When players act douchey, untucking their shirts as a show of disrespect, doing a double somersault after closing out the game, or stare a home run down, it's showing up the other players. It's a cunty move, and people shouldn't do it.
And I think doing a crazy dance whenever you score a touchdown is douchey too. Act like you've been there before.
There's a fine line between showing enthusiasm after something and acting douchey, so feel free to criticize me on a specific event. But the point still stands.
When players act douchey, untucking their shirts as a show of disrespect
1) The whole thing started because apparently Mike Cameron's dad did it whenever he was done with a hard day's work or something and he wanted to "honor" him. Kind of a fluff story but whatever. 2) Even if that wasn't the case, how is it disrespectful? This has nothing to do with me being a Brewers fans; I just honestly don't see how it can be seen as disrespectful.
I agree to an extent about staring down home runs or other cases where it's obviously showing up an opponent, but if it's harmless fun with teammates in your own dugout or something then it just doesn't bother me I guess.

People (including Mets fans) used to flip a sh*t because Jose Reyes would salsa in the dugout after scoring a big run. Victor Cruz is making cash money for doing the same thing in an endzone.
Maybe this should go in the reading thread, but I was doing my weekly perusal of the bookstore and saw a Victor Cruz "autobiography" and a new Gil Hodges bio right next to each other and instantly thought maybe this is a Flanzo kind of day.

I'm a Jets fan, but I do like Cruz's rags-to-riches type of sports story.
I never had the pleasure of experiencing Hodges for myself, but through second hand knowledge have grown a very big admiration for the guy who brought the Mets their first championship and finally made them a legitimate team and not the lovable losers the country had grown to know. My dad just bought that and he already has RA Dickey's book, and I'm hoping to read both of them in the coming weeks (gotta finish A Song of Ice & Fire series first).

Um, I can't believe I saw Cruz and thought Jets not Giants. I hope that's the stupidest thing I do today.
Just going to say this now: I absolutely despise Fatso Francesa. He's usually incredibly biased against the Mets/Jets, barely talks about the Knicks and regards hockey like some random equestrian sport or something.
But this is great:
The Mets are officially the biggest laughingstock team I've ever rooted for, and that includes a 1-15 Jets squad.

I'd feel bad for you, except that I have the Indians, Browns, and Cavs... Don't bring a knife to a gun fight Flanz!

You still win this argument, but let's keep in mind that since I was born, the Mets/Jets/Knicks/Rangers have 2 combined titles (and I was too young to remember the Mets' '86 title) and 3 total championship appearances.
Basically, if you don't root for the Giants/Yankees, you're f*cked.

Since I was born... the Browns made the plays 8 times in 41 years, 3 AFC Championship game losses, no Super Bowls. The Indians?? 12 500 seasons, 7 playoff appearances (six of those in a seven year stretch), had the first closer to ever blow a save in game 7, and arguably had one stolen from them. The Cavs? Couldn't win a ring with LeChoke!
The Indians are an absolute embarrassment right now. One of the hot questions in town is "If they stopped having fireworks shows after every weekend game, could they take that money and get a left fielder next year?". It's bad.

And the Mets are only 3 games better than them, haha.

Aaand there's the reason I don't feel as bad for Cleveland fans as I do Seattle, Buffalo, etc.
Hey remember when LeBron was 22 and scored the last like 27 points for the Cavs in the ECF against the Pistons and it was easily one of the greatest playoff performances ever? F*ck that guy.

I lived through the Browns move, there is no comparison between the Cavs and the Sonics. Starbucks guy hosed Seattle. I believe that was 25 straight points in 2007. What we remember, is 2010 when he quit in the playoffs. QUIT.

Oh wow I had a brain fart on the whole Modell/Browns moving thing.
Owners who move teams from cities who actually want the team are pretty much the worst people in sports. My dad always tells me how crushed he was when the Braves left Milwaukee even though they were among the leaders in attendance every year. If the Brewers or Packers ever left town I don't even know what I'd do.

Don't! 1995 was horrible. The stadium was like a funeral home the last 4-5 games. We still hate Model. I don't know how they guy that moved the Sonics still lives in Seattle.
