      The line you speak of is very fluid- your team, your favorite player vs. your heated rival, the jackhole of the league, or just some team some place. All of them can do the same thing under the same conditions, and you will interpret them differently.

      Considering some of the horrible hate male the Fab5 got from so called alumns, race does factor into that, sadly, too.

      For Cam- what I really like is that he's showing how much he ENJOYS playing football. Smile, interact with the fans, etc- he seems to really enjoy playing football. To me, that's great!

      (and not even considering what he does off the field- which says he just loves being with people. So gives back a lot)


      No, I wouldn't interpret it differently. If Rodgers did a canned routine after every score the same as Cam's, I wouldn't like it or think it's appropriate. And I'd say so.

      Has nothing at all to do with Cam the person. It's only about his actions and those actions crossing the line that I have in my head.

      No one has to agree with me about where that line lies, but I'm tired of people telling me why I feel the way I do or that I'm inconsistent about it.


      That's always so difficult for some to get. It's the actions, not the person. So many always want to add some deeper meaning such as race, sex, or whatever.


      Showing how much he enjoys playing football or making himself the center of attention?

      Team sport. If he were a prize fighter, his antics would be appropriate. In fact, boxing is dying for a guy like Cam to come along.

      The NFL doesn't need it.



      All that said, is this life and death stuff? Of course not.

      I'll sleep just fine tonight.

Stephon Diggs was called for a celebration penalty because he started dancing after a score, then another receiver (rookie or second year) joined him there and the flag came out immediately. Meanwhile you could see the veterans running up to them, trying to stop them from dancing only to be too late.
        i completely understand the rule and accept that by rule it was a penalty, and I understand the league doesn't want refs in the business of determining whether it was choreographed or not but I just that it was stupid in that moment.

          OK, so you are special. Great.

          But people in general do bias their opinions of actions based on who is doing it.

          Still, it's a freaking game. For fun. And theses guys get paid. They can deal with it.

              Chargers and Rams have reached an agreement to share a stadium in LA. Chargers to remain in San Diego for 2016 season then move unless a stadium deal in San Diego comes through.

                    Did he mean for the 2016 SD season or LA thereafter? I think you're right either way though.

                      I thought LA but SD too. What connection could the Chargers think they'd possibly have in LA?

                        The SD Chargers started out as the LA Chargers back in their AFL days.

                            It's been a long time since any of the three teams vying to move there had any actual history with the city that it just doesn't matter anymore. It's not a squatter's rights battle, it's a battle for making more money from a foolish city willing to spend its citizens' money for a team that most people there seem ambivalent towards having in town anyways.

                              So in other words San Diego, give us a brand new spanking new stadium with all of the bells and whistles or we're going to LA.


                              Oh, did anybody else see that deal where UNLV is in talks to build a dome stadium in Los Vegas and they had reps from the Raiders there talking about maybe moving there as well??

                                I know. A lot of the adults that watched them there are dead now. The Rams have only been out of LA since '95. I just think it wouldn't work out well for the Chargers.
