national ones too(Usa today)that the San Diego Chargers players talked enough smack before and during the game to piss of quite a few Pats players.So as it may not be right what the Pats did it was just in response to the trash talking and lack of respect for the team that ultimately sent them home....sour grapes
